Indica strains: weed for slow evenings
Indica strains are known for a heavy, calm feeling in the body. Many people pick indica for the evening, or when they want to relax after work. The buds often smell earthy, sweet or like fuel.
Most indica weed today is really a hybrid that leans indica, so two indica strains can feel a bit different. Read each product page before you buy, and start with a small amount.
When to use indica
Indica is a common pick for a movie, some music or a quiet night at home. People often use it to wind down. It can make you feel slow, so save it for when your day is done.
Go easy at first
Take one or two puffs, then wait ten minutes. The body feeling can build slowly and last for one to three hours. Find somewhere comfy to sit before you choose to smoke more.
Shop by smell
Terpenes are what give weed its smell and taste. Indica buds often smell like earth, berries or gas. If you like the way a strain smells, you will likely enjoy the way it smokes.
