High MAC
High MAC is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossing of M.A.C. Stomper. This cultivar is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, where it demonstrates a moderate level of horticultural difficulty. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Its genetic influence is notable in a variety of subsequent cultivars, including Buttz to Runtz, High Stomper OG, Highmac F2, Snow’d In, Suge White, Super Stomper, and Truffle High.
The terpene profile of High MAC is led by myrcene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene, with beta-pinene, limonene, and nerolidol serving as secondary contributors. The sensory experience is rounded out by a tertiary complex that includes linalool, humulene, ocimene, guaiol, camphene, bisabolol, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse chemical composition dictates the aromatic and flavor characteristics experienced by the user, reflecting the hierarchical arrangement of these specific compounds.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, High MAC is primarily sought for its ability to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make the strain a functional choice for those managing symptoms associated with stress and pain, as well as for individuals looking for assistance with sleep. The consistent efficacy of these results has helped the strain maintain a reputation for addressing specific wellness needs while serving as a reliable foundation for modern breeding programs.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
