Indica CBD Flower - Indica Effects And Best Indica Strains
All About Indica CBD Strains - Uses, Effects, Examples
If you're looking for a strain that will relax your body and make you feel sleepy, indicas are the way to go. Indica strains are known for their mellow effects and are often used to treat anxiety, pain, and insomnia. In this blog post, we'll discuss the history of indica strains and list some of the best ones out there. We'll also talk about the different effects of indica flowers and how to use them safely and effectively.
The indica cannabis plant is believed to have originated in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's a short, bushy plant that produces large, dense buds with a high THC content. Indica strains are known for their sedative effects and are often used to treat anxiety, pain, and insomnia. They're also popular among hash makers as they tend to produce large amounts of resin used in making hash. In contrast to sativas, indicas grow more quickly and have a stronger odor. They're often grown indoors because they don't need as much light or space as other types of cannabis plants.
Indica strains are typically smoked or eaten in the form of edibles like cookies, brownies, chocolate bars, etc., although some people also use them as an ingredient in tea. The effects of indica flowers are usually felt within minutes after consumption with a peak at around 20-30 minutes and lasting up to two hours or more depending on the amount consumed.
Indica strains may be used for medical benefits such as anxiety relief, pain management, anti-nausea treatment, anti-emetic (anti-vomiting), and sleep promotion. They are also used recreationally to help with depression and stress relief.
One of the best indica CBD strains is Northern Lights, which has a sweet citrus flavor and mellow effects that make it great for chilling out or enjoying some quality time with friends. Other popular indicas include Granddaddy Purple (GDP), Bubba Kush, and OG Kush, all of which are known for their relaxing effects.
Indica flowers can be used in many ways: smoked on their own or mixed with tobacco products like cigarettes; eaten as an edible such as brownies, cookies, etc.; made into a tea by simmering them over low heat with water until just golden brown then strained out before drinking; or mixed with other herbs to create a tincture.
There are many different ways that indica flowers can be used, but the most common ones include smoking and eating them as edibles.
When smoked on their own, they'll provide an immediate feeling of relaxation followed by sleepiness within about 20 minutes after consumption.
When eaten as an edible, indica strains will take longer to kick in and last for several hours.
Indica flowers are also often used medicinally to treat pain, anxiety, depression (including post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD), nausea associated with chemotherapy treatment for cancer patients, sleep disorders such as insomnia or sleep apnea.
Growers on the west coast of the United States brought back some of the original landrace indica strains from Afghanistan, including "Afghani" and "Mazar Sharif" or "Mazar". These cannabis plants grew a lot better in northern California, than did south east asian strains like the ones brought back from Vietnam by war veterans returning from the war in the 1970's.
Crossing these indica genetics, with the longer flowering and more airy bud structure of sativa genetics created many of the popular hybrids we love today, like "OG Kush". Indica's are easy to grow and should be what newbie home growers start with before advancing to more finicky sativas.

Our Kimbo Kush CBD flower strain is quite popular amongst hemp smokers and provides many of the same indica benefits. This hemp strain has a typical indica bud structure with tight conical buds. It's a breeze to trim and produces lots of resin. This is one of the strains we use to make our award winning CBD bubble hash.
If you are dealing with any nagging aches and pains, depression, or anxiety, this CBD buds will effectively minimize those issues. We recommend this potent hemp flower for nighttime consumption, but if you smoke it during the day you may want to pair it with a caffeinated beverage like coffee or tea.
People often associate indica cannabis strain with couch lock, but such is not always the case. Take for instance a strain like "Norther Lights". This cannabis strain actually mimics a sativa in effects, though the buds are dense and resinous like a typical indica. Another indica dominant strain "Grape Ape", has ample CBD, but also tends to have a more uplifting effect on the user. This may be in part to the terpenes present, which also effect the overall experience.
We have spoke before about the fact that some indica act more like sativas and vice versa. That is why you will need to try each hemp or cannabis flower individually and see how your body reacts to it. The old adage that indica are best at night and sativas are best during the day, are only rough guidelines and not rules. As you become an experienced flower smoker, you will learn that are many accessions to these perceived rules of thumb.
