Also known as: Forbidden Mac 178
What is the Forbidden Mac strain?
Forbidden Mac is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and candy and diesel flavor profile.
Forbidden Mac is a sophisticated sativa-leaning hybrid strain developed by Moab Genetix through an extensive breeding program. The strain emerged from a large-scale phenotype hunt involving 400 seeds and approximately 200 females, ultimately selecting for optimum quality and effects. This meticulously crafted strain represents a cross between (Grateful Breath x Forbidden Fruit) and Mac V2, creating a unique genetic profile that combines the gassy, kushy characteristics of its lineage with a distinctive sweet fuel aroma profile. The genetics trace back through Grateful Breath (OGKB x Joseph OG), Forbidden Fruit (Cherry Pie x Tangie), and Mac V2 (Capulator's refined version of MAC). This complex genetic heritage contributes to Forbidden Mac's reputation as a commercial-grade strain that passes all stress testing while maintaining exceptional bag appeal and effects. The strain is notable for containing significant amounts of both CBD and THCV, with THCV levels reaching above 4% when properly cultivated. This unique cannabinoid profile sets Forbidden Mac apart from typical sativas, as the CBD content helps offset anxiety often associated with sativa-dominant strains, while the elevated THCV contributes to its uplifting, energizing effects.
