# Jack Herer
Jack Herer is a classic Haze-influenced cultivar named after the cannabis author and activist. It became a flagship of 1990s Dutch breeding fame and remains a reference hybrid for pine-spice-citrus aromatics with Haze character. Cultural name recognition is unusually strong for a seed-catalog plant, which is why remakes proliferated.
A commonly published model associated with Sensi Seeds storytelling describes Haze crossed into a Northern Lights #5 × Shiva Skunk background. That teaching recipe ties Haze, Northern Lights, and Skunk-family history together. Records conflict among later Jack remakes and clone-only selections that reuse the name. Prefer breeder-specific notes when available; otherwise keep deeper links careful.
Why it mattered: Jack Herer tied activist cultural history to a concrete seed-catalog plant and kept Haze Skunk × Northern Lights vocabulary in circulation for decades of catalog photography and retail menus. Live related pages include [Haze](/strain/haze), [Northern Lights](/strain/northern-lights), [Skunk #1](/strain/skunk-1), [Super Lemon Haze](/strain/super-lemon-haze), and [Amnesia Haze](/strain/amnesia-haze).
Jack is multi-line by design; it is not a Cookies or Glue child. Readers should not assume every pine-citrus jar labeled Jack matches the classic model. Unknown parents remain correct for undocumented remakes. Terpene names often discussed include [Terpinolene](/terpene/Terpinolene), [Pinene](/terpene/Pinene), [Caryophyllene](/terpene/Caryophyllene), [Myrcene](/terpene/Myrcene), and [Limonene](/terpene/Limonene). Educational only.
Love The Plant keeps this entry educational: origin notes, published parent models, why the line mattered historically, linked relatives on the live strain list, and terpene names for aroma literacy. No medical claims, no invented lab percentages, and no forced pedigree where sources disagree—Unknown remains a valid and preferred label.
