Magnificent Mile

Named after the stretch in Chicago that’s known for its gorgeous skyscrapers and stunning nightlife, Magnificent Mile by medical dispensary Ataraxia has become one of the more unique and popular buds in the Midwest. Grown in Illinois, the team originally cultivated this strain from an Iranian Landrace and has developed it to offer incredible pure indica effects. Home growers who can actually get their hands on seeds find this bud to be a joy to cultivate.

With a fairly consistent potency level that hits between 23% and 24%, Magnificent Mile, also known as Mag Mile, is ideal for more experienced smokers. These nugs tend to be oversized and neon green with deep purple undertones along with very small amber crystals that glisten in the sun. Overall, this bud smells and tastes like a mixture of herbs, earth, and diesel, with notes of sweet and spicy poking their heads out every once in a while. Despite how she sounds, Mag Mile’s smoke is incredibly smooth and offers a reprieve for those who find traditional toking to be tough on their throat.

As one would expect from a pure indica bud, Magnificent Mile tends to be incredibly sedating but may not hit you quite as hard as you’d expect at first. Most report that this strain is a total creeper but will eventually hit you with a mental surge of joy and relaxation. Along with this euphoric attitude comes a deep feeling of hunger, with the tendency to want to eat everything within sight. We can’t stress this enough – prepare snacks ahead of time because once the ultimate couch lock kicks in, you won’t really be good for much of anything. If you’re a bit sensitive to cannabis, you just might fall asleep for the night.

Locating seeds of Mag Mile can be a bit tricky, but if you’re able to score some for personal use, you’ll likely be pretty happy with the result. Many note that yields are higher than average, and plants only grow to a medium height, making her more manageable in smaller spaces. Mag Mile prefers a warm climate if at all possible, and after 7 to 10 weeks of care, she’ll be ready to harvest. If you’re completely new to the home growing game, you might want to enlist a bit of help – while this strain isn’t particularly difficult, she’s also not a walk in the park either.

If you’re looking for a bud that brings an amazing feeling of relaxation to most smokers while offering bold flavors that will perk up your tastebuds, Magnificent Mile could be the one for you. Make a trip to the grocery store first because your hunger might reach insatiable levels if not!
