Critical Kush
Read the ride before you spark it
Critical Kush earns its DeePuff fit from 19% THC, a chill evening profile led by Myrcene, and effects that lean calmer and more body-forward.
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.

The aromatic compounds that define this strain's unique characteristics and effects
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique smell, taste, and effects. They work synergistically with cannabinoids in what's known as the "entourage effect" to enhance or modify the overall experience.
