Remember the scene in the Galaxy Quest where they beam up the pig-lizard? In the beam-up process, the porcine hybrid turns inside out and shows up a mess. To contrast, cracking into a nug of MAC, you will find that if it was turned inside out – you almost wouldn’t know the difference. What do I mean? The amount of trichome development inside the bud structure is impressively equal to the exterior of the flower; a thick gloss of amber white trichome.
Deep purple tips on the calyx stand out against the windows of bright green, and tight triangular structured buds speaks to the Cookies genetics connection.
This depth of development is something we saw in another Standard Wellness product: Do-Si-Do. The development of the flower and its full ripeness is totally evident in the tight parade of cannabinoid covered pistils and nodes. The kind handling of the buds was also evident in the fact that so much of the interior trichome structure was preserved, and the exterior is well protected. Good on you Standard Wellness, a fine product indeed.
If you are a patient who has a higher acclimatization to cannabis, then MAC might be the miracle you are looking for. As you can likely guess from the previous paragraphs, the potency of this flower is up there. The sweet earthy dank with a tangy ending teases at the presence of pinene, caryophyllene, and ocimene among others. Expect a sticky blizzard in your grinder, and flower that produces large amounts of vapor.
Rapid onset of the affects comes in the form of time distortions, distance gazing, and some giddiness. An uplifting vibration settles in that covers both body and soul. I find this strain to be powerfully comfortable; despite its potency, I never felt anxious or overwhelmed. The balance in this strain is something that I really came to appreciate.
Patients looking for help with stress relief, anxiety, minor body aches and appetite loss may all find relief in this strain, according to many online resources. The constraints and worries of the season didn’t seem to matter as much as the miracle of the Alien Cookies took action and I was able to take some steps back in perspective.
As the affects wore down, I was left feeling heavy lidded and thankfully far from zapped. Making the choice between a short nap or a small dose of caffeine was all that was needed to bounce right back. Grab some of this craft flower at Beehive Farmacy in Salt Lake City while it lasts.
