For anybody who isin't familiar with the man this strain is named after here's a little bit of background from wikipedia. I've heard many great things about his book 'the emperor wears no clothes' but have yet read it personally. Jack Herer from my understanding is a true 'OG' and the impact he's had on the cannabis scene will forever be timelessly remembered through this beautiful strain of cannabis. He's one of the first (to my knowledge) to have his name attributed to a cannabis strain. Despite the fact this might be a popular tactic or avenue for celebrity cannabis users today. I believe it speaks volumes about how far ahead of the curve he was in understanding the possibilities within breeding cannabis, but also the whole trademarking ,marketing and protecting his work and rights to both his strain and name is truly impressive in my opinion. Being immortalized with a cannabis strain bearing your name for eternity seems far more exciting to me ,than having a chart topping album, or being a professional athlete with my face plastered on a box of weedies. That's just me though....

Jack Herer (/ˈhɛrər/; June 18, 1939 – April 15, 2010), sometimes called the "Emperor of Hemp", was an American cannabis rights activist and the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, a book—in 2016 in its twelfth edition after having been continuously in print for 31 years—frequently cited in efforts to decriminalize and legalize cannabis and to expand the use of hemp for industrial use. Herer also founded and served as the director of the organization Help End Marijuana Prohibition (HEMP).[1] The Jack Herer Cup is held in Las Vegas each year to honor Jack Herer.[2]
