Presidential - XJ-13 - Moon Rock Blunt - 1.5g
Presidential x THC Design – XJ-13 – Moon Rock Blunt – 1.5g
The strain that built an empire, now in a 1.5g tobacco-free blunt. Presidential partners with THC Design for this XJ-13 Moon Rock Blunt — the signature cultivar that launched THC Design from a small operation into one of California's most celebrated cannabis companies. This sativa-dominant hybrid delivers soaring cerebral energy, bright citrus flavor, and the kind of clear-headed productivity that's earned XJ-13 multiple High Times Cannabis Cup wins and a devoted following.
The Collaboration
This Moon Rock Blunt represents a partnership between two California cannabis leaders. Presidential — pioneers of the infused product market since 2012 and creators of "The World's Strongest Prerolls" — teams up with THC Design, Los Angeles's premier employee-owned cultivator.
XJ-13 holds special significance for THC Design. In 2009, their founders acquired an XJ-13 clone from Oaksterdam University after fleeing a police raid in Oklahoma. Their first harvest in January 2010 impressed dispensary buyers so much that Oaksterdam and Harborside became exclusive partners, launching THC Design's rise to prominence. This is the strain that started it all — now elevated to Moon Rock intensity.
Genetics & Lineage
XJ-13 is a sativa-dominant hybrid that crosses two legendary strains:
- Jack Herer — the iconic sativa named after the cannabis activist, contributing cerebral energy, pine notes, and creative stimulation
- G13 Haze — a mysterious, resin-heavy strain rumored to have government origins, adding hazy euphoria and complex terpenes
This genetic combination creates one of the most productivity-focused strains in cannabis. The Jack Herer lineage delivers that signature sativa uplift and mental clarity, while G13 Haze adds depth and staying power. XJ-13 is engineered for getting things done.
The Blunt Format
Presidential's Moon Rock Blunts deliver an elevated experience:
- 1.5g of infused flower — 50% more product than standard 1g joints
- 100% tobacco-free wrap — smooth, slow burn without harsh tobacco
- Chlorine-free filter — cleaner hits, no chemical taste
- Thicker wrap = slower burn — extended sessions, more flavor per puff
- THC Design estate-grown flower — the original XJ-13 genetics they've cultivated since 2010
- Perfect for sharing or extended creative sessions
Flavor & Aroma
XJ-13's terpene profile is bright and invigorating. The nose opens with zesty citrus — lemon, lime, and tangerine dancing together — layered over a pine-forward foundation from the Jack Herer genetics. Subtle earthy and spicy notes add depth beneath the dominant brightness.
Light the blunt and the flavor delivers wave after wave of citrus: tangy lemon-lime on the inhale, sweet orange mid-smoke, finishing with earthy pine and a touch of clove spice. The slow-burning blunt format extends this energizing flavor journey. THC Design's 15+ years of cultivating XJ-13 means they've perfected the terpene expression — this is the definitive version of the strain.
Dominant Terpene: Terpinolene (7.41mg/g — unusually high, contributing to the energizing, uplifting effects) Supporting Terpenes: Caryophyllene (spicy), Humulene (earthy), Myrcene (herbal), Pinene (pine)
Effects
XJ-13 delivers soaring, cerebral energy — this is a productivity powerhouse. Effects arrive within minutes: an uplifting head rush that clears mental fog and sparks creativity. Focus sharpens, motivation flows, and ideas come easily. You'll feel alert, engaged, and ready to tackle projects.
Unlike some sativas that can cause anxiety or racing thoughts, XJ-13's high terpinolene content creates a smooth, clear-headed experience. The energy is focused rather than scattered, productive rather than jittery. A gentle body relaxation prevents any uncomfortable tension without dulling the mental effects.
At Moon Rock potency in a 1.5g blunt, expect 2-4+ hours of functional, creative energy. This is daytime cannabis at its finest — perfect for morning sessions that fuel your entire day.
Potency Warning: Moon Rocks test significantly higher than standard flower. XJ-13's base flower tests at 28.09% THC (30.06% total cannabinoids) before infusion. Start with a few puffs and wait 15-20 minutes. The sativa effects are manageable but the potency is extreme.

Cultivation
THC Design brings unmatched expertise to XJ-13 — they've been cultivating this exact genetic line since 2010. As an employee-owned company, they're invested in every harvest. Their cultivation practices include:
- Estate-grown, single-source flower — the original XJ-13 genetics from Oaksterdam
- Oregon Tilth organic standards — stricter than federal OMRI requirements
- Slow-dried 10-14 days — preserves the exceptional terpinolene content
- Hand-trimmed — attention to detail on every bud
- 100+ cultivar genetic library — but XJ-13 remains their signature
This premium flower is then infused using Presidential's proprietary process that saturates all the way to the stem, coated in high-quality kief, and hand-rolled in tobacco-free blunt paper.
Dosing
This is an extremely potent product.
For newcomers to Moon Rocks: Take 2-3 puffs, then wait 15-20 minutes. XJ-13's sativa effects are more forgiving than heavy indicas, but the potency is still extreme. The blunt can be extinguished and re-lit across multiple sessions.
For experienced users: The 1.5g format delivers a substantial dose of pure sativa energy. Pace yourself — the cerebral effects are intense and long-lasting.
Best enjoyed in the morning or early afternoon when you want to harness the productive energy. Avoid evening use unless you're planning a late night.
Storage
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep in the original tube or an airtight container to preserve the kief coating and exceptional terpinolene content. XJ-13's energizing terpene profile is worth protecting. Avoid humidity, which can affect the blunt wrap.
