Critical Jack, also known as "Critical Jack Herer," is a hybrid marijuana strain cross between Critical Plus and Jack Herer. Critical Jack delivers functional cerebral effects with a flavorful blend of lemon, pine, and floral aromas. Its effects are light on the body and stimulating to the mind, allowing one to fixate their attention strongly on whatever task is at hand. Uplifting qualities make Critical Jack a popular daytime remedy for depression, appetite loss, and headaches. Critical Jack’s harvest falls between late September and early October outdoors, while indoor gardens will finish around day 60 of flowering.

All time favourite strain! Never been able to get it again. It came and went fast, but the effects were 10 out of 10. EXACTLY what I was looking for, and found it by pure chance. I used a pipe to smoke it and the effects didn't come on too hard, they arrived gently and I felt my eyes getting a little heavy and my mood went from racing thoughts, to chill very quickly. The high wasn't too much, it was just right and I was happy watching some Blue Planet with this easy buzz in the background. When it came to bed time I vaped a little and it sent me off with some creative thoughts. Pure poetry. If I can't find it again I'll have to grow it.

This strain makes me near silent. I find it hard to be social with this one as it makes your mind wander a lot and it’s hard to focus on people. Doesn’t really make me energetic which was the reason I got it, but it also doesn’t make me sleepy so take that as you will

Purchased an eighth of Critical Jack flower from Strane in Mass. For all that it lacks in the looks, smell and taste department it makes up for in the buzz department. Small "popcorn" buds, very light green with light orange hairs, more fluffy than dense. Has a mildew/mold smell which I also noticed in Strane's Mendo Breath, not off putting at all but it almost has that dried in an old basement vibe.. Very uplifting buzz at first that slowly transitions to calm/relaxation. Overall, if your looking for something to wow you with looks, taste and smell this is not it. But if you are looking for a well priced strain that gets the job done as far as buzz, this is a great choice.

I needed to trimm some monster, so I vaped nice CJ nug and after two hours, two big jars were stuffed up and i fetl great. Its like hit of great coffee. Its not some shikanzen, take its time but after awhile, you can feel big dosage of energy, some warm in your head but not any hazy mind. Also concentration is better and in some nice discussion, you have good thoughts, bright arguments and you can follow the line. Really nice daystrain and workingstrain. If you want to fullfill some long prostponed tasks, go for it. For some reason, in some edges, i sometimes felt a light hint of paranoia, but you can deal with it. Smell is great, taste is weak and not very good. Dont smoke it too late, because you end up in bed with lightbulb insted of eyes. This strain pays some extended ride. Next morning is little bit slow and disoriented, but not in nasty way.

Tried Vireo Health strain for medical use. 4-5 hits and I’m a seasoned smoker and was quite impressed how it made me feel incredibly stoned. Like aware and not aware at the same time. Watched an old movie and felt great, uplifted and high af. Strongly recommend this strain!!

Tried the critical jack from Vireo. I’m a medical user for multiple conditions. This helped with fatigue and gave my focus and energy. It’s a strong hit and only needed about 4-6 hits. It’s also a hard hit compared to other strains. Love it!

Liberty Somerville Critical Jack Wax -Super terpy consistency that makes for delicious vapor! Tastes like sweet & spicy pine, with highly stimulating effects indicative of its Jack Herer parent. Had this strain from Lib in multiple forms & think it’s the best Herer cross in Boston!

This strain is fantastic for my social anxiety. Everytime I would have a cone of this stuff I just wanted to be an absolute extrovert with whoever I talked to at the time. CJ is just one of those strains that is great if you dont want to take mediation for anxiety. But I do warn this particular strain can be a bit too good that you can form an unhealthy dependency on it. CJ is also a great strain for those who struggle with a lack of sex drive and need a bit of help to calm their minds to feel aroused. I also found that it's great to have while gaming too. A definite 5 stars
