Critical Mass
Critical Mass is an indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain that's a cross between the iconic Afghani X Skunk #1 strains. This bud gets its name from the tendency of branches to break under the weight of the insanely dense buds. It's not uncommon for growers to find branches of their Critical Mass plants littering the floors of their greenhouses. These buds are dark green in color with brownish orange hairs and a coating of crystals and relatively small amounts of resin. Don't be fooled by the resin – these dank buds are as dense as they come. Critical Mass has a mild 19-22% THC level and is often used to treat chronic pain from illnesses, such as cancer and multiple sclerosis, as well as anxiety and panic disorders. With a sweet and earthy smell and an herbal taste, Critical Mass is popular among new users and long-term users alike. Smoking small amounts leads to feelings of creativity and euphoria, followed by laziness, couch-lock, and sleepiness. This strain would be ideal to smoke during a lazy afternoon where you want to relax, but still need to be functional.
About this strain: Critical Mass
The nose hits first: myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene drive a terpene trio that swings between dank musk and citrus spice. Crack the jar and you'll catch sharp notes of wood, lemon peel, and hashish, every bit as classic as the high itself.
Smokers say the effects move with purpose. The first pull brings a mellow, contented lift that smooths over tension and quiets the noise, followed by a slow, velvety descent into a state of full-body calm. Appetite stirs, time stretches, and even the busiest minds start to idle.
Whether you're clocking out for the night or shutting the world off for a while, Critical Mass brings that legacy indica effect: Steady, strong, and all business when it's time to unwind.
