Why Colorado Tokers Love Purple Thai
The sativa has reportedly birthed Flo, Chemdawg 91 and Purple Haze, among others.
By Herbert Fuego
December 5, 2018

Does anyone else regret meeting their heroes? I ran into Chauncey Billups at an NBA event in Las Vegas when I was twelve, right after he won the 2004 NBA Finals. Total dick. No autograph, no hello — he just stood in front of a lobby TV, alone, ignoring the sniveling kid in a Melo jersey asking for his autograph. Michael Jordan stiffed kids, too. If you ask some of my golf-caddying friends, they’ll tell you that John Elway’s a shitty tipper. My point: Sometimes it’s best to only interact with your favorite superstars through a screen.

I’ve experienced similar disappointment with notorious cannabis strains. A trip through Europe promised my first experiences with African, Jamaican and Thai landraces — all of which looked, smelled and smoked like brick weed once I tried them. Purple Thai, either a mix of Oaxacan Gold and Chocolate Thai or a landrace, depending on the source, was even more disappointing; seeing it listed on a Denver dispensary menu brought flashbacks of brown, seedy nugs in a dim Amsterdam coffee shop. But modern American takes on such classics as Colombian Gold and Durban Poison made me optimistic enough to give Purple Thai another shot.

If Purple Thai isn’t one of the forefathers (or mothers) of modern cannabis, it’s just one generation behind. The sativa has reportedly birthed Flo, Chemdawg 91 and Purple Haze, among others. But like most building blocks of chronic, Purple Thai isn’t bred toward today’s standards of taste and potency on a mass scale. It can achieve THC levels of around 20 percent and carries a smooth, fruity smoke, but the versions I’ve come across are dull in flavor and don’t look like anything special.

I’ve only seen Purple Thai at Diego Pellicer and the Kind Room, and neither turned out to have much punch. Sadly, both were pretty flavorless (I hear it’s not the easiest strain for commercial growers and takes a long time to flower). If you can’t find Purple Thai but are chasing the high, Flo’s effects are very similar, but slightly more sedative. Good Chemistry, Medicine Man and New Amsterdam Organics all carry similar strains with heavy Thai sativa influences, too.

Looks: More of a midnight-purple than mauve, Purple Thai usually has very dark-purple oblong, loose buds. If the lights aren’t on, you might think the buds are black or dyed with food coloring. Forest-green calyxes and a general lack of trichome coverage make it one of the darker strains out there.

Smell: Purple Thai won’t blow your nostrils away; earthy, floral and chocolate notes combine for a chalky smell. Don’t get too lazy, though, because a skunky, sweet aroma slowly permeates any area once you break up those nugs.

Flavor: While it may seem a little bland compared to intense, high-terpene strains like Tangerine Power or OG Glue, Purple Thai has a creamy, nutty flavor reminiscent of dark-roasted coffee. Earthy, herbal notes come in at the end.

Effects: That reputation of pure sativa should be respected, as Purple Thai’s effects explode like a geyser in your mind. Mental stimulation, energy and appetite are unquestionably increased with each rip, but so is dry mouth and distraction. Paranoia is light, however. Purple Thai has been used to help treat eating disorders, depression, stress and intense boredom.

Home grower’s take: “This is like playing the oldies, man. The basics and quality are there, but it’s just different, because the technology and thrills are not. Tall branches, long and slender buds and a lot of hairs. It doesn’t smell bad, and the high is really strong, but it just doesn’t look that great compared to other strains. You can pull some berry flavors out, which isn’t too bad, but it’s not worth the seventy-plus days it takes to flower. Not for those lanky buds.”

Got it in a cart. Was robust, sturdy, and smooth. Like a thick creamy whiskey fresh outta the barrel. So smooth, a deep-dark brown caramel stripe across the tongue. Thumbs up.

I’ve had this strain a lot and I love it. I have trouble never being hungry and it gives me an appetite and helps gain weight. It helps my anxiety and ptsd also.

Excellent Sativa with a very unique roasted coco aroma and flavor. High THC and Sativa levels contribute to a moderate cerebral rush! Certainly a “must try” however… it may not be for everyone.

