Description of the Indica variety

Cannabis Indica is one of the two main types of cannabis, the other being Cannabis Sativa. Native to the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, Indica plants have adapted to harsh climates and unprecedented weather conditions by growing faster, flowering earlier and producing thick layers of protective resin.

Physical characteristics: Indica plants are known for their small size, density and large leaves. Their flowering is also faster than the Sativa. Some Indica varieties may turn purple when exposed to colder temperatures.

Effects: Indica strains are known for their physical, relaxing and even drowsy effect. Cannabis lovers often describe this sensation as being «stuck on the couch», and use the expression «in-da-couch» to remind you that the Indica effects are more pleasant to savor on couch 1. Most people prefer the Indica effects in the evening.

Aroma: The Indica cannabis plant is known to produce comparatively higher yields, denser buds and more pungent aromas.

Use: Indica strains are generally used for their calming and sedative effects, making them a popular choice for evening use.

Sativa dominant description

Sativa-dominant cannabis strains are known for their tall, slender port and long, narrow leaves. They thrive in warm climates and have a longer flowering period than their Indica counterparts. They are usually associated with a cerebral and stimulating effect, able to stimulate creativity and energy, which makes them popular during the day. The effects of these varieties are not only determined by their Sativa heritage; they also depend on the specific chemical composition of the plant, especially in cannabinoids and terpenes, which can vary considerably from one plant to another. For those wishing to explore the energizing effects of Sativa-dominant strains, it is important to consult the grower and dispensary descriptions as they will provide more detailed information on the expected effects.
