Critical Mass is a potent <a href="/strains/lists/category/indica">indica</a> marijuana strain made by crossing <a href="/strains/afghani">Afghani</a> and <a href="/strains/skunk-1">Skunk #1</a>. In small doses, this strain will have you <a href="/strains/lists/effect/creative">feeling creative</a> and calm. In large doses, you&#39;ll likely find yourself <a href="/strains/lists/effect/sleepy">feeling sleepy</a> and in a couchlock. Critical mass gets its name because of its ability to reach &quot;critical mass&quot; in terms of growing. When growing, branches of this strain tend to snap off from the heavy weight of its buds - which are dense, heavy and tasty. The downside of Critical Mass is that this strain is particularly susceptible to mold, so growers have to be extra cautious with humidity. Flowering time for Critical Mass is approximately 6-8 weeks. This strain originated from the breeder Mr. Nice Seed Bank.

Tips for Growing Critical Mass Cannabis

The First Annual Barcelona Social Clubs Cannabis Cup: And the Winners Are…

The Spark: Portugal. The Man’s Kyle O’Quin on Creativity and Pairing Beethoven With Blue Dream

I currently have a brain tumor and this was recommended to help as it had a high cbd and wasn't too high of a thc for me being new to the game( and obviously unwell)  I also currently have been suffering from a horrible speech impediment that sounded like a female Forest Gump/stroke patient and I had had that problem from the tumor. I took two small hits off this strain and for four hours my completely normal speech came back!!!!! My leg arm and face numbness and tingling disappeared. I felt happy ( even though they just told me I've got a frigging brain tumor this  morning ) I got to talk to my daughter for her birthday in my normal voice and not scare her which made her so happy because she thought I was all better and at least healing! And it gave me hope!!!! I was not super high- I felt pleasant, functional, energetic, and ready to fight this fight for my family and I! Honestly- I could be a poster child for marijuana- if you hear my voice not on the weed and immediately following one or two hits!?!? Night and day!!!!! It was a miracle! That's what it can do for my nerve tissue in my brain then I don't doubt it's helping my tumor as well! God I didn't wait for the doctors to get their crap together they are still working on making phone calls.... I'm sure they will catch up to me at some point... Eye roll. Maybe by the time they actually get surgery scheduled I won't have much left 😜


If you have a couch, you will be on it,doing something that will seem way more fun than it should be.

Very strong body high for LONG time. Smoked a joint with a friend, and was tripping for a good hour and a half. 
The body high makes you feel everything around you and gives a slight feeling of dizziness, but not very serious.
Some mind high as well. There was one moment in which I was eating chips and felt like I could see them inside my mouth and kept imagining different scenarios in which the chips were being chewed.
All in all, great strain, maybe the best I've ever smoked.

CRITICAL MASS - Indica Dominant
                                  Very high in both THC and CBD                                                                      Buds were very beautiful, fresh, and my nose thanked them for the sweet smell they gave off.  
Smoked out of a glass Chillum- Was not expecting the taste and flavor that this Indica gave off as the smell of the buds themselves mislead me, a very interesting and good thing. 
I had a very empowering taste of the Redwoods, springtime, and citrus that kicked the back of my throat, shocked me at first, and amazed me next.
Within 45 seconds I felt a very deep and calming, soothing wave of euphoria flowing through me as my eyes began to let me know I was just right. 
I smoked less than a half of a gram, that is all and it was plenty. (I have a very high tolerance)  
It seems I am maintaining the same balance between mind and body relaxation and can function if need be.
I would recommend usage for PTSD, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ADD/ADHD, SEIZURES, MIGRAINES, FIBROMYALGIA, CROHN'S, CANCER, MEDICATION SIDE EFFECTS, APPETITE, SHAKINESS, DT’S, AGORAPHOBIA… Any other’s I left out I apologize, just ask.

CBD is truly the ting to THCs yang. It adds POWERFUL painkiller to what indicas normally would have. It wipes my IBS symptoms out PERIOD! Great for wiping out / minimizing physical and intractable pain. With the high, it's chronic!! Hits the head hard! CBD adds an interesting effect when you space out. CBD removes munchies and paranoia. Strong body high BUT CBD adds interesting effect, normally couch lock hard, but this is light and floaty. Is a great body high. Great medication for physical and intractable pain. Effects are just FANTASTIC!! More CBD in our cannabis like this please. 

This "dirt weed" as some one very ignorant  person said in a popular review, is some of the best medicine around. I'm assuming he used the term "dirt weed" because it's a cross of Afghani and Skunk 1, two very old school strains.  in actuality the flavor is very "classic" and pleasent, VERY earthy and kushy with very slight hints of Diesal and berry. 
The high is soothing and relaxing, a really sleepy chilled out high, great for anxiety and pain.
Just smoked a couple bong rips feel pretty creative, but lazy, not to the point of couch lock but very lazy, just a great Stoney old school high. 
One thing I want to add is its not much of.  Carebral high, which is another thing that ignorant reviewer complained about, but the euphoria is there. 
why even have a Medcard if your going to stick your nose up to certain strains? Just cause a strain dosent get you "fucked up" dosent mean it's not a good strain, it makes it a better strains in slot of ways. 

TLDR: Classic Stoney strain, great for anxiety and pain relief, very earth Kush flavor with hints of Diesal and berry.

Holy shit dude i love this strain, this strain is one of my new personal favorites. it has a nice sweet earthy taste. And also very smelly, but smells good. The high from this in a intense indica high, best i ever had!!! I HIGHLY recommend.
