What Are Indica’s Known For ?
Indica weed comes from the middle east- it first grew in the harsh, dry climate of the Hindu Kush mountains: an 800-kilometer mountain range that stretches from Afghanistan into Pakistan, as well as India and Turkey. That is, of course, why many popular Indica strains are named as such.
Indica plants also look very different from sativa plants during the cultivation cycle, you can observe Indica plants grow shorter and bushier, with thicker stems and chunky leaves. When they bud, the buds are thick and dense. They have a shorter growing cycle than sativa and can be grown in colder climates. The quick lifecycle and higher yields of Indica’s make them very abundant and easy to buy online.
Indica strains are also known to have a higher CBD to THC ratio, but that does not mean they have a low THC content. They are known more for their relaxation and pain-relieving properties and are better consumed at night- or at least somewhere you are comfortable getting cozy.
What Are The Effects Of An Indica ?
Indica is known for its body effects- less cerebral than its opposition sativa, cannabis Indica strains induce a body high, providing utmost relaxation, are used as a sleep aid to treat sleep disorders or insomnia, and, importantly, for pain relief. It’s used to manage pain, including inflammation, and many users report its use in treating arthritis pain. It’s also used for patients in hospitals as an appetite stimulant. If you decide to buy Indica weed online, be sure you have snacks on hand- the munchies are a common side effect! Some Indica weed strains, such as Black Diamond, will slowly put you to sleep while others, like Death Bubba, can knock you out, it really depends what you are looking for.
Indica’s can also help with nausea and have been known to help with hangovers. It can also be used to manage anxiety and stress. Indica strains are best used later in the day or at night, when you can unwind. Indica is sometimes known as ‘in-da-couch’ and depending on the affects you desire, it’s important to learn the genetic compounds to find the right effects for you.
If you are wondering ‘does Indica give you more energy,’ the answer is no. You will find that when it comes to sativa vs Indica, sativa strains provide more uplifting and energetic effects, while Indica’s are known to be sedative, and thus used for different purposes.
How Long Does Indica Take To Kick In ?
That depends on a few things; how much you consume, the THC content, your tolerance, and your size. It also depends how you consume it- are you smoking, vaping, dabbing or eating it? Are you rolling a joint or hitting a bong? Are you smoking the strongest Indica strains, or a mild hybrid? All of these variations play a part in the effect.
Generally, a dab or a bong will have the quickest effect, almost immediate. This is followed by smoking, which generally takes 2-10 minutes, and then lastly, edibles, which take the longest at 30-60 minutes. Sometimes, users report ‘not feeling anything’ with edibles and then take more, not realizing the effects have yet to hit. The effects of edibles also last longer, possibly lasting anywhere from up to 6-24 hours.
What Are The Strongest Indicas ?
Marijuana is growing progressively and substantially more potent all the time. Currently, cannabis with the highest THC content range from 7 and 30% tetrahydrocannabinol (or, as we know it, THC). In 2003, it was 6.4%, and in 1976, it was just 0.72%, according to this study from the National Library of Medicine. Growers are focusing on producing more potent weed, mixing strains known to be high in THC and selectively breeding to create particular genetics. Thus, some of the OG classics such as Kush have actually been around since the 1980’s but have evolved over the decades into the high-loaded THC superstars they are today. Some Indica strains boast up to even 32% THC content, however, such strains should be used only by experienced users.
As a rule, you can expect the best Indica strains with ‘bubba’ in the name to be highly sedative and strong, and any Indica strain with ‘death’ in the title to pack an even bigger punch- such as Death Bubba, which we recommend for sleep disorders and insomnia- definitely the best Indica strain for sleep. (for more information about Death Bubba, please see ‘what are the best Indica strains 2022’ below).
Whether you are smoking pre-rolls or popcorn indica buds , we offer the best and make it easy to buy Indica marijuana online. If you prefer Indica weed gummies or Indica weed chocolates, it’s a body high that will take longer to kick in and is preferred by many people who don’t like to inhale any potentially dangerous carcinogens. Again, if you are an inexperienced user, please use caution with pure Indica strains as they can be heavy-hitting.

