MAC
Cannabinoids
Potency profile
Lab-reported ranges across multiple harvests. Individual batches will vary; always check the COA on the package.
Mid-to-high potency sativa. The range reflects phenotype variation — start low and work up for new users.
Trace amounts. This is a THC-forward cultivar, not a balanced or CBD-rich variety.
Indica / sativa balance
MAC leans clearly sativa but carries a real indica foundation. Uplifting and energizing up front, with a mellow body ease that runs throughout.
- Sativa · 50%
- Cerebral lift, creative energy, social and uplifting.
- Indica · 50%
- Body relaxation and calm without sedation.
Terpenes

Terpenes shape both how MAC smells and which effects show up most strongly. Limonene leads here — it enhances THC absorption and contributes to the aroma.
