What is Indica?

Marijuana is one of the world’s oldest crops, with its cultivation dating back over 6000 years. The Indica strain of cannabis was discovered in 1783 and originated in the Middle East, specifically in the Hindu Kush mountains (strains with “kush” in their name are primarily Indica). Having grown in a much more hostile, rocky environment, the plant evolved with several unique characteristics.

To stay protected from the harsh conditions it developed in Morocco, India, and Afghanistan, cannabis Indica produces resin, an organic, sticky substance packed with cannabinoids. For this reason, the strain is extremely potent and has been found to have several medicinal benefits, including pain relief, appetite stimulation, and muscle relaxation.

The Cannabis Strain

Indica is one of two primary strains of cannabis and originated in the Middle East and Eastern Asia. A naturalist from France named Jean-Baptiste Lamark 1785 was the first westerner to document the existence of the cannabis strain to which he gave the name Indica in honour of India.

At the time, the cannabis strain primarily grew in and near India. However, Lamark later learned it also thrived in southern and western Asia. He described the cannabis Indica plant as short, conical, and thick with branches.

Other early sources of Indica include Middle Eastern nations, like Afghanistan, Tibet, and Pakistan. Pakistan was formerly a northwestern India region before separating and creating its nation in the mid-20th century. 

Neighbouring Afghanistan and its Hindu Kush mountains were especially noted as a source of cannabis, which is why the Hindu Kush is one of the oldest and most popular Indica strains today.

Brief History of Indica in Canada

The use of various Sativa and Indica strains in Canada was minimal, even though the nation banned their cultivation and use in 1923. Cannabis use remained relatively unheard of until marijuana became more popular in the 1960s.

A small black market for cannabis surfaced in the 1960s that lax law enforcement enabled despite a maximum penalty of six months imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. Still, the use of Sativa and Indica in Canada remained very small.

A governmental inquiry by the Le Dain Commission in 1972 completed a three-year study of cannabis use in Canada and recommended decriminalization. However, it did not recommend legalization.

The legalization effort did not occur until two committees in the two houses of the Canadian Parliament in 2002 recommended allowing limited cultivation and possession of no more than 30 grams, followed by a recommendation for full legalization. A year earlier, Parliament approved the medicinal use of severe illnesses like HIV and cancer, which made it legal for a tiny percentage of the population.

Finally, in October 2018, cannabis became legal for all adults in Canada 2018. Authorized retailers can purchase hybrids, Sativa, and Indica in Canada. You even can buy Indica online.

Medical Benefits of Indica

Indica strains are especially beneficial for those who suffer from nausea, pain, and anxiety. The benefits partly are due to Indica containing more CBD than Sativa or most hybrids. So you can count on getting more medicinal benefits from Indica than from Sativa or many hybrid strains of marijuana.

 Anyone healing from a strain, sprain, or a broken bone could help ease the pain they experience while recovering. The Indica also helps to promote sleep and make it possible to obtain rest as needed. For example, if you have insomnia, many Indica strains could help you to sleep relatively well instead of going through your day in a state of sleep deprivation.

The Right Dosage

The dosage depends on what ails you and what your desired effects might be. For example, one or two tokes from a bong, pipe, or joint could be all you need. However, if you have higher tolerance or are mainly suffering from pain, you would need to take more than someone who is an occasional user.

The effects of the high that you get from Indica strains generally vary based on the terpenes and the potency of the strain you are using. Terpenes are compounds contained within marijuana that provide their specific effects. Therefore, you can use them to obtain particular effects from the high while addressing your medicinal concerns.

The Good

The general pros and cons of Indica are reasonably straightforward. The pros are the ability to relax, relieve anxiety, and lessen any pain you might feel. Indica also helps to stimulate that appetite to help you overcome an eating disorder that might make it difficult to eat regularly. The ability to overcome insomnia also helps to make Indica a prevalent strain among people who have trouble sleeping.

The Bad

The cons of using Indica often are its effects that can make you sleepy and less active. The ability to stimulate your appetite might lead to overeating, and the drowsy effect might lessen your productivity. 

The High

Indicas produce a heavy, highly sedative, and relaxing body high that is often called “being stoned” and is what most people expect being high is like. Because of their powerful psychoactive and calming effects, indicas are perfect for relaxing or night-time use.

If you’ve been smoking Indicas, you would know that they’re basically ‘organic sleeping pills’ because of how sleepy and rested you feel. The indica high is basically a body high, where your entire body falls into a calm, slow, sedated state that is very different from the head high that people experience when they consume a Sativa strain.

Common ‘high’ effects include:

  • Heavy body high
  • Sedation
  • Heady psychoactive effects such as time distortion
  • Increased appetite (munchies)
  • Improved sleep
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Headache, migraine and chronic pain alleviation 

Different Indica Strains

Pure Indica strains have helped to make Canada’s legal market genuinely remarkable. The strains are grown using sanitary conditions and scientific precision to ensure the best possible results. Some batches might be especially good, but they all are first-rate and utterly free of contaminating substances commonly accompanying products sold on the black market.

