Whether you want to feel energized and creative or relaxed and comforted, there’s a CBD flower strain for you! Each strain delivers some unique effects to your mind and body, so there’s a perfect strain for just about every situation. If you want to feel soothed, sleepy, and satisfied, you should look for an Indica CBD flower strain.
Indica flowers are often deemed “bedtime” strains because they tend to induce more tranquilizing effects. These strains can relax you, decrease physical discomforts, and may leave you slightly (but pleasantly) sedated. Indicas may help you experience a deeper, more restful sleep, leaving you inspired and clear-minded the next morning.
Let’s look at some popular Indica CBD flower strains so you can decide which one is right for you (Cookies, Bubba Kush, and Zkittles, Abacus oh my)!
Indica is one of three major categories of cannabis: Sativa, Indica, and hybrid.
Sativas include CBD flower strains that often leave consumers feeling energized and motivated. On the other hand, Indica CBD flower strains are known to make consumers relaxed and comforted. Hybrid CBD flower strains usually balance both of these qualities.
Indica CBD flower originated from hemp plants in the Middle East, including Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. Indica hemp plants are short and stocky. They appear bushy, with wide green leaves.
Indica CBD flower is sometimes called “nighttime bud.” That’s because Indica CBD flower strains can make you feel sedated and soothed. People like to use these strains before bedtime to promote deeper sleep. Indica CBD flower strains are also known to reduce nausea, soothe physical discomfort, and increase appetite.
Hybrid CBD flower strains are more balanced than Sativa or Indica strains. That means when they tend to lay somewhere in the middle of the road when it comes to energizing and sedating qualities.
Most hybrid strains are Indica-dominant or Sativa-dominant, depending on the flower’s genetics. If there are more Indica strains in the flower’s lineage, then the strain’s effects will be more Indica-like.
Indica-dominant CBD flower strains will have effects more similar to Indica strains, meaning they’ll give you a sense of relaxation and peaceful calm. Indica-dominant CBD flower strains are perfect for when you’re looking to forget about that frustrating project and just want to unwind with a good movie and a snack.
The two major categories of CBD flower are Indica and Sativa. Indica and Sativa hemp plants have different genetic profiles, so they may feature different terpenes and flavonoids. These are the compounds responsible for a plant’s effects, taste, and smell.
Indica will make users feel content and calm. The plants are stout with dense buds. They often smell skunky or piney, with a spicy, earthy flavor.
Sativa, on the other hand, may inspire creativity and socialization. These plants tend to be taller than Indica plants with more slender buds. This leaner shape developed because Sativa plants originated in rainforests in South America, where the plants needed to stretch to reach sunlight. Sativas often smell citrusy and sweet. They tend to have a fruity taste.
You can use Indica flower strains at night to feel a soothing sense of comfort, like you are being wrapped in a warm, dinosaur-patterned blanket from your childhood. Physical pain is often decreased, allowing for a deeper, more satisfying sleep.
Indica CBD flower promotes this sensational comfort thanks to its higher concentration of a terpene called linalool. This terpene is also found in lavender, known to induce sleepiness.
Also, Indica CBD flower has a higher amount of mycrene, a terpene found in mangos. Myrcene is known to make you sink into the couch with feelings of bliss and relaxation.
Here are the most common effects of Indica hemp flower:
It’s helpful to think of effects on a spectrum from “energizing” to “sleepy.” Indica strains are on the sedating, sleepy side, and Sativas are on the energizing end.
Instead of making you feel sedated and relaxed, Sativa CBD flower strains will leave you feeling alert and uplifted. You’ll feel inspired to have dynamic conversations with friends or focus on a creative project. People often use Sativa CBD flower strains in the morning to make them feel active and focused.
Pinene is a terpene present in many Sativa CBD flower strains. It may enhance short-term memory, meaning it’s beneficial for focus. This terpene is also said to make users feel elevated, making Sativa CBD flower strains perfect for reducing less stress.
Here are some of the most common effects of Sativa CBD flower:
You should choose an Indica CBD flower strain if you want to feel comforted and relaxed. You can smoke Indica flower in the morning or daytime, but it may make you feel a bit sleepy.
