MAC

First time, it was almost perfect - a nice, happy, cerebral optimistic take-off followed by an almost sedating stone paired with a level of cognition I never knew I possessed. Next few sessions, the come ups were nasty and abrupt but breathwork guided it to a superlative focused, relaxing stone. Like, the take -offs were hideous but the destination? Oh-so-worth it. Normally, if strains send me somewhere I don't like, they automatically are "got rid" but MAC has the distinction of providing THE stone I manifest so I persisted. I got myself a CBD vape to use pre-emptively, hit the cart containing the MAC. Take-off time and NO turbulence what so-ever. I was catapulted immediately into a cerebral, euphoric high that was out of this world. I felt witty, urbane and social. As I am highly introverted, imagine that. And the cognition enhancing stone feels even more enhanced . Reviews seem to indicate this strain hits me much differently than a lot of people but as I live with Autism....need I say more? For ME, this strain gets me to THAT place where everything is just put on hold and enhanced in a way other strains don't even touch the sides. I only gave this a 4. I would have rated it a 5 alone for the ways it caresses my brain meat and nukes arthritic flare ups but the increased potentiality for weed shakes sadly takes it down a notch. However, as long as I have CBD as a co-pilot, this might be the best strain ...ever?

Was super excited to check out this strain, as I'd heard great things. Well, those great things were justified! But, there was a bit of a downside, too--hence the 3 star rating (I'd give it like 3.5 or 3.75 if I could). I consumed this by using my Pax 3 (dry-herb vape). The high came on quick as I was listening to the late, great Toots & the Maytals "Funky Kingston" record. "WOW, I thought to myself, this is UNDENIABLY THE BEST MUSIC EVER MADE!" lol. (I already love this type of music, but you can more deeply appreciate the layers of musical influences and nuances of the music while stoned, I think.) I was laying on my bed at first, but very quickly, I felt like I just couldn't possibly sit still and HAD to get up and dance around my room like a happy fool. It was an extremely euphoric moment. I was disappointed when the record ended because it made me realize I didn't have any more first-wave ska records in my collection to keep the dance party going...! I only consumed a small amount of flower (like 2 hits off the Pax), so the high felt very short-lived (I listened to about 1.5 records before feeling the high wear off). The downside to this high was that the comedown was a bit tough. After feeling SO good during the peak of the high, it felt a bit depressing to come back down to Earth, and furthermore, I felt a little bit of a headache come on. I guess this is what it means to have a mild "weed hangover," something I've rarely (if ever) experienced (although this may be due to the fact that I typically smoke before bed, so I usually just fall asleep). The only other time I can remember feeling a similar kind of comedown effect is after smoking GSC, which has given me a bit of that depressive feeling after the fact, plus a bit of dizziness as well. Overall, I do recommend trying this baby out, it's extremely euphoric, a bit creative as you can really appreciate all the little aspects of music and being alive in general that you might not normally be tuned into, but just beware of the potential comedown.

The local bud I just picked up did not look as nice as the flower I used to get from Grassroots over in Illinois, but it smoked just the same. MAC buds sometimes come wrapped in purple leaves, but all are dense and sticky, green and orange inside. The effect isn't as deep or relaxing as L Gelato, and it doesn't have the big beautiful head-effect of Jupiter, nor is it as strong as either of those, but MAC is still very comparable and easier to find. It's easily one of my favorite strains, even if I've never seen it higher than 26%. The miracle here is that it IS so strong, although it doesn't seem like it at first. It settles in deep and lasts for a while. I like to vary the strains I smoke so I don't get tired of them, but MAC already has a nuanced effect on the mind that lends its own variety. It's a new experience wrapped up inside of an old one at least half the time . . . that's what makes it so out of this world. Least of all, the buds are so tasty you could actually eat them instead of smoking them.
