About Critical Plus

Critical Plus is a hybrid strain that comes from a cross of Skunk 1 with Big Bud. You may also see it sold as Critical +, Cr+. People who try it most often describe feeling creative, relaxed and uplifted.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 3 flower samples tested in 2021 came in at a median of 14.8% total THC (the middle half ranged from 14.4% to 17.8%). That is on the milder side for modern flower. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.

Aroma, flavour and terpenes

Its reported terpene profile is led by limonene, with caryophyllene and myrcene. Limonene is known for bright citrus-peel freshness, while caryophyllene adds black pepper and warm spice. Consumers most often describe the flavour as woody, pungent and skunk.

Reported effects

Beyond feeling creative, reviewers also mention feeling happy and focused. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with stress, depression and pain. The side effects mentioned most are paranoia, headaches and anxiety. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
