Critical Mass

Available at All Natural Wellness Center in Tacoma.

Critical Mass is an indica-dominant hybrid, bred from Afghani and Skunk #1. For November’s issue, we’re reviewing this strain in two forms, fresh flower and rosin. The flower was phenomenal. Dark-green and purple leaves, with long orange hairs vining off of them, give this bud somewhat of a royal color scheme. White crystals dripping off the leaves serve as jewels on this flower’s crown. The fragrance and flavor are heady and complicated, with a diverse array of notes with each whiff. A complex mix of savory and earthy, sweet and citrusy. Some of us noted hints of fruit and even coffee in the flavor. This flower has something for everyone flavor-wise. When it comes to the after-effects of consumption, Critical Mass provides a potent and incredibly chill and happy effect—all of the relaxation, and none of the stress. We used a water pipe to consume this flower, and the effects were instantaneous, visceral and long-lasting.
