Top Indica Cannabis Strains
The Indica cannabis strain was originally designed as an evening variety because of its specific composition. Indica causes the muscles to relax, promoting a deeper level of relaxation and reducing mental stimulation.
"Couch-lock" is what occurs when the user experiences an extreme amount of physical relaxation. As a result of being physically and mentally exhausted, users feel "heaviness" in their bodies and have no motivation to get up from their couch.
When choosing an Indica variety, it is important to know the potency of the plant. There are several ways to avoid experiencing "couch-lock."
Terpenes can enhance the sedative effects of THC. The most common terpenes found in Indica include myrcene, linalool, caryophyllene.
These three terpenes produce the most desirable medicinal effects that create the relaxing sensation known as "body-high".
If you primarily need the highest amount of sedation possible to help fight chronic insomnia, then you should select a pure Indica. If you want some form of relaxation but you also want to enjoy activities such as watching movies or conversing lightly with others, you may prefer an indica-dominant hybrid
Look for strains that contain high levels of linalool and/or strains that have a relatively equal ratio of CBD/THC.
Many people who use Northern Lights find that it provides them with a very clean and calming relaxation experience without the panic they've experienced after using higher potency THC-based products.
