Mac and Cheese

Leafly describes Mac and Cheese as a hybrid cross of Mac 1 and Alien Cheese, and this flower takes its name from that strain. Capulator is the original breeder Leafly names.

Mac 1 on one side, Alien Cheese on the other

In Leafly’s description, Mac 1 goes by “The Mac”. Leafly believes the THC to be 23% and shows CBG at 1%, and its potency scale ranks the strain above the average.

Blue cheese, butter and a citrus edge

Cheese, butter and blue cheese are Leafly’s flavour tags. The description speaks of hints of cheese and citrus, with a smooth, sweet aroma.

Two Leafly reviewers describe a strong blue cheese smell or taste, and a third compares the taste to Swiss cheese.

Myrcene tops the terpene list

Myrcene (herbal) comes first in Leafly’s terpene data, with limonene (citrus) and caryophyllene (pepper) behind it. Our limonene guide goes deeper on the middle one.

On Leafly’s effect scale the strain reads more energizing than relaxing, and its reviewers report feeling focused, uplifted and euphoric.

Pacing a strain Leafly puts at 23% THC

For people who smoke or vape, Health Canada sets a gentle first step: two puffs at most, from something rated 10% THC or lower. Its page adds that the first effects can show in seconds to minutes, while a peak may still be up to 30 minutes off.
