Union Jack is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid, about 60 percent indica to 40 percent sativa, developed as a descendant of the storied Jack Herer. The lineage favors a comforting body warmth while leaving room for a playful, uplifting mental state, making it appealing to hybrid enthusiasts seeking a gentle indica lean.
Effects build gradually, then descend into a heavy, total relaxation as limbs soften and the body locks in place. A numbing touch crawls through the muscles, even as the mind lifts into high-flying euphoria. Depending on dosage, the experience can tilt toward a sedative edge, which is why many reach for Union Jack in the afternoon or evening. The strain typically carries 18-20% THC with 1-3% CBD, shaping its potent but balanced profile.
On the palate, Union Jack delivers a sweet fruity tropical flavor with a lightly woody citrus exhale, while the aroma blends citrus and earth with herbal and pine notes and a sour edge. Visuals show dense minty green, spade-shaped buds dotted with deep amber hairs and a frosting of minty white trichomes. Pharmacologically it supports relief from chronic stress, inflammation, and chronic pain, and has been used for arthritis, cramps, and muscle spasms, with a comforting sense of calm accompanying the physical relief.
