Jack the Ripper is a sativa-leaning cannabis strain with a sweet lemon-pine, light mango, peppery exhale profile, 15-20% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of terpinolene, caryophyllene, ocimene. It is best known for creative deep-work, art studio session, the focused-creativity afternoon, with effects setting in fast, 3 minutes, racy clear-headed cerebral high. Terp Bros NYC stocks Jack the Ripper-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
Jack the Ripper is typically reported as a sativa-leaning experience: creative deep-work, art studio session, the focused-creativity afternoon. Onset is fast, 3 minutes, racy clear-headed cerebral high. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
Jack the Ripper is built on a dominant terpene stack of terpinolene, caryophyllene, ocimene, which together produce the sweet lemon-pine, light mango, peppery exhale aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Terpinolene
In Jack the Ripper specifically, terpinolene contributes cerebral, racy, classic sativa-style head energy.
Caryophyllene
In Jack the Ripper specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Ocimene
In Jack the Ripper specifically, ocimene contributes uplifting, fresh, paired with creative-energy effects.
Lineage + Genetics
Jack the Ripper traces back to Jack the Cleaner crossed with Space Queen, with a documented origin story rooted in Subcool TGA Genetics, early 2000s as a high-terpinolene fast-flowering sativa hybrid. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
terpinolene-spec customers chasing the rarest of the dominant terpenes ask for Jack the Ripper when we cannot get true Jack Herer, it scratches the same itch. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try Jack the Ripper in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is Jack the Ripper a daytime or evening strain? Daytime-leaning. Jack the Ripper's terpene profile (terpinolene + caryophyllene) reads more alert than restful. For a quieter, heavier evening profile, ask the budtender about myrcene + linalool indica options.
Does Jack the Ripper cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Jack the Ripper contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of Jack the Ripper? Jack the Ripper typically tests in the 15-20% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is Jack the Ripper safe for first-time cannabis customers? Jack the Ripper runs 15-20% THC and can feel intense for first-time customers, especially in flower or pre-roll format. We recommend first-time customers start with a 2.5mg edible or a single inhale from a vape, and work up only after seeing how the strain feels at the lower dose.