Some of the most popular Indica strains have been around for a long time. Others are more recent innovations. Still, others are Indica-dominant hybrids that combine the best aspects of the Indica and Sativa strains from which they are made. The following are three examples of the best Indica strains Canada dispensaries offer:

Hindu Kush 

It is one of the original Indica strains grown in Pakistan and Afghanistan’s namesake Hindu Kush mountains. The climate in which it originated spurred the natural development of a thick coat of crystalized trichomes. The strain has a sweet taste and an earthy aroma and helps to calm nerves while lessening nausea and stress.

Afghan Kush

is another of the original Indica strains from which many of the current genetically modified varieties originated. The strain originated in the Hindu Kush mountains and benefits from centuries of improvement. Afghan Kush is the strain used to create the former black Afghani hashish that became a legendary substance. The strain is noted for its large buds that contain a lot of resin and significantly reduce stress and anxiety.

Grandaddy Purple

Granddaddy Purple is a famous Indica strain derived from a combination of Afghan Kush, skunk, and Mendo purps. It is one of the best strains created by California growers and produces deeply purple, oversized buds with white crystals containing lots of resin. It is a very flavorful Indica strain and produces a euphoric high combined while greatly reducing stress.

Indica vs. Sativa vs. Hybrids

Indica and Sativa are the two general types of cannabis from which various strains are grown. The many strains include many that are strictly Indica or Sativa. The strains also include hybrids of the two that often are either Indica-dominant or Sativa-dominant.

Experienced cannabis users think of Indica as providing more body buzz that helps you relax and sleep. Longtime cannabis users also generally say Sativa is uplifting and helps keep them energetic.

Indica

Indica strains often are ideal for handling anxiety and enabling you to sleep. In general terms, Indica works best for people who want to relax and better regulate their sleep. If you have insomnia and are experiencing body aches and pains, Indica strains typically are better for you.

Sativa

Sativa generally works better when you are active during daylight hours. It does not make you sleepy and can help to keep you energized. Sativa is best for those who need to get things done without interfering with your ability to focus.

Origins of Sativa, Indica, and Hybrids

Sativa is native to Central and South America and is known for its tall stalks, fluffy buds, and long, thin leaves. Many popular Sativa strains have become legendary, including Colombian Gold and Red Bud. Sativa is relatively new compared to Indica.

Indica originates in the Hindu Kush mountains and is known for its potency and relatively short growing cycles. The plant is shorter than Sativa plants and grows thicker, fatter buds that generally contain more resin and CBD.

Hybrid describes the crossing of Sativa and Indica strains to produce an entirely new strain. Hybrid marijuana is a genetically modified plant created to provide the advantages of the various strains while reducing their potentially negative effects.

Understanding Cannabinoids and Terpenes

THC generally does not provide medicinal benefits. Instead, those benefits come from the cannabinoids and terpenes that cannabis products typically contain.

What are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are better known as CBD and are beneficial compounds contained within cannabis. Cannabinoids interact with the users’ receptors to help alleviate various physical effects, including pain, nausea, and anxiety.

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are natural compounds in various marijuana strains that help to produce medicinal and recreational effects. The quality of the high and medical benefits are greatly affected by terpenes. So are the smell and flavour of the marijuana.

How to Use Cannabinoids and Terpene

The combination of CBD and terpenes help to deliver truly beneficial outcomes from using cannabis. Whether you prefer Indica, Sativa, or a hybrid, the levels of CBD and the dominant terpenes can make a big difference in the overall impact and effect.

What to buy: Indica or Sativa?

You can choose Indica, Sativa, or a hybrid that contains both to get the desired effect from cannabis. Indica is especially useful for people undergoing chemotherapy and

If Indica generally makes you tired, you likely would not want to use it during the hours that you need to be alert and get work done. However, when it is time to rest and get some sleep, your Indica could help make that happen.

Sativa is generally better when you want to stay alert and think more clearly while getting things done. A hybrid can help offset the adverse effects of a purely Indica or Sativa strain so that you do not.

Your tolerance to cannabis will affect the medicinal effects you obtain from what you choose and how you use it. For example, if you only imbibe occasionally and have relatively low tolerance, you will receive more potent effects than if you are a habitual user of marijuana.

The dosage you use will depend on your tolerance, the potency of the marijuana, and the desired effect. You might just inhale a couple of puffs of flower, concentrate on helping soothe aches and pains, or settle any nausea you might experience. If you want an excellent night’s sleep, you might smoke or consume more edibles to help ensure you get some good rest.

Consuming Cannabis

You can consume cannabis by smoking the flower with a pipe, bong, or marijuana cigarette. You also could obtain concentrates that you can vaporize or use an item like a glass nectar collector that you heat on one end with a torch lighter until it is glowing orange. Then, place the orange-hot end near the concentrate and inhale as the hot tip melts and burns the concentrate.

Many people also prefer to use edibles, which eliminate any lung irritation caused by smoke inhalation or even vaping. Edibles such as candies and drinks take longer to have the desired effect, but digestion helps convert the THC into a more potent and medicinal form.

Your body chemistry likely will affect how Indica, Sativa, or a hybrid works after you inhale or ingest it. For example, if you have a slow metabolism, it likely will take longer for the full medicinal effects to take hold than if you have a more active metabolism.

Edibles are especially prone to variation due to body chemistry. The full effects will not be felt until the THC passes through the liver during digestion. It could take up to two hours for your body to properly digest edibles and achieve the desired effect.
