The following strain review is from the Leafly Strain Database about Jack Herer: Jack Herer is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that has gained as much renown as its namesake, the marijuana activist and author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Combining a Haze hybrid with a Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk cross, Sensi Seeds created Jack Herer hoping to capture both cerebral elevation and heavy resin production. Its rich genetic background gives rise to several different variations of Jack Herer, each phenotype bearing its own unique features and effects. However, consumers typically describe this 55% Sativa hybrid as blissful, clear-headed, and creative. Jack Herer was created in the Netherlands in the mid-1990s, where it was later distributed by Dutch pharmacies as a recognized medical-grade strain.

The following strain review is from the Leafly Strain Database about Gelato: Gelato (also referred to as "Larry Bird") is another tantalizing hybrid cannabis strain from Cookie Fam Genetics, following in the footsteps of its parents Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC. This Bay Area, California native gets its name from the fruity, dessert-like aroma, a common genetic thread among the Cookie family. Her buds tend to bloom in dark purple hues illuminated by fiery orange hairs and a shining white coat of crystal resin. Novice consumers may want to approach this THC powerhouse with caution, but those armed with a high tolerance will delight in Gelato’s heavy-handed euphoria. Physical relaxation comes on strong, but many find themselves still mentally agile enough to stay productive and creative when enjoying Gelato during the day. * For a complete database...

According to the National Institute of Health in the United states, human beings have used marijuana in order to treat different ailments for more than 3000 years. Furthermore, the Food and Drug Administration of the US doesn't consider marijuana as a drug. This explains why marijuana is yet to get any approval from the FDA. In a departure from the norm, the FDA moved to approve cannabinoil, or CBD, for treatment of two types of epilepsy. That was in June last year.

However, the FDA is hesitant to approve it as a drug because since some of its side effects are not yet known. And this is what makes the marijuana debate so intriguing. On one side,...

What is Live Resin? It’s the process of extracting concentrate from the cannabis plant that was not dried nor cured. The resultant product is called live resin. The method retains the terpenes that could otherwise be lost if the cannabis plant material was dried or cured. It mostly involves the freezing of the cannabis plant before extracting the concentrate from it. The forthcoming product is of high quality and is full of flavour, thanks to the high concentration of terpenes. According to Kind Bill, the founder of Live Resin, the product is known as live resin because it smells like the living plant. 87AZ, a Reddit user, said he got some sauce in Phoenix, which was full of terpenes.
