Description
Appearance
True to its name, Critical Mass grows large, chunky buds that are dense and often prone to breaking branches due to their weight. The buds are bright green with rusty orange pistils and a frosty layer of trichomes that give them a glistening, sticky finish.
Aroma (Terpene Profile)
This strain gives off a strong, earthy aroma with sweet undertones and a slightly herbal finish. Its terpene profile is rich in myrcene (relaxing and sedative), pinene (piney and alert), and caryophyllene (peppery and anti-inflammatory), making it deeply aromatic and soothing.
Effects
Critical Mass is best known for its full-body relaxation. It starts with a wave of calm that spreads from your head to your toes, easing stress, anxiety, and physical discomfort. As the high continues, you’ll likely feel sleepy and content, making it ideal for winding down at the end of the day. It’s not particularly energizing or cerebral—this one’s all about tranquility and relief.
Flavors
The flavor of Critical Mass is earthy and sweet, with hints of herbs and spices on the exhale. It’s smooth, mellow, and not too pungent—great for those who prefer strains with a more natural, grounded taste.
Genetics/Origin
Critical Mass is a cross between Afghani and Skunk #1, two legendary strains known for their potency and stability. The result is a strain that’s easy to grow, yields heavily, and provides consistently soothing effects.
THC and CBD Content
Critical Mass typically ranges from 19% to 22% THC, with CBD levels under 1%, though some versions bred for medical use may have higher CBD content. Its potency is strong enough for experienced users, but not overwhelming for newer ones when used in moderation.
Medical Benefits
This strain is widely used for pain relief, insomnia, muscle spasms, stress, and anxiety. Its heavy body effects and calming nature make it a favorite among medical cannabis patients who need something dependable for physical and mental relief.
Who’s It For
Critical Mass is perfect for evening or nighttime use, especially if you’re dealing with stress, pain, or trouble sleeping. It’s a great fit for both medical and recreational users who want a strain that provides deep relaxation without a complicated or intense head high.
