Anyone who has been enjoying cannabis for some time has likely heard of MAC. You may have encountered her as Miracle Alien Cookies, but her lineage is the same: an amazing cross between Starfighter, Columbia, and Alien Cookies, bred by none other than Capulator. MAC has been involved in some pretty impressive new strains of her own, proving that she deserves a spot in everyone’s stash.

An evenly balanced hybrid, MAC tends to top out at 24% THC but has been seen on dispensary shelves as low as 19%. Each resin-covered bud has a meaty feel to it, letting you know that you’re about to embark upon an intense journey. Those who enjoy pungent flavors and aromas will love her mixture of diesel, spice, and sour citrus notes.

Some think of MAC as the best social strain around, while others tend to reserve her for more creative endeavors. Either way, most report that your high will begin with a euphoric boost that increases your desire to chat with others and can help you complete your art project with ease. Soon after your cerebral journey has settled in, it’s not uncommon to experience tingles starting at your scalp and running the length of your body. Most users note that this feels relaxing rather than sedative, making Miracle Alien Cookies a good choice for spending time with friends into the wee hours of the morning.

This strain’s truly balanced nature really shines in medical applications, as MAC has long been known to help some users battle a plethora of mental concerns. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, or PTSD, a few tokes might help to ease your worries. Physical pain may also be soothed and, in some instances, individuals who struggle with nausea or even a loss of appetite could find that this strain gets them excited about eating a hearty meal.

Unlike many other popular strains, MAC is one that you can actually grow at home as seeds have been seen for sale, although finding them can be difficult. Indoor cultivators should take note that plants can get quite tall, so make sure to have adequate space before you begin. After 9 to 10 weeks of utilizing Sea of Green methods, you’ll probably have a sizable harvest on your hands. Miracle Alien Cookies truly flourishes outdoors though and is typically ready in early October.

Cookies fans are tried and true smokers, so if you haven’t yet gotten your hands on MAC, it’s time to go on a mission to find her. If your tolerance is high, explore how this bud interacts with your afternoon routine and see if you can get an extra jolt of creativity when you need it most. Others who are newer to cannabis might find that she makes for an ideal evening smoke, allowing a sense of ease to overtake you during social situations.
