Potency
MAC strain is an acronym for Miracle Alien Cookies or Miracle Cookies, which is a hybrid cannabis created by Capulator. MAC is the child strain of Alien Cookies, Columbian, and Starfighter. It contains a moderate THC content of 20-22%, a CBG content of 1%, and a very low CBD content of 0.15-0.43%. This makes it a little unsuitable for beginners who are not yet used to consuming marijuana strains with a higher-than-average THC content. This weed has a citrusy flavor because of the presence of Limonene as the prominent terpene. The best time to smoke some MAC weed would be in the daytime when some energy is needed.
Miracle Alien Cookies Strain Benefits Effects
Like similar weeds that are hybrid, Miracle Cookies provides effects of both relaxation and positivity. Tokers feel relaxed, happy, euphoric, and even creative. That's why people say this strain is good for arts and crafts. It can have some side effects, too, though, like dry mouth, dry eyes, dizziness, and headache, so consume in amounts that you can easily handle. What's more interesting with this strain is that usually each user has their own individual experience.
Because of its relaxing and calming effects, MAC is used by medical marijuana patients suffering from issues like anxiety, stress, and depression. It can also help people who have a lack of appetite by making them hungry. And since it relaxes the body as well as the mind, it can help treat chronic pain as well.
This strain is quite popular, so it won't be difficult to find it in the dispensary.

PERFECT for chronic pain, doesn't matter if its cancer treatments or Arthritis.
nEwbies ahould stay off this one. It can get real dizzy real fast.
So many people had told me to expect a beuatiful bud when the plant matured but i alwauys thought they were exxagerating. Wait till i saw the brownish, purple specks on the bud. Never saw anything as beautiful, almost had me rethinking rolling them up into fine little joints.
Enticing cutrus tatstes. Felt like I was in an orange orchid when i lit up a bud.
When making my edibles I choose the very best and i am glad to say that Miracle Alien Cookies is just that brand. The brownies i made ended up knocking out my friends for three solid hours. When they woke up they took another hit and suddenly we were watching a movie chilled out as hell.
Like Harris I noticed a stunted stalk but I repotted immediately and got a great harvest.
IDEAL strain for relaxation. Each night befoire bed I roll up a joint and sit in my favorite couch with a book and a throw blanket. Sometimes I get so excited I end up finsihing entire books in a sitting. Other times I get waken up the next morning by my husband as he leaves for work. ALL win win if you ask me.
Yet another weed that beginners should refrain from. Regular experienced stoners on the other hand can have their feast on this baby. Its high is so intense that you'll find them thanking me for this. Also, do try and use it in a bong even if its just once, I believe it adds to the experience.
must be what heaven smells like. Burnt a bud in a bowl and my room smells so nice.
i mostly stay away from any diesel tasting cannabis because i do not believe that pungent smell should go down a human's throat. Something made me try MAC the other day and i was tempted to claw my throat out. Only remedy was to keep sipping some water I had.
A few weeks in i realized my main stalk was not growing at all. This was quite frustrating because its supposed to get real tall. It wasn't after harvesting that i realized the roots had some issues. Next time I am definitely planting in a bigger pot.
One of my favorite strains...never disappointed...great for daytime...couple takes gets you there
Growing some now and they are a bit tricky to grow. I think they’re sensitive to anaerobic bac from standing water(overwatering) I’m hoping they bounce back but lots of tops so far after a cpl weeks of flower.
I have to disclose that I took 30mg of edibles before I smoked. That being said, in the early stages I felt like I was having a out of body experience. I was experiencing an increase of all my senses, the colors and sounds were so clear, it was like I had super vision and hearing. However, the pleasure soon would end and I began to feel strange, anxious and paranoid and very irritable. It felt like my heart was beating so fast that I was sure I was going to have a heart attack. My vision began to cloud up, literally I was seeing smoke or clouds all over the room. It felt like I could hear ppl from miles away, could hear everything in the house it felt. Then the paranoia became pure panic, it felt like I was dying, not even being dramatic. Now I know this is all from smoking too much and mixing with the edibles but what a trip. Thought I was going to meet my maker. Girlfriend loved it and was laughing at me the entire time, lol! Enjoy in moderation!
interesting hybrid because for me it has more indica effects than sativa ... perfect relaxation after a hard day
Love it. Growing it I have found it to be sensitive to h20. One over water sets me back almost 2 weeks. Touchy bitches.
Mac strain makes my casual days bright and full of positive emotions. Can’t believe that such a weed has so useful influence for my mood and my body. Now I don’t wanna even imagine my further life without this weed.
Hey, guys! Can you share your impressions about mac weed? As for me this pot allows to be calm, that at the same time I’m so full of energy and desire to do smth. What can be better?
Hope, you also fell into euphoria after smoking mac weed. This strain helped me to find my happy mood that I’ve lost for a long time. It’s really so great that life can give us such gifts like mac weed!
Oh, yes, this marijuana was sent for me to meet my euphoric mood. But sometimes I can feel headache and have insomnia, but I don’t worry about it. I enjoy cool tastes of this kush and great emotions after smoking mac strain.
I live on another planet with mac weed, Im really an alien!
I think I finally found my favorite weed. It’s a mac strain. I adore its coffee and vanilla tastes, it’s a very interesting experiment to smoke this coffee weed and drink coffee, strange mix). Just try to kill your interest)
My anxiety gone, mac strain did it! What a sweet effect!
my night was really bad. Couldnt fall asleep for hours
Mac, youre my best friend!

mac is one of my top 5 favorites. It has a great smell and taste and pushes all the right buttons. it is a balanced hybrid that delivers the best of both worlds: cerebral, full body buzz, euphoria, uplifting and relaxing. The high is however slightly low and doesnt deliver as much as I would want, but it is smooth and clear.
I made a mistake and smoked this strain before finishing up my chores. I sat there and continually cursed myself for that. I was too lazy to even fix myself a cup of hot chocolate. This shit makes you lazy and couch locked. I dont agree with most reviews I have read on Leafly and other websites about making one active and creative. it is only ideal for night use.
most reviews about mac are true. This strain is quite potent and delivers as it says. I suffer from Bipolar disorder with escalated mood swings and depression and MAC has helped me deal with the condition. This dope is definitely worth the price.
this ganja is dank af. I try to get it any time I come across it.
it has the medical effects I need and great smell and taste.
Very nice high.
absolutely love Mac
Disappointed by it short-lived effects,
it has me chilled out but not couch locked.
i agree with Adams, this shit makes you horny. My BF had me the whole F*****g night!
Her and i smoked this bud and its definitely a strain that is not a sleeper.
I always enjoy the effect during the day or night Helps with my sleep
Def a stress locker
I like the pot
Nice and cool
Superb taste
This strain is relaxing and eliminated fatigue The best alternative to clinical meds
Best weed ever
The weed has a floral smell and the purplish leaves with green buds with orange hairs turn me on with just the look of it You are missing a lot of you dont smoke this strain
Pretty rare around here Glad I can get it easily I love it
Im gonna smoke again
One of my favorite weeds Love the state and smell is great
Tremendous effects
Very relaxing
My favorite medicine
