Indica Weed Strains: Top 7
One of our favorite things about cannabis is the way that different strains have their own unique characteristics. It’s awesome that one variety of this plant can make you feel something completely different from another. Though every strain has something special going for it, we often group them into categories so it’s easier to find other premium cannabis options you might like. Cannabis indica strains are appealing to many people who like to smoke as they wind down at the end of the day, so without further ado, let’s dive into seven of our favorite indica strains.
1 – Lavender Popcorn
Many people like to burn lavender candles or diffuse lavender essential oil when they’re trying to relax, so it makes some sense that this lavender-forward strain is associated with soothing feelings. The floral aroma is accompanied by some natural spice and a whiff of skunk, giving this strain a potent scent that will creep right through the bag. The taste is good in and of itself, but that’s not the only reason people love Lavender Popcorn.
Most of our repeat visitors say this strain makes them feel happy and relaxed, with the euphoria gently giving way to contented sleepiness. The heavily indica effects of this plant might prepare you to eat a big snack and call it a day. With that in mind, we normally recommend this strain for nighttime smokes.
2 – Ice Cream Cake
This strain is technically a hybrid, but people often say they feel borderline sedated after smoking it. It’s a combination of Gelato #33 with Wedding Cake, so you’ll know exactly where the relaxing effects come from if you’re familiar with either of those two strains. Ice Cream Cake is a good companion for those times when you want to fall asleep in front of the TV. If you want to do anything more active, though, this probably isn’t the strain for you. Expect a hazy state of relaxation to set in almost immediately.
3 – Gary Payton Strain
If you’re looking for something to smoke while you mellow out and still get a few things done, the Gary Payton strain of weed may be your friend. This slightly indica-leaning hybrid strain provides a somewhat balanced experience. It’s popular among people who like indicas, but want a strain they can smoke throughout the day without ending up glued to the couch. You might feel a little bit hazy, so don’t try doing anything too important while you’re under the influence, but it might make simple chores more enjoyable.
4 – Gelato
Gelato is another one of those strains that is known for delivering a pleasant body high without clouding the mind too much. Many people say the psychoactive effects are just enough that they may feel slightly more creative. Most of all, though, our customers say it helps them feel relaxed without necessarily making them feel like they need to go to bed right this instant.
5 – Mac and Cheese
Here’s another hybrid strain with some great indica effects that don’t necessarily overpower you. Try the Mac and Cheese weed strain. Customers often report that it delivers the heavy-bodied physical sensation they love from indica strains, but it still manages to leave them with a clear head. It often has high THC levels, which is part of the reason it’s known for producing some level of uplifting euphoria right off the bat. As you settle into the experience, though, you can expect to feel relaxation creep through your body and mind, leaving you in a sort of zenlike flow. This is a common strain for people who want to sit around and have deep conversations with friends.
6 – Member Berry
The Member Berry Weed Strain. Also known as Memberberry, this balanced hybrid cuts into its indica lineage with some sativa genes as well. You may be starting to notice that many of the indica-leaning strains on a dispensary menu are actually hybrids and that there are only a handful of pure indica strains. Part of the reason strains like Member Berry are cultivated so often is because many cannabis enthusiasts are looking for a moderate amount of indica effects that still allow them to stay awake and somewhat active. Member Berry is another of those options known for being a relaxing strain that’s balanced enough for enjoyment at any time of the day.
7 – Strawberry Banana
The Strawberry Banana weed strain. This one is generally a top choice for people who do want slightly heavier indica effects. Strawberry Banana is an indica dominant cross of a Strawberry phenotype of Bubble Gum with Banana Kush. Creating this strain sounds like it might have been fairly involved for the growers, but the cultivation process was well worth it for the popular flavor and effects.
As the name implies, the taste and aroma of Strawberry Bananas are sweet, fruity, and pleasant all around. If you’re the type of person who’s always reaching for a smoothie or homemade fruit juice, this cannabis flower may be right up your alley. We could talk about the taste all day, but many of the indica fans who enter our Federal Heights dispensary are mostly buying this because of the way it makes them feel.
The primary feelings reported by far are happiness and deep relaxation. There seem to be secondary feelings of euphoria and boosted mood, so people say they still feel mentally sharp and ready to enjoy life after smoking this strain. Finally, like many indicas, this strain might give you a serious case of the munchies.
