Jean-Guy Strain Review (7Acres)
For this cannabis strain review, I tried out some Jean-Guy made by 7Acres, which is actually the first product from this company that I’m reviewing. I’ve also reviewed the Jean-Guy strain by Good Supply as well.
I'm based in Quebec, Canada, where this cultivar has always been very popular. It's a local legend, and the story ties it to a Montreal compassion club.
It's sold as a hybrid, and producers label it differently. This batch was labeled high in THC with very little CBD; exact numbers vary by batch.
So when it comes to lineage, local legend says a grower brought in clones thought to be White Widow, but the plants came out differently, and the staff named them Jean-Guy. We could not confirm this on an official breeder page.
For the terpene profile, this batch listed myrcene as dominant, plus terpinolene, pinene, caryophyllene, and limonene. Profiles vary by grower and batch.
Packaging Details: This was packaged on 10/13/2019, and tested/reviewed on 03/15/2020, exactly 154 days after being packaged. Lot# JG01P-0024-C1
Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $30.40 at the SQDC in Montreal, Quebec, Canada ($8.69/gram) at the time of review.
Appearance: 3.5/5
7Acres did a solid job with the look of this Jean-Guy. There were five decent-sized nugs plus a few popcorn nugs, with no leaves or visible stems, and all were dense.
There was no humidity pouch. The moisture was just OK: not powder-dry, but the buds broke apart if squeezed.
The colors matched other Jean-Guy I've had. The lime green buds had a shine from dense trichomes and a few dark orange pistils.
No leaves, no stems, no seeds, no complaints.
Aroma: 3/5
A fresh, woody and earthy smell comes out of a newly opened container. It reminds me of springtime in Montreal.
There are pungent citrus scents too. Overall, it's a pleasant smell, close to the Jean-Guy I remember.
Flavor: 3/5
The flavor was pleasant, with pine and lemon on the inhale and some kushy notes after. The exhale was subtler and earthier.
The smoke was not the smoothest. There was a lot of coughing and some throat harshness.
Effects: 3/5
In my experience, Jean-Guy usually hits hard, and this one did too. The high was aggressive and cerebral, with a heavy-head feeling and a slightly uneasy, tired buzz.
My energy dropped, and after about an hour I wanted a nap. I prefer a functional high, so this scored lower for me.
Overall: 3/5
Writing this review feels like talking about an old buddy. This was my first legal Jean-Guy, and it felt familiar.
If you're a beginner, this may hit too hard. NIDA notes that strong products and little experience make anxiety or panic more likely. For a milder high, try the Dancehall Strain by Spinach and Shark Shock Strain.
If you're an experienced consumer who likes a heavy high, this Jean-Guy is worth a try.
