JR Strain

Updated: Oct 28

Some strains have a clear history–meaning, you would know exactly where they come from or at least what they are made of by simply browsing through Google for answers.

Information about JR:

However, some strains leave both their loyal and potential users baffled about their origin. That being said, there are those strains out there with a backstory that remains to be unverified.

Now, the question is: Would you try something that holds such mystery?

Most often than not, anything mysterious naturally encourages curiosity. Therefore, the answer to that question will most likely be a YES. So, if you are up for the challenge, here is one strain you should learn about.

Jager Meister, otherwise known as JR or Jgr to a large part of the cannabis community, is one strain with a mysterious origin.

The most common theory about its history involves two parent strains: the LA Confidential and another hybrid called Blue Dream. However, other self-proclaimed experts would argue that the strain’s origin could also be traced back to the Hindu Kush genealogy.

Both theories are supported by the obvious characteristics of the JR strain such as its aroma, effects and appearance. Apparently, these can all be attributed to the other strains mentioned above.

Either way, there is one thing about this strain that everyone can agree on. It is the fact that the JR strain is named after a dark alcoholic beverage from Germany and that it is definitely living up to that title.

Effects

With a THC level of 17% to 23%, JR is undeniably a highly potent strain. Little may be known about its genetics, but the reality is that people are actually more interested in what a strain can offer than where it came from. That being said, the strength of JR can definitely overshadow its questionable origin–in a good way, of course.

With an 80% Indica content, users should expect an intense physical high that can be described as relaxing rather than sedating.
