CBD to THC makes Critical Mass great for pain relief or
for those looking to catch a great body buzz. This strain
is easy for home growers to cultivate, though humidity
levels during the late fl owering stage must be kept in
check so the large, dense buds do not mold.
Steven Hawking Kush - 22% CBD
Steven Hawking Kush is a cross between Harle-Tsu
and Sin City Kush. Like Critical Mass, this strain has a
roughly 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC. Medical patients use
this high CBD strain to cope with Lou Gehrig’s Disease
(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS), multiple sclero-
sis, muscular dystrophy, and other conditions involving
involuntary muscular contractions and/or spasms.
AC/DC - 20% CBD
AC/DC has quickly become one of the most sought
after CBD strains in the medical marijuana community.
AC/DC contains very little THC (1-6%) which means
there are little to no psychoactive side effects when us-
ing AC/DC. This strain has become the strain of choice
for many medical marijuana patients who suffer from
epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and stress.
Valentine X - 17% CBD
Valentine X’s high CBD percentage can be attributed to
being an offspring of AC/DC. This strain produces a
pungent, citrusy skunk aroma and is great for relieving
stress, depression, nausea and chronic pain. Valentine
X is as popular among recreational users as it is among
medical users because of its high percentage of THC.
The high percentage of CBD in Valentine X makes this
strain useful for treating epilepsy, infl ammation, and
seizure disorders.