Chocolope takes me right up, with fellow smokers, we're all laughing out loud. After a couple of hours, the high slowly disappears with no hangover feeling. It's the best.

Kudos to DNA genetics! In the 80's, the model for this strain was very expensive and known as the "one hit chocolate wonder" at Dead Shows and in the Bay Area. Here is what Sativa was like when so many landrace strains were first being bred into new strains. Imagine pain and depression relief, mood uplift, and energy. This one has a creeper, so be moderate, you will be rewarded with a flavor of dark chocolate, coffee and zest!

Certainly stoney for me. Some strange contradictions.. does not seem to work for pain for me and for sativa not feeling to energetic or bouncy but spacey yes.

My dispensery has it and its always the same, dense, frosty nuggets that smell and taste like chocolate dipped melon ? really good. Nice non racey sativa and im productive with this bud during the day. Top ten sativa?❤

This was an unexpected surprise! Bought it because I was curious about the chocolaty flavor, since I’m more of an indica guy, and it turned out to be one of my all time favorites. Doesn’t hit like a normal sativa. Very trippy, fun and relaxing.

This is a great morning strain. I have trouble with my depression especially first thing in the am, so this one has been really great at easing my anxiety.

Posted  March 22, 2022, 7:43 a.m.
I was tripping on mushrooms and felt really good so thought I could handle a joint of Chocolope. Was smoking it and enjoying the joint until the high kicked in and I was tripping even harder than I was before. I thought of something that freaked me the hell out and went into a pure anxiety attack. 100% anxiety. Be careful with this weed. It's good shit and the bud looked amazing.

First time growing Jack Herer
One out of my two Jack Herer's made it. Is it typical of JH to boast such large fan leaves? This plant here was the runt of the litter but oh boy, has he shot up with a growth spurt. Any feedback on this strain would be greatly appreciated.






I just finished growing out a JH auto. Grew nice and tall and thin like a typical sativa. Produced a decent yield when it flowered. Also was about a week earlier than the advertised 9 weeks to finish. Was also low maintenance. Just wanted to be left to do it’s thing. Vapes excellent. Maintains flavor until the material is finished in my vape. Haven’t found to many strains that will do that. Yours looks good. Have fun.

A Real Review of the Jack Herer Strain from Viva Cannabis Ft. Diego Pellicer
Named after a famous American cannabis activist, Jack Herer, this Sativa dominant and Cannabis Cup Winning strain has always packed a punch when I’ve smoked it in flower form. This was my first time smoking it in oil, and I think Viva Cannabis came kind of close to capturing the magical essence of the Jack Herer strain. A cross of a Haze, Northern Lights #5, and Shiva Skunk, although this is just speculation as the true genetics are closely guarded, but every website I checked consistently listed these three strains with different fourth strains.



This oil was especially hard to work with, even after throwing it in the freezer for a bit to loosen it off the parchment paper that it was attached to. The smoke was smooth and didn’t taste bad, but it didn’t taste great either. When I bought this oil, I wasn’t in a position to splurge, but I also reminded myself that even though it was a less expensive oil it could still pack quite the punch.

This oil was alright. I found myself able to focus while jamming out to some reggae as I cooked my dinner. I should have smoked this earlier in the day so I might have had an even more productive afternoon. My mood was elevated and I found myself easily distracted, but able to focus on whatever I was doing. I played a ton of uplifting music, which amplified the euphoria from the oil.

If you’re tight on cash and need some oil I would definitely head to Diego Pellicer in Seattle and pick up some Jack Herer from Viva Cannabis. The packaging was extremely confusing, the label matched the Wildfire Cannabis pictures that I was able to track down on Instagram, but when I checked the Diego Pellicer website it said it was from Viva Cannabis, which is also listed on the label.

If you love uplifting strains, you’ve got to meet our friend Jack! Jack Herer is a classic sativa strain that many cannabis consumers swear by. Where did this strain come from, why is it so beloved, and what can you expect from it? Let’s break it down in this Jack Herer strain review.

Jack Herer Strain: The Classic You Need To Try
Jack Herer is perhaps one of the most famous sativa strains in the world. The strain was originally bred by Netherlands-based Sensi Seeds in the early 1990s and named for cannabis advocate Jack Herer, whose book Sensi had sponsored nearly a decade prior.

