Origins of Indica Weed
Indica cannabis originated in Asia. In contrast to Sativa plants, the weed plants like to grow in high-altitude areas and were first found in areas such as the Himalayas, Hindu Kush and the Karakoram mountain range. To be precise, in the northern parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. The French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was the first to mention Indica in 1785. Yes, weed is older than you might think.

In the ‘60s and ‘70s Indica weed plants made it to the West. This was in part thanks to travelling hippies who had discovered the plant’s effects. They talked to Europeans about weed and its cultivation. It very quickly became clear that cannabis had been welcomed with open arms in the Netherlands, for example.
Cannabinoids in Indica Weed
Cannabinoids are in every type of cannabis. These are substances which can bind themselves to receptors in your body which control feelings such as appetite, pain, tiredness and many other elements. As well as the familiar substances THC and CBD, there are many more active cannabinoids in Sativa and Indica weed. Then there are the terpenes. These are substances which can change the taste and the effects. For example, Indica contains the terpene β-myrcene which, in combination with THC, can get you very stoned. Indica is also the weed which has the most effect on the body and which is most commonly used for chilling and relaxing. It is very high in THC. Which results in the body high effect or even couch lock. Sativa, on the other hand, affects your head more and gives you a more energetic feeling than Indica weed.
Sativa vs. Indica Effects
Cannabis can affect everyone differently. But it does depend on the species and strain you smoke. Take sativa vs indica for example. Indica strains are said to make you more physically stoned than mentally high. Sativas provide uplifting effects and indicas more for relaxation. In reality the effects of sativa and indica overlap a lot, since most strains are actually hybrids. But there are a number of effects which are mostly linked to Indica cannabis.
- More stoned than high. Thus more of a feeling throughout your whole body.
- Works to relax and relieve stress.
- Rich in THC and therefore good for combatting physical pain.
- The whole body feeling can help you to sleep well.
- Increases appetite sometimes leading to the so-called munchies.

Why Indica weed seeds?
Indica and Sativa cannabis seeds each have their own benefits. The major reasons for choosing Indica seeds are:
- Indica weed is often a bit richer in THC.
- The plants are compact and therefore attract less attention
- Indica has a higher yield by surface area
- Shorter flowering time than Sativa (6 to 8 weeks)
- The short flowering time makes it suitable for indoor cultivation
- Also suitable for a short summer season (outside cultivation)
Appearance of Indica cannabis plants
As well as their differing origin and effect, the weed plants also look different. You can recognise Indica plants by their size. They stay somewhat smaller than Sativa plants and don’t grow over the fence or balcony so quickly. Indica is a bit broader. You can also recognise Indica from its leaves: these are somewhat broader and less fine than Sativa ones.
