Critical Mass Strain Information

Critical Mass is an 80/20 indica-sativa hybrid that clocks in at around 19%–22% THC and roughly 5% CBD. While this strain’s moniker makes it sound like some super potent herb, it was actually named for its massive, dense, heavy buds that tend to break the branches of the plants they grow on. That’s not to say Critical Mass doesn’t deliver a heavy, soothing, sedating high, though.

A moderate dose of this relaxation-inducing bud will quickly lift your mood and sink your tush into your couch. You’ll feel blissful, gooey, and probably a bit munchy, too, and might eventually find yourself drifting off to sleep.
