If de-stressing and relaxing are important to you, a sativa cannabis souche may be helpful. Indica strains have been shown to have soothing effects and possibly assist individuals with anxiety and insomnia. You can buy this product in our boutique.
Indica strains are a good complement to Sativa strains, which are renowned for their energizing effects. The words “indica” and “Sativa” are, however, no longer used correctly. There aren’t many distinctions between the two types.
Indicas are known for their pleasant “couchlock” feeling because of the moderate to haut THC content, moderate CDB content, and the presence of terpenes like linalool, myrcene, and humulene. Afghan strains have a chemical makeup that is frequently found in Indica varieties that were incorrectly labeled and designated as “indicas.”
Effects Associated with Indica Strains
Cannabis indica strains are often said to have the following effects:
- Relaxing. People report that cannabis indica strains help their muscles relax and their brains function more slowly.
- Sedating. Many people discover that indica strains put them to sleep, which may be beneficial for individuals who suffer from insomnia.
- Pain-relieving. Indica strains are frequently suggested for those who want to use cannabis to treat chronic or acute pain.
- Appetite-inducing. Yep, the munchies aren’t always a negative thing, especially if you have an undersized appetite as a result of a medical problem or therapy.
- Nausea-soothing. Indicas are known to help with nausea, as well as keeping meals down.
Strawberry Banana
Strawnana, affectionately known as Strawberry Banana, is a hybride strain that mixes Banana Kush and Bubble Gum. Strawberry Banana is high in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), making it an excellent choice for unwinding and catching up on sleep. The term “couchlock effet” was coined after observing effects such as being glued to the sofa after smoking or ingesting cannabis varieties like Strawberry Banana. Sleepy Strawnana works best when you don’t have to go anywhere or do anything.
Hindu Kush
Hindu Kush is a pure indica strain that may be worth considering if you’re seeking for a genuine (landrace) indica variety. Hindu Kush is a well-known hash product, originating in the mountainous region between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Earthy sandalwood scents calm tension in some people while acting as a natural sleeping pill in others. Hindu Kush, like GSC, has a 19% THC concentration and high amounts of myrcene, which means that after little consumption, you can expect to feel couchlocked.
Hindu Kush indica strains are from the Hindu Kush mountain range in Central Asia. During the 1960s, Hindu Kush strains were prized for their quick life cycle, large resin production, and high-quality dense buds because they had been brought from the East to the West. Today’s Kush strains are a keystone of modern breeding. For decades, Sensi Seeds’ Hindu Kush strain has been maintained while being selectively inbred to create a cannabis plant that performs consistently well indoors.
Ice
ICE is one of our most popular indica strains. When it’s time to harvest, your plants will seem as though they’re coated in an icy frost. Once harvest arrives, the buds of ICE grow covered in an ice frosting. nICE matures its plentiful, sparkling buds in as little as 8 weeks from seed (8-10 weeks on average), but many growers like to extend the bloom stage for another 10 weeks or more. A combination of Northern Lights, Afghan, and Skunk provides a spicy, earthy flavor with a luxurious high.
Bubble Kush
Our adorable Bubble Kush is a hybrid plant with an indica dominance and 19 percent THC. This mystical combination of Bubble Gum and OG Kush provides you with a relaxing, natural sense of euphoria as you explore your mind’s corners. Our Bubble Kush grows up to 140cm tall indoors and 200cm tall outdoors, producing copious harvests in both situations.
Pastèque
Watermelon is easily one of our top indica strains. This delectable cultivar is descended from Watermelon OG S1 and has 80 percent indica genes. Her high THC content of 22% works in conjunction with fruity terpenes to produce a robust physical high that overcomes every muscle in the body. You’ll feel a surge of relaxation wash over you within minutes after smoking this strain. Aside from that, this type provides excellent yields. Indoor plants can produce up to 500 grams per square meter after just 7-8 weeks of flowering time. Their outdoor relatives mature to give 400-500 grams each plant ready for harvest in October.
Blackberry Kush
It’s common for people who encounter Blackberry Kush to fall in love at first sight. The leaves, buds, and even the roots of Blackberry Kush are a deep purple color. Furthermore, they have a strong, redolent fragrance of berries and fresh earth that may be smelled in both the flower’s scent and smoke.
Blackberry Kush is a high-THC indica strain with a rich, berry flavor and scent. It has 20 percent THC content and produces a notably soothing Indica high somewhat offset by some Sativa cerebral stimulation and euphoria. One of the most popular indica strains.
It is best cultivated indoors since it is susceptible to parasites and does not tolerate bad weather. To realize their full potential, the plants must be trimmed and fed with a lot of nutrients. Indoor yields are modest; they range from 14 to 28 ounces per square meter.
What are the Best Indica Strains to Help You Sleep?
Some people find that high-THC indica strains, such as Hindu Kush and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), aid in falling asleep. However, this anti-insomnia effect is not uniform; some individuals who consume indica strains may feel energized afterwards. For many persons, CBD is essential for a good night’s sleep, and the distinction between indica and sativa isn’t significant. In low doses, CBD can have stimulating effects, which means higher dosages are needed for sedative effects.
A Quick Note about Strains
Keep in mind that the effects of strains aren’t always predictable when you’re reading about them. A strain developed by one firm may feel completely different than another company’s version of the same strain.
If you discover a strain that works well for you, read up on its other features. What are the major terpenes in it? What is the THC to CBD ratio? Is there anything else mentioned on the package, like CBG or CBN?
It’s also worth noting that everyone’s cannabis experience is different. This varies based on their physiology and past experiences. If you consume marijuana often, for example, your tolerance for THC will be higher. Your experience may differ significantly depending on whether you’re in a familiar setting with friends or alone in a new, unknown environment when consuming marijuana.
What are Some Good Cannabis Indica Strains for Anxiety?
Strawberry Banana, Wedding Cake, and the perennial favorite Northern Lights are all indica cannabis strains that people utilize to relieve anxiety symptoms. Before starting a cannabis therapy for anxiety, check with your doctor. Continue taking any prescribed drugs unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
For anxiety, it’s important to microdose THC and avoid using too much cannabinoid. CBD and relaxing terpenes like myrcene and linalool, which have anti-anxiety properties, may also be beneficial.
