Presidential x THC Design – XJ-13 – Moon Rock Pre-Roll – 1g

The strain that built an empire — now supercharged to Moon Rock potency. Presidential x THC Design's XJ-13 Moon Rock Pre-Roll showcases THC Design's signature cultivar — the award-winning sativa that launched their entire company. Expect soaring cerebral euphoria, citrus-pine flavor, and daytime productivity without the raciness, all amplified to extreme potency.

Genetics & Lineage

XJ-13 is a sativa-dominant hybrid created by crossing two cannabis legends: Jack Herer and G13 Haze. Jack Herer — named after the legendary cannabis activist — brings uplifting cerebral effects, earthy-pine flavor, and creative energy. G13 Haze, rumored to have originated from a government research facility, contributes powerful euphoria and sweet citrus notes. The name "XJ-13" pays tribute to its origins: the "X" represents the crossbreeding, while "J-13" honors the G13 Haze parentage. This strain won Bronze for Best Sativa at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup and Silver for Best Concentrate in 2014 — but for THC Design, it represents something even more significant: it's the cultivar that started everything.

The THC Design Story

XJ-13 isn't just any strain in THC Design's catalog — it's the foundation of their entire company. After a police raid in Oklahoma in 2009, THC Design's two founders fled to California and settled in the Bay Area. In fall 2009, they acquired an XJ-13 clone from Oaksterdam — one of the original and most respected medical cannabis dispensaries. By January 2010, THC Design had their first harvest.

When they returned to Oaksterdam with their XJ-13 flower, the dispensary was so impressed with the quality that THC Design became one of their major suppliers. They then took it to Harborside, who offered them a position as one of their exclusive growers. From there, the rest is history. Today, THC Design's XJ-13 has won:

• 2x High Times Cannabis Cup Winner
• Best Pre-Roll in California — LA Weekly (2022)
• Best Pre-Roll in California — Weedmaps (2023)
• Leaflink's Best-Selling Flower in California (2019)
• 8x Farmers Cup Award Winner
• 1st Place Indoor Flower
• Best of Secret Sesh Winner
• Blazer's Cup Winner

What Are Moon Rocks?

Moon Rocks represent the pinnacle of cannabis potency. Presidential starts with THC Design's legendary XJ-13 flower — the same award-winning cultivar that built their reputation, estate-grown and single-sourced to their exacting standards. The flower is then infused with premium THC distillate using Presidential's proprietary process that permeates all the way to the stem — not just a surface coating. Finally, it's rolled in high-quality kief for maximum potency and a slow, even burn. The result tests significantly higher than standard flower. Ground and rolled in organic hemp cones, these 1g pre-rolls deliver THC Design's signature strain amplified to Moon Rock intensity.

Flavor & Aroma

XJ-13's terpene profile is fresh, bright, and unmistakably sativa. The nose opens with zesty citrus — lemon and tangerine — layered over crisp pine and subtle earthy undertones. There's a turpentine brightness, hints of clove spice, and a musky depth that rounds out the profile. Light it up and the flavor delivers: uplifting citrus on the inhale, with pine and herbal notes emerging on the exhale. It's clean, refreshing, and energizing — like a wake-up call for your senses. The Moon Rock infusion intensifies these terpenes while adding richness from the kief coating.

Dominant Terpenes: Terpinolene (7.41mg/g — fresh, piney, energizing), Caryophyllene (4.10mg/g — spicy, anti-inflammatory), Humulene (1.18mg/g — earthy, hoppy), Myrcene (0.82mg/g — herbal), Pinene (pine, mental clarity)

Effects

XJ-13 is celebrated for delivering soaring cerebral euphoria without the raciness or anxiety that can accompany potent sativas. Effects arrive quickly: within minutes, a clear-headed uplift takes hold — mood elevates, creativity sparks, and mental clarity sharpens. You'll feel focused, motivated, and ready to tackle creative projects or engage in conversation. Unlike many sativas, XJ-13 maintains a smooth, manageable energy rather than a jittery rush. A gentle body relaxation accompanies the cerebral effects — just enough to keep you comfortable without sedation. THC Design describes the effects as "soaring, cerebral, euphoric" — and the Moon Rock infusion amplifies this to new heights. Expect 2-3+ hours of functional, productive energy.

Potency Warning: Moon Rocks test significantly higher than standard flower. THC Design's XJ-13 already tests around 28% THC — the infusion process amplifies this dramatically. Start with 2-3 puffs, wait 15-20 minutes. Despite the sativa genetics, this level of potency demands respect.

The Collaboration

This Moon Rock brings together two California cannabis leaders at the peak of their craft. Presidential — founded in 2012 and known as "the founding fathers of infused products" — pioneered the Moon Rock pre-roll category with their proprietary stem-to-flower infusion process. THC Design — founded in 2015 in Los Angeles — has built a reputation as one of California's premier cultivators, and XJ-13 is the strain that started it all. As an employee-owned company with over 100 cultivars in their genetic library, THC Design chose to make XJ-13 their flagship for a reason: it represents their standard of excellence. Together, these brands deliver THC Design's most celebrated cultivar in Presidential's most potent format.

Cultivation

THC Design's XJ-13 is estate-grown and single-sourced in Los Angeles, ensuring complete quality control from cultivation through harvest. Their facilities follow strict Oregon Tilth organic standards — more stringent than federal OMRI certifications — with a focus on sustainability, water reclamation, and reduced carbon footprint. Every flower is hand-trimmed and slow-dried over 10-14 days in controlled conditions to preserve volatile oils and maximize terpene expression. The XJ-13 genetics produce tall plants with fluffy, trichome-covered buds showcasing vibrant greens and deep orange pistils.

Lab Results (THC Design XJ-13):

• Total THC: 28.09%
• Total Cannabinoids: 30.06%
• CBG: 2.08mg/g (notable for mood and focus)

Dosing

This is an extremely potent product designed for experienced cannabis consumers.

Start with 2-3 small puffs. Wait 15-20 minutes before consuming more — effects build progressively. While XJ-13's sativa genetics make it more manageable for daytime use than indica Moon Rocks, the extreme potency still demands caution. Not recommended for beginners or those with low THC tolerance. Best enjoyed in the morning or afternoon when you want to stay productive, creative, and engaged.

Storage

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep in the original packaging or an airtight container to preserve the kief coating, terpene profile, and overall potency. Humidity control helps maintain optimal moisture for a smooth, even burn.
