Critical Kush is a potent indica marijuana strain. Bred by Barney’s Farm, this popular strain blends together two famed cannabis staples, Critical Mass and OG Kush. Aromatic notes of earthiness and spice usher in a calming sensation that relaxes the mind and body. Critical Kush pairs a staggeringly high THC content with a moderate dose of CBD, making this strain a perfect nighttime medication for pain, stress, insomnia, and muscle spasms. Growers cultivating this strain indoors will wait 50 to 60 days for Critical Kush to complete its flowering cycle.

First thoughts on Critical Kush: Happy and Relaxed, classic Indicia with just the right amount of mind high. My tolerance is medium I'd say, I stopped smoking weed for years due to getting panic attacks from getting too high. Now that it's legal, it's easier to choose the right strains. I have major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety as well as ADHD. Before, I used to prefer Sativa strains, however I began disliking how much they get me in my head. I enjoy indicas for the body relaxation that stops anxiety and being able to not have too much of a cerebral high. With Critical Kush, I noticed a spicy/herbal/pepper taste with a hint of sweetness. I would describe it as tangy if only leafly had that option. The buds I have are bright lime green with an earthy/herbal smell. Effects are very interesting. There is usually this threshold with most strains of a bit of paranoia when it kicks in, Critical Kush seems to coast you through that, so it's easy to accidentally smoke too much! It's not so "punchy" in its effects, so I say the pros to it are that it's great if you're a beginner smoker, but frustrating if you have a higher tolerance because you end up smoking more and may accidentally get too high. Happened to me a couple of times. Overall, I love how happy stoney this is. If you wanna couch lock, you can. If you wanna get things done, you can. It seems to support whatever you feel like doing whilst relaxing you. With my ADHD, my ability to focus is the struggle, this helps with that very much so. For depression, I'd want something that doesn't lock me to the couch too much, but thankfully if you make it a point to move around and do things, this strain will make it a fun and vivid experience. The only thing I could really do without is the dizziness. If you smoke a moderate amount, that shouldn't be an issue. However sometimes I like to smoke all day and keep the high going, those nights when the high wears off, I feel a bit light-headed and dizzy which is an uncomfortable feeling. It wears off if you give it a break. Other than that, I highly recommend this to first time smokers that want a classic stoney, relaxed high with stress relief, pain relief and a more interesting experience in whatever they're doing!

Smoked about a quarter of this - An Evening Night Time strain for sure Repetitively A clear headed mild headed high with a stronger body high which induces laziness and couch lock. This strain makes me ravenously hungry every time Ive smoked it about 20-30 mins in, even though I’ve just eaten a meal prior to consumption a snack is always had. Didn’t make me as thirsty as other strains The high ends with a stronger body burn out leaving you kinda unmotivated and tired. Great for sleep, or lazy evenings inside.
