Flow Kana-Jack Herer
This week I gave the strain Jack Herer by Northern California’s Flow Kana a try. This strain is supposed to be the result of Northern Lights and Shiva Skunk and honestly I’m not a fan of it. Perhaps it’s just me, but this strain just doesn’t do it for me, especially taste wise. To be frank, I tend to lean more towards sweeter strains that aren’t so harsh tasting for me. It tasted like gasoline to me and then later tasted almost like some weird kind of fruity flavor. I couldn’t quite place what exactly the taste was, but it reminded me of the way some exotic fruits taste. It was really complex and confusing. There are some exotic fruits that have more than one flavor or scent to them which can be a good thing or can come off as a bit overwhelming. It sort of reminded me of grapes, but then also like minty and peppery after a little while.
I felt clear minded after the first hit or so, but then got cotton mouth shortly after and eventually got a little confused cause my brain fog was starting to kick in, so I just ended up blanking out for a little bit. I just didn’t feel as focused or clear minded like I had in the beginning. I did feel really relaxed though. When I started to come down from this strain, I felt hungry and a little anxious and had this menthol sensation in the back of my throat, so every time I took a drink of water I would feel a cool sensation which I honestly don’t mind, but it just didn’t help with the cotton mouth situation at all. There was an almost very subtle floral sense to it as well which was a bit odd for me. If you can get passed all that, then this strain might be something to consider giving a try because while it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea, it did make me feel relaxed and clear minded for a brief moment. I should also mention that I did feel a bit of creativity while I was on this strain. My boyfriend, Jeckyl, likes to 3D print various things and was showing me something he was working on and I was able to figure out what colors would complement what he was working fairly really quick, so that made me really happy.
Creativity wise this is a good strain, but I don’t think I’ll be getting this strain again after it’s gone. I did really like the packaging of this product. The herb was inside a very beautiful mocha colored container with gold lettering across it which looked very gorgeous and had this vintage feel about it. I just didn’t like the strain though.
