Method: Flower/glass pipe Look: (top shelf) fairly even distribution of red hairs, lots of trichomes with a dark creamy green color. Smell: very pungent (this became the deciding factor when it came down to selecting between J-1 and blue dream) a cross between citrus and woodsy/earthy Flavor: smooth mouthfeel with the smoke, tiny note of peppermint, with a pine-sol cleaner aftertaste... very nice not bad at all. High: bought 6 grams worth and I’m almost finished with it, so I figured I’ve smoked enough now to write a review on it. J-1 left me with a very nice (but also very foggy) head high. My review of three stars is due to how this strain is put out there. It is touted as a sativa dominant hybrid. This was not the case, at least in my experience. It’s one of the few strains that has had adverse effects, it made me very dizzy and gave me some pretty bad anxiety which some strains of sativas get a bad rep for sometimes but this strain also put me in body lock mode. And sometimes sleepy. (Which I don’t mind but I’d rather get an indica for that and don’t want that from a strain that is supposed to be sativa like). It does act a little like a sativa when it comes to creativity, but I would say it doesn’t make for the best productive strain. If it’s to be approached like a sativa then I would approach it like a weekend sativa. Foggy head high, creative, but does not make me productive, no giggles either. Overall this strain left me confused, it’s effects weren’t the most consistent, (imo) you can label it hybrid, indica, or sativa and I couldn’t tell you if you were wrong, it’s almost like it goes through phases of each. It’s not a bad strain if it’s profile fits what you want... But for me it didn’t jive too well, and that’s too bad because this comes from a lineage of two really good strains, one of which is my favorite of all. (So far). Also: j-1 caked up my bowl with LOTS of resin very quick.

I didn’t know much about this strain, I went into a dispensary in my old neighborhood where I grew up. I went in looking for jack Herer but they didn’t have it. They showed me three different sativas and the smell of candyland was very nice but their flower looked a little less trichomy than the pictures and a little too dry. I started to feel a bit ripped off, but I figured I’ll still give it a shot. Holy crap I was not ready, it might be fair to say this is a little more on the hybrid side despite it being a Sativa dominant. It hit me almost immediately and I was very quickly uplifted and relaxed, such a wonderful strain! I was like being on a mini vacation. I want to get some more but from a shop that has better quality flower.
