Cannabis 101: Indica Flower (aka Indica weed)

 

What is Cannabis?

Also known as marijuana, weed, ganja, and pot, cannabis is one of Canada’s oldest drugs and has been used for centuries because of its numerous medicinal properties. Marijuana contains chemical compounds called cannabinoids such as THC, CBD and CBN, which interact with the endocannabinoid system to provide a slew of benefits. There are literally thousands of strains of cannabis in Canada alone and can be categorized into 3 main groupings: Indica, Sativa and Hybrid strains.

 

What are Indica Weed Strains?

Indica weed strains are a subgrouping of the cannabis family and are typically characterized as being short and bushy plants that flower quicker than sativa strains. Indica flower generally has medium-sized densely packed buds. These buds are known to induce sensations of euphoria, relaxation and sedation, and they are known to provide more or a body high. 

 

What is the Difference Between Indica, Sativa and Hybrid Strains?

Sativa weed strains provide more of a heady and cerebral high with uplifting and stimulating effects. Sativa plants tend to grow much taller and take longer to finish than indica strains. Hybrid weed strains possess traits from both sativa and indica genetics. 

 

What does Being High on Indica Flower Feel Like?

Indica weed strains commonly induce body high sensations such as relaxation, euphoria and sedation. This is due to the increased levels of CBD and CBN found in many indica weed strains. It is therefore recommended that indica dominant strains be used during the nighttime, or at times where there is plenty of time to just sit around and relax.

 

What are the Medical Uses for Indica Weed?

Indica weed has been used by medical marijuana patients for decades to ease aches and pains, inflammation, stress and muscle spasms. Also, it is common for indica weed to be used to help increase appetite and sleepiness. 

 

What are the Side Effects of Indica Strains?

One of the most beneficial things about marijuana is that there are rarely any major side effects. The most common negative effects include dry mouth, red eyes and an increase in blood pressure. However, these are normally very minor and go away pretty quickly. It should be noted that dizziness, nausea, lethargy, paranoia, anxiousness and headaches can occur if taking too much marijuana.

 

Is Cannabis Safe?

Cannabis is known to be a much safer alternative to many other drugs and other substances. However, with smoking anything into the lungs comes risk. Although, studies show that cannabis is far less dangerous than tobacco. Cannabis can lead to intoxication, therefore it is never recommended to operate any heavy machinery or undertake any dangerous task while under the influence.

 

How to Smoke Indica Flower

The most common way to smoke cannabis in Canada is by breaking up buds, rolling them up in rolling papers, and lighting the joint with a lighter. Other methods include smoking weed with a bong, pipe or dry herb vaporizer. 

 

What are Good Alternatives to Indica Flowers?

For something stronger, cannabis concentrates are a great option. There are many different types, and some of the more common include Hash, Budder, Shatter, THC Oil, THC Distillate, and Live Resin.  Weed edibles are another alternative and are perfect for those not wishing to smoke plant matter into their lungs.

How Long Does Indica Weed Last?

This depends on how much weed was used, how tolerant the user is of weed, and how much bodyweight the individual has. In general, expect an average session to last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, with lingering less intense effects lasting a few hours more. However, it is different for everyone and judgment is key when taking cannabis. 

 

Will Cannabis Affect Other Medications?

Cannabis can potentially interact with certain medications and lead to unwanted results, so it is important to check with a doctor if on any other medication. However, it is generally relatively safe to use cannabis in conjunction with most medications, but it is still important to seek a physician’s opinion.
