indica

Relaxing marijuana type

Indica is one of two main varieties of cannabis, the other being sativa.

Indica strains are associated with relaxing, sedative effects—the "body high" that makes users sleepy or couch-locked: I prefer indica for nighttime use.

The plants grow shorter and bushier than sativas.

The indica/sativa distinction, while culturally entrenched, oversimplifies cannabis chemistry; effects depend more on specific cannabinoid and terpene profiles than on variety.
