Anyone who’s truly into cannabis has likely heard of Critical Plus, a popular strain developed in Spain by Dinafem Seeds. While the saying “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” is certainly true, Dinafem decided to mess with this strain anyway and created a backcross called Critical Plus 2.0. If you’re wondering if it’s twice as good as the original, we’re pleased to say yes.

Critical Plus 2.0 averages at a 20% THC potency and should be used with caution to avoid paranoia. Her nugs are very long and thin and feature orange pistils along with fine amber-colored trichomes. Sweet and spicy are rolled into one little package here, and as you smoke you’ll experience flavors that include lemon, pine, and spices. If you close your eyes, you’ll likely think of PineSol.

As any good hybrid should, Critical Plus 2.0 takes users on a bit of a ride, lifting them up before gently bringing them down. Individuals note that her initial effects include extreme happiness that seems to permeate every cell in their body, infusing a slight sense of energy and social tendencies into one’s DNA. This phase is somewhat short-lived, however, because as bodily tingles kick in and bring along sensations of arousal, you’ll have a hard time feeling anything except utterly relaxed. If you’re sensitive to cannabis, sleep will come easily.

Calming one’s mind can be a difficult task, and all too often, getting high creates racing and fleeting thoughts. On the contrary, Critical Plus 2.0 takes the edge off with a calming effect that’s great for those who struggle with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Strong physical effects also work their magic in their own way, soothing instances of pain that include migraines, women’s health concerns, and more. Assuming you smoke enough, insomnia will be kicked to the curb, but again users have to remember that anxiety could ensue if you overdo it.

Dinafem Seeds is incredible for so many reasons, but one of them includes their willingness to make their strains available for home growers along with providing thorough cultivation tips. Critical Plus 2.0 is a hearty strain that will withstand mold, mildew, and pests, and thrives equally well inside or outdoors. What’s more, those who are impatient will be thrilled to find that she matures in as little as 6 to 7 weeks.

She may be a bit difficult to find in some parts of the country, but at the very least you can grow your own Critical Plus 2.0 at home. Enjoy this pungent strain at the end of a long day or perhaps even on a lazy weekend, and put your feet up as her effects fill you with joy and a deep sense of relaxation.
