About J1
J1 is a sativa-dominant cross of Jack Herer and Skunk #1. It became popular in Dutch coffeeshops and later made its way into legal markets in both the United States and Canada, where it is known as a reliable daytime strain with classic genetics.
The aroma is bright and citrusy with sharp pine and a light earthy, skunky backdrop. Buds are medium-sized and slightly elongated, light green with orange pistils and a good layer of trichomes. Terpinolene usually gives the fresh, zesty lift, pinene sharpens the pine notes, and myrcene adds an earthy, grounding base.
People commonly describe J1 as energetic, creative and focused. The experience is often reported as clear and motivating, so many choose it for daytime tasks, errands and creative work. THC usually ranges from 16% to 22%, and CBD is typically under 1%.
J1 suits people who want an active sativa that still feels manageable. Sativas can feel stimulating in larger amounts. Start low, go slow, and see how it fits your day. Use WhereLeaf to find J1 at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
