About Critical Kush
Critical Kush is an indica from Barney’s Farm, created by crossing Critical Mass with OG Kush. It became a popular choice among home growers and consumers alike, and it is available in many US states and across Canada.
The aroma is earthy and woody, with spicy, herbal notes and a hint of pine. Buds tend to be large, dense and olive green, layered with frosty trichomes and orange hairs. Myrcene often provides the deep, earthy base, caryophyllene adds a peppery spice, and pinene can lend a fresh, foresty edge.
Critical Kush is commonly described as relaxed, sleepy and hungry. Many people save it for nighttime, when a heavy body feel and a slow, couch-friendly pace match the end of the day. THC usually ranges from 18% to 25%, with little CBD, and potency varies by grower and batch.
Critical Kush tends to suit people who want a classic, heavy indica for evenings at home. Start low, go slow, and plan to stay in, since the effects are often reported as strongly sedating. Use WhereLeaf to find Critical Kush at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
