The Green Room: Indica

Indica strains are renowned for their ability to induce a deeply relaxing body-high, often leading to a couch-locked, lethargic state. These strains are commonly used to alleviate conditions like sleep apnea, depression, headaches, and pain relief. Indicas are particularly effective in providing body relaxation, stress reduction, and anxiety relief. Known for their sedative qualities, these strains typically lead to drowsiness and sleepiness. Indica strains are rich in CBD, which contributes to the muscle relaxation and calming effects, while THC adds the psychoactive “trip” experience. Often consumed before meals, they are also known to stimulate appetite. Indicas are especially helpful for those dealing with chronic pain and sleep deprivation, offering an intensely relaxing, narcotic-like experience with a full-body high. These strains belong to the Cannabaceae family and are best smoked in the evening or before bedtime.
