Indica Strain Description
Cannabis Indica is one of the two main types of cannabis, the other being Cannabis Sativa. Originating from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, Indica plants have adapted to harsh climates and first-time weather conditions by growing faster, flowering earlier, and producing thick layers of protective resin.
Physical Characteristics: Indica plants are known for their short, dense stature and broad leaves. They also have a quicker flowering time compared to Sativa plants. Some Indica strains can turn purple in color when exposed to colder temperatures.
Effects: Indica strains are known for producing a “body high,” leaving you physically relaxed and even sleepy. Marijuana enthusiasts often describe it as producing a feel of being “couch locked,” and use the phrase “in-da-couch” to remember that Indica effects are best enjoyed on the couch¹. Most people prefer Indica effects in the evening.
Aroma: The cannabis Indica plant is known for producing comparatively higher yields, denser buds, and more pungent aromas.
Use: Indica strains are typically used for their calming and sedating effects, making them a popular choice for evening use.
Sativa Dominant Description
Sativa-dominant cannabis strains are known for their tall, slender appearance and long, narrow leaves. They thrive in warm climates and have a longer flowering period compared to their Indica counterparts. Sativa-dominant strains are typically associated with a cerebral, uplifting high that can enhance creativity and energy, making them popular for daytime use. The effects of these strains are not solely determined by their Sativa heritage; they also depend on the plant’s specific chemical composition, including cannabinoids and terpenes, which can vary widely among individual plants. For those interested in exploring the energizing effects of Sativa-dominant strains, it’s important to consider the grower’s and dispensary’s descriptions, as these will provide more detailed information on the expected effects.
