Candy Jack is a mostly sativa strain that provides a swift boost to your mood alongside a sweet, citrus aroma. The fragrant smell is inherited from its Skunk #1 parent, while creative and focused effects stem from the Jack Herer side of the family. While its complex terpene profile may impress even the most hardened connoisseur, patients typically appreciate Candy Jack’s ability to counter stress, depression, and appetite loss. With a few Cannabis Cup wins already under its belt, Candy Jack’s potency, flavor, and effects have won this sativa a sterling reputation in the cannabis world.

Literally Jack but without the shit taste and smell. Smells incredible. Spicy piney citrus banger right off the nose with a sweet herbal base. got a bit of tunnel vision after i smoked but that’s probably down to my terrible tol. Super lovely energetic focus boost got me to clear out a lot of college assignments similar to the feeling of a few redbulls or espresso shots. highly recommend it’s one of the few sativas i’ve found i can tolerate in taste besides strawberry cough and strawberry ami (my extinct lost love 💔). takes top place in my book tastes like a candied piney lemon peel and i hate the taste of citrus. can’t stop smelling it out the miron.

I just got this zip of Candy Jack a couple of days ago and I love it. It's a lot like the Jack Herer alone but with a much better sweet Candy flavor. I feel energetic, happy, uplifted, and focused. It gives you good, clean energy without making you jittery or anxious. It knocked my stress, anxiety, fatigue, and sour mood right out after just 3 or 4 good rips. Then you feel really energetic and focused but not geeked out. It makes chores, video games, errands, and socializing easy and better. Put me in an instant great mood, motivated, and ready for whatever. One of my new top 10 favorites. Gonna replaced Jack Herer at #7 with Candy Jack because it had all the same benefits of JH but with a better taste and smell. I love JH and Durban Poison but hate the smell. Give it a try if you need a energetic sativa but are prone to anxiety or if you like regular JH or Durban Poison but not the smell or taste.

You’re gonna love this fine herb. It’s a strong Sativa that is a great morning treat if you have it with a good cup of coffee, for it will get you up and running for sure. Tasty and fragrant, it’s not hard to see why Candy Jack has been recognized with several Cannabis Cups. Go get ‘um Cowboy and love your neighbor like you love yourself. Peace, Love and Organic Food.

Candy Jack is a delightful strain that made my 4/20 weekend a blast! It had me giggling and spouting off silly remarks, while also inducing an insatiable appetite. Each puff left me daydreaming about food. Overall, it’s a fantastic strain for those looking for a fun, euphoric experience coupled with some serious munchies! “Candy Jack not only had me giggly and hungry, but it also brought a burst of energy and creativity. I found myself playing 1v1 basketball with a friend, feeling invigorated and coming up with some unexpected moves. It’s a versatile strain that adds an extra layer of fun and excitement to any activity!”

I just inhaled about half of this turkey bag of a balloon I’m using as a replacement bag for my Arizer Extreme Q. It has been about ten minutes since I first began. It’s really difficult to place a smell or taste with this one. The herby taste of the weed comes through strong and there might possibly be a fruity faint afterscent that shows up slightly. Slightly. It’s smooth. Not any coining at all so far. I’m approaching Level 1 right now. I’ve had terrible sciatica pain, as well as wisdom tooth pain for the past week and a half. I get the wisdom teeth removed tomorrow! And I’ve got some major anxiety worked up over that. So far, I feel a bit of tingling in my head and behind my eyes. It’s a good pressure that accompanies it, too. Looking forward to any time-dilation effects like I’ve experienced in Forbidden Fruit — or was it Zkittles? Anyway, still waiting. I’m starting to feel a slight heaviness come over my chest and arms now. Maybe two minutes after I wrote the last paragraph. It’s soothing and comforting. Feels like it’s trying to be an all-body internal hug. Now, my legs feel tingly when I move them from my recliner. Fun. Oh yeah, I still have to finish the rest of this bag! If it also helps, I vaporized the flower at 392°F on the lowest fan speed, F1. It feels really good to stretch my legs and back. That was lovely. My sciatic nerve is still pissed off, though. Ok. About seven minutes later, this is starting to get good. I just felt a deep plunging wave of deep relaxation wash over my chest. That was cool. Still a quarter of the first balloon left. Ok. Kind of weird but I feel slightly lighter now. And my vision has actually cleared of almost sharpened a bit. No doubt my pupils are relaxing and causing more light to enter than normal as I sit here with all the lights off and only one window uncovered with no curtains at mid-afternoon three days before Christmas, 2020. Now I feel normal again. Weird. Ok. Now I’ve got some pretty good muscle relaxation on my neck going on. Accompanied by a soothing warm feeling spreading around my chest. I thought I was starting to feel stoned for a few seconds, but no. I think I was just really remembering what it felt like. We’re approaching 30 minutes since I first inhaled. Feeling focused and still a little anxious about tomorrow, but nothing major. Feels like my baseline anxiety level, which is normal for me. Just a bit of chest tightness from that anxiety. I just felt my ankles and my feet tingle. Not sure if it’s weed, or the beginnings of deep vein thrombosis from sitting so much and so long. Going to stand up and warm up my lunch. I haven’t eaten anything at all today and it’s now 3:10 p.m. 3:39 now. And I just sat down from getting in touch with an old high school classmate, get down on the floor to play with my corgi, and then go to the fridge to finally warm up my leftover fettuccine Alfredo from last night. Starting my second balloon soon. Feeling pretty good. It’s alright. It’s light. Nothing keeping me stuck on the couch other than the nice warmth of this heating pad on my lower back. But. The microwave is beeping at me. Time to stir. Both the flower in the vaporizer bowl, as well as my noodles in the microwave. Second balloon is almost done ready to go. It’s sailing at full wind sock! Its 4:00. Feeling like I’ve finally hit Level 1. Relaxed. But focused. Feelin chill. But also feel like I could maybe do the dishes. But right now I just want to be lazy and stay right here. 4:29 p.m. it has taken two whole balloons but I am feeling like I am nearing Level 2 or at it. 4:35 p.m. more head high kicking in. Warm pressure in my chest. I don’t feel my sciatic nerve at all. I’m super chill, tingly, and all of my sinuses just got super clear for a few seconds. I could feel the involuntary muscles pulling and stretching way up my nose. That was cool. 5:15 p.m. it’s definitely a light and energized head high. No time dilation yet, but after balloon 3, the balloons are much clearer. Keep in mind my balloons are about three times as large as the ones that come with it. So I’ve inhaled the equivalent of nine balloons of vapor off of 0.2 grams of Candy Jack. That particular grind had been kept sealed in a little ziploc bag for the past six months so it’s a little dried. Time to grind one of the vacuum sealed flowers. I’m sure the effect will be very different. Four out of Five Stars. It could have been a little stronger, and that would’ve increased its score to a five. My personal top favorite Strains So Far: 1. Blue Dream. 2. Purple Punch. 3. King Louis XIII. 4. Northern Lights. 5. Candy Jack

Helps with depression, that’s for sure! This strain not only makes me giggly but also allows me to socialize. Not only socialize but HAVE FUN doing it! I will say though that this strain does give me a bit of a headache if I smoke tooooo much. I also end up forgetting a lot of stuff. So maybe not so great for the ADD/ADHD in me. But overall this strain is 👌🏼👌🏼 *chefs kiss*
