What Is the XJ-13 Strain?

XJ-13 came into existence by crossing G13 Haze with Jack Herer, resulting in a sativa-dominant hybrid strain. The XJ-13 strain is a great example of a perfectly balanced hybrid with a 50/50 split between indica and sativa.

XJ-13 is a great choice for anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxed yet creative day. Even just a few puffs of XJ-13 is enough to leave your brain racing with creative and motivated thoughts that you just cannot wait to put into action.

The effects of XJ-13 are almost instant, lifting your mood and flooding your body with a sudden burst of energy. The quick rush of effects causes a strong body buzz and a strong feeling of motivation.

To really make the most out of XJ-13, it is best to start with a few puffs during the morning. The fast-acting effects allow you to start your day with a burst of motivation and energy, so whether you have a creative day planned or a long list of chores to work through, you are ready to go.

As the effects of XJ-13 start to wear off, you are left with a sense of calm and a feeling of physical relaxation. After a long day of motivation and productivity, the mellow end to the high is deeply rewarding. These indica-driven effects are perfect for helping you to transition into the evening.

When smoking XJ-13 in social situations, the effects you feel can be very different. Rather than feeling motivated and determined to achieve goals, you are instead left feeling extremely social and euphoric.
