How do you recognize an Indica plant?

The Indica plant has a compact shape with relatively thick stems. Normally the length will not be more than about two meters. The leaves can be recognized by the dark green color. Depending on the plant, the color can even be dark blue or green black. In addition, the leaves have broad blades with a short length. Compared to the Sativa plants, the side branches are considerably denser, which is clearly reflected in the shape of the plant, which is reminiscent of a shrub. The flowers of the Indica grow in thick clusters around the nodes of female plants. The nodes are the places where leaves grow from the branches and stem. Because the flowers are full, they usually weigh more than flowers of the Sativa plant.

 

What can you use the Cannabis Indica for?

Indica plants usually have a high content of the cannabinoids CBN, CBD and THC. Compared to other cannabinoids, the THC content of the Cannabis Sativa is usually higher, the Cannabis Indica has a fair amount of all three properties. The effect of the Indica varieties can often be experienced physically stronger. Think of increased physical sensitivity, relaxation of the muscles, red eyes and a dry mouth. This effect is often referred to as "stoned", which is in fact the opposite effect of the "high" you will experience with the Sativa strains. The Indica plant does indeed have psychoactive effects, in addition there is also a physically narcotic aspect to be observed. Because the fibers of the Indica are less suitable for industrial use, this plant is mainly used for its psychoactive and medicinal properties. You will often find these varieties in medical applications and as medical marijuana.
