Critical Kush Overview

Make room in your medicine cabinet for a few THC–encrusted nugs of Critical Kush. Created by Barney’s Farm and 2015 Spannabis Cannabis Champions Cup winner, Critical Kush’s potency is due in large part to its parents, Critical Mass and OG Kush—two cultivars renowned for producing a strong and sedating high. Spicy and earthy with a hint of woodiness, this cultivar is a popular choice by many for relieving pain, stress, and insomnia.

Critical Kush Effects & Common Usage

Traditionally rich in THC with levels reaching up to 25%, Critical Kush also contains 1.8% CBD, making it the go-to strain for many to relieve anxiety, pain, and stress.

Sleepy. THC and myrcene are sedating compounds that may cause sleepiness in high doses.

Relaxed. Both limonene and caryophyllene harbor relaxant effects.

Hungry. THC may increases appetite by boosting ghrelin production.

Anxiety. The anxiolytic effects of THC are best experienced in small doses, but myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene may also offer anxiety relief.

Pain. CBD, THC, and the terpenes caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene have potential anti-inflammatory properties and may help with pain relief.

Stress. While THC may be a stress-buster in low doses, myrcene, and limonene have been hailed as a stress reliever in some studies.

Critical Kush Dosage Recommendations

As a more sedating and relaxing cultivar that averages up to 25% THC, Critical Kush is best suited to experienced cannabis consumers. It is best to start with 1-3 puffs and then wait 15 to 30 minutes before consuming more.

The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
