Indica

Cannabis indica is one of the three primary species within the Cannabis genus, alongside Cannabis sativa and Cannabis ruderalis. Cannabis indica type strains are characterized by specific morphological and chemical traits. Generally, Cannabis indica plants are known for their shorter and bushier stature, broader leaves, and shorter flowering cycles compared to Cannabis sativa. Cannabis indica strains are often associated with relaxing and sedative effects. The chemical profile of indica strains typically includes higher levels of CBD (cannabidiol) and other cannabinoids compared to sativa strains. While THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is still present, it is often in lower concentrations than in sativa strains. Consumers often choose indica strains for evening or nighttime use or when seeking relaxation and relief from stress or insomnia. The terpene profile of indica strains can contribute to their distinct flavors and potential therapeutic effects.
