Mac Dragon
Mac Dragon is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Dragons Stash. As a result of this pairing, the strain has established itself within contemporary cultivation circles as a producer of high yields. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring a moderate level of expertise to manage throughout its 56-day flowering cycle. Its genetic lineage continues through notable offspring such as Mac Dragon F2 and Maui Mac Dragon.
The chemical profile of Mac Dragon is characterized by a complex array of fifteen terpenes, dominated primarily by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. This aromatic foundation is rounded out by the presence of pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, and linalool. The secondary spectrum includes beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, and camphene, concluding with caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse composition informs the strain's specific sensory profile, manifesting as a balanced experience rooted in its heavy reliance on caryophyllene and myrcene.
As a THC-dominant variety, Mac Dragon provides consumers with a distinct set of effects, primarily characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Given these psychoactive properties, the strain is frequently selected for use cases involving the management of stress, pain, and sleep. Its established utility and genetic influence are preserved and passed forward through its progeny, cementing its role as a functional hybrid in current breeding programs.

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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
