MAC is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. Cultivators will find the plant reaches maturity after a 65-day flowering period, offering a high yield when grown in either indoor or outdoor environments. Due to its moderate difficulty level, practitioners of cannabis cultivation should expect a balanced growth cycle that yields consistent results for those accustomed to refined genetic management.
The sensory profile of MAC is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy led by limonene, followed by caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, beta-pinene, myrcene, bisabolol, humulene, and terpinolene. This chemical structure continues through a spectrum of compounds that creates a nuanced aromatic experience.
As a THC-dominant strain with 22.7% THC, MAC is primarily utilized for its ability to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These properties make it a frequent choice for managing stress, alleviating pain, and supporting sleep. Its genetic reach is substantiated by a significant list of offspring, including Cereal Milk X MAC, ECSD X MAC, GMO x MAC, Orange Apricot x MAC, Rotten Peaches X MAC, Siberian GG#4 x MAC, Apples & Bananas X MAC, Double Banana Mango Haze x Mac, Pablo’s Revenge X MAC, and Wedding Cake X MAC.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
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.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is MAC indica or sativa?
MAC is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in MAC?
Limonene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is MAC good for daytime use?
MAC is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
