Jack the Ripper

The Jack the Ripper strain is widely respected among cannabis enthusiasts as the flagship Hybrid of legendary cannabis growers Subcool’s the Dank. Many characterize Jack the Ripper as one of the quickest-acting Lemon Haze strains available on the current market. The Jack in JTR’s name comes from being a cross of a Jack’s Cleaner clone. Subcool crossed this clone with a male variant of the Space Queen strain, the comically named Space Dude. The Jack the Ripper Sativa strain has become remarkably famous and is found in most West Coast medical and recreational cannabis dispensaries.

Appearance & Aroma

A mature JTR plant provides distinctive triangle-shaped flowers that are covered heavily in sticky crystal trichomes. When entirely grown, the plant typically reaches around 65 inches in height. Aside from its name, the aroma is relatively unique and unforgettable. A rich lemony zest coupled with spice and pine traces gives this strain a wonderfully fragrant aroma. When smoking Jack the Ripper, its flavour profile is instantly recognizable. Upon inhaling, it has an exceptionally smooth and tangy taste. When exhaling, a sweet lemony aftertaste lingers and is complemented beautifully with earth and fresh pine notes.

Effects & Benefits

Jack the Ripper is an excellent wake-and-bake choice due to the rapid onset of energizing and uplifting effects. However, beginners should tread carefully and be mindful not to over-consume this relatively potent strain.

Some may find that JTR’s cerebral influences can enhance creativity and lead to more abstract thinking. Hence, artistic types searching for a bit of inspiration may find this strain helpful in getting their creative juices running. While the Jack the Ripper Sativa bud is usually utilized for recreational purposes, it is widely considered a top-quality therapeutic cannabis strain. The uplifting and mood-enhancing effects make it a solid choice for those looking to manage depression, PTSD and chronic stress.
