Jack Herer gives me a waking high. It is more mellow than, say, Sour Diesel. Also somewhat less energetic. For me, Jack Herer is perfect for a wake-and-bake into a relaxed day.
While this is an indica strain, it's ability to increase "awareness" (like a sativa) is worth pointing out. Smoking too much might keep you from falling asleep, however the creative inspiration is absolutely present with Raspberry Kush.
I really like this strain. On the body side it's a feel-good relaxer. On the awareness side, it keeps me in a positive and open-minded state. There aren't many strains that have this mellow, deep, anti-depressive effect. I can see why it's recommended for PTSD.
