FAQs About Indica Strains
Q: I can't pick a cannabis strain. Should I order a Sativa strain or an Indica strain?
A: The Indica vs. Sativa debate has been going on for ages, and there's no real right answer — it comes down to personal preference and which cannabis plant appeals the most to you.
If you can't decide between a pure Indica Strain or a pure Sativa strain, we recommend going with a hybrid. That way, you get to enjoy the calming effects of Indica strains with some of Sativa's uplifting, invigorating properties.
Q: Is Indica high-THC weed?
A: The THC percentage in a specific strain can vary. Most of the Indica strains in the Mood Shop contain between 20% and 25% THCa, making them medium to high potency.
Q: What are Indica's effects?
A: Like potency, the effects of a strain can vary, too. However, you can expect most Indica strains to have potent effects that are calming and soothing. If you want to use weed at night, these are the perfect strains of cannabis for you.
