UpperCut on Tour: The Highest Sesh in Low Season on the 18th of May in Phuket at Phuket High

Mac 1 is Fire Farms’s trophy weed. It is a world of colors and textures. Purples, oranges, and dusty sparkly whites adorn a sticky, dense and plump mass of alien life. The bud’s aroma puts the entire neighborhood on alert, it is loud, ever changing and develops with every sniff. Sweet, vanilla, lemon cream are the first and most noticeable odors. A piney, nutty and gassy essence come out as the bud is broken apart and could flood an arena when ground. A dry pull is gassy with lemon cream flavors. The flavor begins with a fruity and creamy sweetness which becomes more and more herbal, piney, and floral as the joint continues to burn concluding with a sweet lavender flavor.    

Mac 1 packs a euphoric and debilitating high. It sets heavy in the head and body—slowing everything down—increasing gravity—requiring the utmost concentration and exertion for the smallest task. It did not put me to sleep—but did relieve my body of pain and stress. Indeed, I happily watched the world go by in slow motion—enjoying the taste of the smooth smoke left in my mouth—making the great effort to eat almond dark chocolate and drink a cup of tea (by the time I got to that tea it was room temperature). Once I did go to sleep, I dosed off happily—but the bud did not sedate me.

Mac 1 is highly recommended to experienced users. It is beautiful, it smells and tastes delicious, it has a high which is happily debilitating. If you can get your hands on it—do not hesitate!  For novice users, this bud is going to knock you out, but get it. It will overwhelm you and put you deep in your sofa. Take one puff and then put it down. It will be a while before you find a bud like this again.
