About indica strains

Indica is the traditional name for cannabis with compact plants and dense buds. In everyday shopping it signals a calming, body-focused experience, often paired with earthy, sweet or fuel-like aromas from terpenes such as myrcene.

Plenty of modern strains are crosses, so the best check is the product description: the stated indica/sativa ratio and the terpene or flavour notes tell you more than the label alone.
