When I first tried this strain, I was about to leave for a two-hour train ride. Upon smoking, I was concerned I had gotten too high rather quickly. Instead, I realized my ADHD was rather surprising and I was able to focus on one thought at a time. Super mellowing, but with a good boast of energy with loads of cognitive clarity. Perfect pre-work smoke.
Classic "this strain is so good it inspired me to write my first review" here.
Picked up a Klutch CO2 Luster Pod, and instantly recognized that it smelled very unique... it's got a ton of depth to the smell, and it seems to converge into a nice blend of sweet, dense, and gassy with some freshness on top. I can't say that I have ever had the smell of any strain catch my attention so much. It's very non-offensive. It almost reminds me of the smell of rain.
The flavor is definitely there in full force as well, a super gassy, honestly just delicious vapor. It is smooth, 100%. It does "expand" a lot, and the flavor is strong but not overwhelming or in any way off-putting.
I hit it for a solid 5-6 seconds on the luster and decided to see what it had going for it, and man, I was so not ready. At first I thought it was a creeper, but within 3-5 minutes I realized that it wasn't so much of a creeper as it is a smooth takeoff. I'm thoroughly cooked, but fully functional, fully present, and feeling like a well-oiled machine. Like I am somehow not alone anymore when MAC 1 showed up. Sensory input is enhanced in every domain. It's DEFINITELY in your face - but feels so familiar and safe that that is what you want.
This is an absolutely incredible example of what seems to be a perfect hybrid, one that could be used in any situation. I usually have to be careful with anxiety but as I hit it more, the anxiety just sinks further away. Usually when I find a strain that helps this much with anxiety, it is something way too heavy to use when you need to focus. Not this one, you won't find the heaviness that comes with something like Pheno 51 or Slurricane.
Initially I was put off by the situation with the genetics being guarded, and the growers having to be chosen to grow this pheno, but now I understand. This is an example of cannabis that stands up to all levels of scrutiny. I could confidently hand this to anyone I know who is experienced in the industry, and they would all be impressed.
I thought I had my top spots settled with a few really solid strains, and I never expected that I would come across one that stands out this hard after so many years. This plays ball with the biggest, the Northern Lights, the Oreoz, the Jack Herer, Skywalker OG, White Fire OG, Island Sweet Skunk, heavy deisels, you get the idea. This one goes straght towards - and potentially to - the top of all of it.
Basically I can just sum this up by saying if you see this, you need to buy it. If you have any desire to find the ultimate strain, this one needs at least a chance. I have had other MAC phenos that were amazing, but not like this.
I wish I could personally thank the person who bred these genetics into what they are now. This is nothing short of art in the world of cannabis.
Beginners - hit this one very lightly at first and give it a few minutes, but this IS a strain I would recomment to newbies.
Veterans - I picked up 5 other strains today alone, and many more over many years. I don't make such a strong recommendation lightly. You'll recognize the feeling this one brings.
The most uplifting, inspiring, creatively energizing strain I've ever smoked.
MAC 1 is proof that you can buy happiness. As a user who suffers with depression I wish I could always have this strain on me. Miracle 👽 Cookies.
This is the strain. I’ve been looking for something to help with insomnia as well as depression and anxiety. Although it did not work for insomnia (I was up until 3:00am) my depression and anxiety were virtually eliminated. I had the motivation to clean and organize my bedroom which I have not found for months. I was happy. If I could give over 5 stars I would, it is amazing.
Top shelf Cali popularity right here A1. A very strange high from this one, a heady one if must say so. But its one of them ones which you can control high, if you want to slump and go to sleep with ease then you can… but at the same time you can feel energetic and uplifted if you want to do something. One of the best smokes I've had in a while thats for sure!
WOW !!! I am 53 years old > Been smoking since I was 13 > This is the shit. I picked up an eight of this from a local dispensary . The buds look exactly like the pic here on Leafly > And I mean toa tee. It's has an earthy , musky floral and incensed smell like no other. Super dense rock hard nugs with some dull hints of purple as well. I smoked a nice size three rip bong hit and I was out there. I had to actually get in the car and drive about 45 minuets to go visit my cousin. My thoughts were all over the place and sort of racy at first but no paranoia whatsoever. Just taking everything around me in. I had to stop at a gas station to look for some fingernail clippers and I was doing laps around the store over and over searching for them but I did not want to ask for any help. And then the serious giggles started. LMAO > Then when I got to my cousins house he had a few hits and we were laughing our asses off. Oh and I forgot to mention the taste is one of a kind. Very terpy and rich. Super tasty but yet smooth. I shared some with my girlfriend over the next couple of days and nothing gets her high and this had her setting the bong down after 2 bongs. I was saving nugs of this stuff for a month or so and have never ever seen it again. I look all the time . Mine was by Vibe here in Mo. It clocked in at 29 % THC > Probably some of the best weed I have EVER had. I'm still searching every dispensary within a 50 mile radius on a daily basis. I'm sure Vibe will release a new batch sometime. This is the shit. The holy grail of weed. I know mine was the MAC 1 because of the pic of the on here. Mine was just like that. If you see this just buy it and stack up.
It's good for going out and about. I can definitely see myself walking around the park smoking this. I have a high preference for indica-leaning hybrids, do not let my opinions cloud ur judgement lol
