I never would have grabbed Burnie Mac by Shango on my own. It doesn’t do well in a lineup. Its stats are puny. It barely musters 14% THC, a number that would designate it as a bargain strain in most spots.


Shango is a little different, however. All of its strains are top-tier. I don’t think Shango grows flower that isn’t delectable.

Appearance 4/5
Each bud is a bright, pearly green. They look like small beads from a necklace that’s split open. The right lighting draws out orangey and brown streaks.

Aroma 4/5
Burnie Mac is enticing. The aroma is bold, bursting out of the tiny jar before you’re done unscrewing the lid. It smells earthy and woody, bringing to mind images of leaves cracking underfoot and branches swaying in the wind.

Taste 3/5
The smoke has a bitter, burnt-ash flavor that’s hard to ignore. The delicate, subtle notes of the flavor are lost in the haze. I’m about as close to being an expert smoker as you can be, and I still fell into a hacking coughing fit after smoking a big Burnie Mac bowl.

Effect 4/5
Okay, this isn’t the strongest weed that I’ve ever encountered. But it does its job. In fact, the jolt of energy that pounded through my veins after a couple of puff was far more potent than I expected.

Burnie Mac appeals to smokers who are wary of THC. At 14%, even newbie smokers can feel okay taking a puff. I could also see the strain becoming popular with people who want to smoke all day without being completely oblivious.


It’s a balanced hybrid, which means the high is both physically relaxing and mentally uplifting.

Burnie Mac by Shango is surprisingly tasty. It has a weird name and hardly any THC, which makes it an odd choice for a longtime stoner. But, experimenting with weed is what I do. It’s a tough job, but somebody needs to smoke these buds. This time, I’m glad it was me. The high was more intense than I expected.

Stanky nug

Rated 4.0 out of 5

Well, if you are looking for a truly stanky nug, you’ve come to the right place. Or should I say, you’ve come to the right strain, because this is one of the stronger smelling strains that I’ve encountered in quite a long time. I, like you, enjoy a dank scented strain, as it makes me feel super excited to smoke it. But, if you are in the market for a more discreet smelling batch of nugs, you may need to look elsewhere, because this bud’s smell is so “loud” it’ll wake the neighbors up, if you catch my drift.

Burnie Mac is an instant classic for me. I’ve been smoking weed for years now, and I’ve had my fair share of “favorite” smokes, but this instantly launched itself towards the tops of my all-time favorite strains. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one to fall in love with this delicious smoke after only one session. It’s phenomenal in every single way.

I know that there are many different factors that play into a bud’s overall potency, but for me, I’m almost always won over by a strain’s scent profile. It doesn’t have to be the most complicated aromatic experience, so long as it provides me with a decent dank kick in the nostrils when I crack open the jar. Will this particular strain be able to make my picky stoner nose happy with its smell? Or will it let me down in the stank department? I need to know!

The Bernie Mac was one of the funniest dudes on the planet. Definitely passed away long before his time. He was, without a doubt, one of the “Original Kings of Comedy” and this bud is a great, super fitting tribute to the man everyone and loved. Much like him, this bud packs a bunch of laughter and energy into one enjoyable experience that you won’t soon forget – much like the legendary comedian/actor, himself.