There are many forms of Jack Herer on the market today, but the original lineage lines with Sensi, who crossed three strains: Skunk #1, Northern Lights #5, and Haze. Most versions of Jack Herer sold today are child strains of the original lineage, but some brands have created their own version of Jack Herer using a different combination of parent strains.

To know which version of Jack Herer you’re consuming, you can check the label for parent strains or go to the breeder’s website for more information.



Who was Jack Herer?
Jack Herer was a cannabis rights activist and an author who wrote the famous pro-cannabis book The Emperor Wears No Clothes. The book, published in 1985, detailed the numerous uses of cannabis and hemp, both medicinally and industrially.

Herer self-published the book which sold over 800,000 copies worldwide. In it, he claimed that not only can “marijuana save the world”, but that the U.S. government knew the uses and benefits of cannabis and was actively keeping them away from the population.

Sensi Seeds, the original breeder of the strain named after Jack Herer, was a sponsor of the book and one of four businesses that offered $100,000 to anyone who could disprove the book’s claims.

Flavor And Aroma Profile
Jack Herer has a distinct aroma that lovers of this strain come to recognize instantly. It is pine-forward and woody, like the forest after rainfall. There are strong notes of spice and pepper with rich earthiness buried beneath and a distinct note of sour citrus.

The flavor loses some of the pepper spice and instead centers the sour citrus and pine, with noticeable notes of earthiness on the exhale. 

Effects: What You Can Expect From Jack Herer
While Jack Herer has beautiful nugs and an enticing smell, it is the effects that make this strain so beloved by cannabis consumers today.

The High
The strain Jack Herer gained notoriety for intensely uplifting effects, delivering a jolt of energy to the brain. It is euphoric and motivating, centering the experience behind your eyes and giving your mind free rein to get creative and get going.

At the right dosages, you won’t lose the ability to focus but rather it will become almost effortless to do so, with a calm state of centeredness. Many people also experience a low-level body buzz, akin to a shot of expresso.

Ideal For
Jack Herer is often used as a wake-and-bake strain, delivering similar effects to a strong cup of coffee. It can help you find motivation to get your day started, make some (serious) progress on your to-do list, or get utterly lost in your latest creative project.

It’s important to mind the dosage of Jack Herer, particularly if you’re enjoying it in the morning. Low doses and small hits are associated with better results while higher doses may turn the experience from focused to scattered, depending on your THC tolerance.



THC Content and Potency
While the original lineage of Jack Herer often tested under 20%, today’s strains are usually more potent—sometimes reaching as high as 25% to 28% THC content. Consume accordingly!

The potency combined with the extremely uplifting effects of Jack Herer means it can easily be overdone, taking you from calm and focused to a brain so filled with ideas you don’t know where to start. Start with a low dose and go slow when trying Jack Herer from new cultivators.

How To Enjoy Jack Herer
Jack Herer is an uplifting and energizing strain, making it best suited for use in the first half of your day (consuming it too close to bedtime may actually keep you awake!)

Many people enjoy consuming Jack Herer in the morning as a wake-and-bake strain, or at mid-day for a little pick-me-up. Packing a bowl or a bong, or enjoying a half-gram joint of Jack Herer can deliver a cannabinoid boost, without making you feel untethered and unable to get on with your day.

This strain is both potent and energizing, so start with a few puffs or a small bowl to understand how the strain affects you, before diving into your latest project.

Limonene – Known for its bright citrus notes, limonene enhances Jack Herer’s stress relief and mood-boosting properties.
Caryophyllene – Adding a peppery spice to the aroma, caryophyllene may offer anti-inflammatory benefits that further enhance the strain’s relaxing effects.
Myrcene – Myrcene contributes subtle earthy undertones to the flavor while promoting the calming and soothing aspects of the strain.
Together, these terpenes create a balanced sensory experience, complementing Jack Herer’s effects and making it a well-rounded strain for any occasion.

Met Jack once on 4/20 and smoked with him. He used to say his name rhymes with terror. Poor guy had to spend his life correcting everyone.

As for the strain, it’s one of the best sativas of all time.

But my current fav is Dark Rainbow
