This review if for anyone who has never used weed before or has had not-so-great effects that maybe threw them off ever trying again. A novice review, if you will. I was of the second category (and really, before trying Jack Herer, I was the first category, too!). I had some edibles that I thought would kill me and had me crawling on my hands and knees to get into bed because I was so dizzy! (back before they got a lot better, so I've heard). I've tried other's buds and told it wouldn't knock me out, and I found myself couch locked, anxiety ridden and/or asleep. NO BUENO. After about four years, I finally decided to try one more time and hit a local shop. I explained AGAIN that I wanted something for depression, pain and something I could WORK on - not pass out. I was skeptical, but the budtender told me I couldn't go wrong with Jack. And oh how right she was! It's absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! I have taken two big hits right after waking up for the past four days (I work evenings mostly, so I knew I had some time if things went horribly wrong), and the change in my mood is something I can hardly describe! I have racing, obsessive and worrisome thought processes, and it's something no anxiety medication has ever really tackled. I get full-blown panic attacks obsessing about money (or the lack thereof) or my job or whatever it might be. Then there's the depression. This stuff is like MAGIC! It's just enough of a body effect to feel calm and relaxed without feeling tired. My head feels like it weighs 20 lbs less, and though I can still try to come up with solutions to my problems, it's PRODUCTIVE problem solving - not obsessing or worrying about what might happen. So I'm actually getting shit DONE! I have major abdominal pain from five gyn surgeries and chronic kidney stones. While I can't say it rids me of pain, it does help dull it. I was told by the budtender that no strain is really great for severe abdominal pain, so I can't judge JH on that. I am excited to see if it helps when I get a migraine! Or maybe with less stress and worrying, I won't even get them anymore. We'll see! Also, I am a cigarette smoker (I know, I KNOW!), and even with that, most strains have been SO HARSH on the lungs - I cough like a damned fool! The Jack Herer; however? Smooth, easy and not even a throat tickle. And the smell is amazing! I have never been a fan of weed smell = SKUNKY! But this stuff has none of that, if that's even a consideration to you. This stuff is magical - Jack Herer, you left this earth a helluva lot better than you found it! THANK YOU!