The dominant terpene in Bubba Kush is caryophyllene, which provides not only anti-inflammatory effects, but may also support the immune system, promote digestive health and help alleviate chronic pain. It’s a peppery terpene that may remind you of cinnamon or cloves.
The unique thing about caryophyllene is its relationship with our endocannabinoid system, and its ability to bind to CB2 receptors, making Bubba Kush an excellent, and one of the finest Indica strains to host medical benefits.
How does it all work? The receptors in our body that make up the endocannabinoid system are broken into two major types: CB1 and CB2. While CB1 receptors are located mostly in our central nervous systems and brains (and produces the euphoric effect when a cannabinoid like THC is ingested), CB2 receptors are primarily located in our peripheral organs. Activating these receptors provides benefits such as reducing inflammation and regulating immune signaling.
The second strongest Indica strain on the list is Death Bubba – Combining Death Star with Bubba Kush comes with rave reviews. Its THC levels are high- between 25 and 27%. Imagine what they would have thought in the 70’s when THC levels were under 1%! This purple Indica strain has deep purple hues and the high THC content makes it an excellent sleep aid. In fact, insomnia is one of its main uses. Users report it is one of the best indica strains for sleep. Bubba Kush and Death Bubba remain in the top 5 Indica strains year over year.
And it wouldn’t be a list without Pink Kush– a slightly gentler Indica strain, Pink Kush is generally around 20-25% THC and 1% CBD, adding to the relaxing affects you will experience. Its lineage is a mixed bag: OG Kush X Unknown California strain X Lemon Thai X ChemDog X Hindu Kush. Clearly, the grower wanted something very particular, which is why we suggest Pink Kush for pain relief. Its effects can last a long time, so give yourself time to relax, de-stress, and get comfy- you won’t make any moves for a while. Remember that Kush strains can knock you out, so please use them responsibly.
If you are looking for something that will gently lull you off into a state of relaxed slumber and not couch-lock you, consider Black Diamond- it’s a classic that will get you the sleep you deserve but in a gentle manner.
Secret Smokes Best Indica Strains for Activities
We recommend the slurricane strain if you’ve had a long day and want to kick back, relax, and have the best sleep of your life. Grape Ape, with deep purple leaves surrounding the buds, has a remarkable grape smell and is perfect for melting away stress and anxiety. Frosted Cherry Cookies is as sweet as it sounds. It’s calming and mellow, but you can go about your day and won’t sink into the couch. The Black Diamond strain is great for being social- especially if there is food involved! Try a few different strains out to find what is right for you.
100% Indica Strains
Some people ask us what strains are 100 percent Indica, and that is changing all the time. Now, the majority of strains are hybrid, as growers are combining genetics, they know will create powerful offspring. However, many hybrid strains are Indica-dominant, and almost entirely Indica, such as our violator indica strain. If you can get your hands on a purple Indica strain like Purple Kush or Hindu Kush, those are classic 100 percent Indica strains.
What Makes Indica Different
Generally, Indica plants contain more CBD than THC. The high is more of a body-high than a cerebral, uplifting high like sativa. There are many uses for Indica strains: relaxation, pain-relief, nausea and to stimulate appetite. If you are wondering what are the strongest Indicas, that depends.. Indica’s can vary in composition, but you will want one with a high level of THC, such as Animal Mints, Frosted Cherry Cookies, or Slurricane Indica flower to smoke. You can find more top-shelf Indica strains in our vape category. Alternatively, if you consider a product like shatter or sugar wax, that will provide a stronger effect of up to 80% THC.

The Entourage Effect
What do you think about when you think about weed? Many of our minds go immediately to the two main compounds- THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). However, marijuana contains so much more. In fact, cannabis hosts dozens of other compounds, as well as terpenes, such as caryophyllene that we mentioned previously. Finally, there are flavonoids and other Phyto cannabinoids like THCA and CBC. It’s how they work together that truly modulates the overall psychoactive effects of the plant. Indicas can sometimes but rately give you a bit of energy but it will depend on the strain and the precise compound combo. Some Indicas will provide a sedative effect, while others can make you social. Our Nuken strain, for example, is a great strain to use in social situations.
When we ingest marijuana flower (or other full-spectrum cannabis extracts, like shatter or edibles, our body absorbs a host of botanical compounds, each with different benefits and effects. And some react differently when paired with other compounds. The pure amount of different synergistic combinations is dizzying.
The “Entourage Effect”: Terpenes Coupled with Cannabinoids for the Treatment of Mood Disorders and Anxiety Disorders, a study published from the National Library of Medicine explores the use of cannabis-derived compounds for mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and bi-polar. In previous scientific research, combinations between terpenes and cannabinoids were not considered. Now we are at a breakthrough in scientific research where we are actively pursuing knowledge around all the parts of marijuana and its effects. This study demonstrates how these various cannabis compounds can work together, ultimately helping avoid the negative effects of pharmaceuticals while still treating mood disorders, especially for those who do not react well to conventional medicine.

In short, it’s the sum of all the parts that leads to the magic of cannabis.
