Madness, aka The Madness, aka Mull, aka MM, is Mullumbimby Madness, a mostly sativa from NSW, Australia. PNG is Papua New Guinea, which MM is said to contain.
Shantibaba did a lot of work on Madness before he left for Amsterdam. Shantibaba's Mullumbimby Madness:
"To answer a bit about Mullumbimby Madness, well that was one of my strains that I worked on in the late 70s and early 80s when I lived in a small village called Main Arm, in between Byron Bay and Kyogle/Lizmore. There was a few legends helping out altogether and we hit something incredible. I still have that as one of the seed stocks that we grow for personal use. It basically was a 3/4 sativa, which is a huge tree and perfect to grow in that sub tropical climate of NSW north out doors.To do this strain inside you need height!! I would compare it to Nevils Haze if I was asked to do so..."
Quoted in CCmag, that this is his secret sativa which shaped strains like Widow and El Nino:
"The Green House told me they supply this bud to Dutch chemotherapy patients. Their house breeder also told me that he used an Australian strain (Mulanimbee Madness)(SIC) to develop the White Family. He claims the Madness is the most potent pot he's seen on this planet."
In ICmag or mrnice forums back in 2010 (you can find quote in both), Shanti acknowledged that Cannabis cup winning El Nino was a mating of Mullumbimby Madness and White Widow:
"The seed I used was from original seed grown in northern NSW in the late 70s and 80s of which some referred to it as Mullumbimby Madness...what I considered a Thai Columbian New Guinea inbreed line from a fellow grower who had had it growing and collected the seed himself from those places in his travels."
Yeah, sativas...freaking love 'em, but can't grow 'em indoors easily.
I was looking at my history trying to figure out how I stumbled across this site, and I think someone posted a link on GrassCity or TerpTrail and the two words, "grow" and "dolls", piqued my interest.
