About Mt. Hood Magic
Mt. Hood Magic is a sativa that crosses Northern Lights #5 with Durban Poison. Named for Oregon’s tallest peak, it has long been tied to the Pacific Northwest and is a favorite among Oregon growers and consumers. It has also been featured in 420 best-strain lists, and you may see it sold as Mount Hood Magic.
The aroma is sweet and earthy with fresh pine and a hint of spice from its Durban Poison side. Buds are usually light green and spear shaped, with orange hairs and a sticky layer of trichomes. Terpinolene often adds a bright, fresh character, myrcene can bring an earthy sweetness, and pinene may contribute the crisp, mountain-forest note.
Mt. Hood Magic is commonly described as energetic, uplifted and creative. People often choose it during the day, when they want a clear, active mood for hikes, projects or social plans. THC usually ranges from 15% to 21%, with little CBD.
Daytime consumers who like classic, lively sativas may enjoy Mt. Hood Magic, though people sensitive to racy effects should be careful. Start low, go slow, and avoid stacking doses too quickly. Use WhereLeaf to find Mt. Hood Magic at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
