Marijuana Strain Review Rating for Black Jack: 4 of 5 Stars
Black Jack: Look & Feel
The Black Jack marijuana strain is richly colored with different shades of healthy green. There are a few orange, brown and even some yellow hairs here and there, but overall this strain is pretty green.
Black Jack buds are partly dense and partly brittle; the buds are inconsistent in that one end may be nicely formed but then taper down to a weak section. Despite this the buds are stickier than most that I’ve found in Barcelona.
Black Jack: Taste & Smell
Black Jack has a remarkable aroma with clear notes of lavender, lemon and sage. While most high-grade cannabis strains invariably possess a high note of ammonia, Black Jack’s high note is something similar to Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile soap.
Weirdly enough, the fragrant nature of Black Jack does not translate to a similar taste or flavor. In fact, this pot strain is shockingly tasteless. It does leave a bit of a stale aftertaste in your mouth, but this is more of a sensation than a flavor.
Black Jack produces very thick white smoke without resulting in a massive coughing fit. The concentration of this smoke is reduced as the outer layers of it burn off, which tells me that the strain might have been dried out a little too soon.
Black Jack: Potency
After 2 hits from a clean bong I didn’t notice much of a high. On my initial review of any particular marijuana strain I always pause for 3-5 minutes after 2 hits to see if that dosage is sufficient and to take notice of where in my body the high begins. Normally even weak strains produce at least some minor or early stage high, but by 2 hits I felt nothing.
At the third hit I began to feel a mild high on the very top of my head, and there was a distinct sensation that my energy levels had increased. By 4 hits I was happily high, with all of it situated above the neck. I felt exceptionally energetic and was able to crank out a ton of work while on this strain, and ran 5-6 miles a couple of times over the few days that I smoked it. I felt great!
Black Jack: Duration
Black Jack isn’t as potent as strains like Yumboldt, Amnesia or NYC Diesel, but it does have a consistent high, which may be more valuable to some people than a powerful one. Experienced smokers can expect to easily get 2 hours out of Black Jack, and the high will remain consistent after the initial peaking period that lasts for about 5-8 minutes.
Exercise doesn’t seem to reduce the high by much, but eating will quickly degrade it; especially icy cold foods or beverages.
Conclusion
Black Jack provides a sufficient and notably energetic high, presumably because of its high concentration of Sativa. This is an excellent strain for people who seek an active high that allows them to function at full capacity. Unfortunately, the Sativa content reduces the potency of the type of high that I prefer, so my overall rating for this strain is 4 stars. I’d be very interested in trying this strain at 65/35 Indica/Sativa because I think that just might be the ultimate combination for a high that kicks your ass while still allowing you to kick ass.

It’s been pretty warm lately, despite the fact it’s fall. I’ve take some time off to enjoy the warmth while it’s still here (among other things), so it seems fitting to jam in one last “sunny day” strain, before all the leaves fall. This week we bring you Black Jack by Sweet As!.
I picked up an eighth for $40 from American Mary in Wallingford (look for the ominous green doors). The budtender I spoke with recommended this strain and he definitely steered me in the right direction.

Black Jack Marijuana Strain Review Jack Herer
Strain: Black Jack
Species: Hybrid (Sativa Dominant)
Date Harvested:
Smell: Mango + Pepper/Spices
Taste: Sweet + Earthy
Launch Point: Almost immediate
High: Euphoria + Good Vibes + Sunny Day
Bred from Black Domina x Jack Herer, Black Jack is often used in the medical community because of it’s high THC levels. This strain melts away stress, anxiety – but at the same time encourages getting out from beyond your couch. Makes you more relaxed, give you energy; the perfect combo.
The bud was thick and crusted with kief. After a spell in the grinder, Black Jack burned smooth out of a pipe. It’s always nice to get a giant nug, “yes the giant weed flower is my co-pilot” (it’s big enough to be a person is what I’m tediously getting at).
Sniffing the bud, there was a definite fruity-mango scent accompanied with notes of pepper and spice. The flavor was earthy, and sweet. I was not expecting such a tropical vibe from the strain.
Getting high with Black Jack is euphoric and engrossing. It’s easy to get lost in your thoughts, or the view in front of you. This strain demands your attention, but in a way that is welcoming – not an abrasive high by any means.
My favorite thing to do with this strain just get out and walk. Breath in some fresh air, and find something or somewhere new. Black Jack is a special strain, and it can lead you towards adventure. Sedation is minimal, it’s easy to keep forging ahead even after the high fades.
Sweet As products are available at American Mary (Wallingford), among other pot shops in the Seattle area.
