All-Time Classic Indica Strains

You know how Indica got its name, right? Because it puts you “In da couch.”

In other words, if you’re looking to Netflix + Chill… Spark up a bowl, joint, or bong packed with some choice Indica, and you’re on the mellow train to relaxedville.

That said, there are scores of Indica strains. Not all of which will put your lights out. In fact, Indica strains are known for a variety of effects.

To help you pick the right Indica strain for your preferred mood, the team at Cannawayz.com put together a shortlist of all-time classic Indica strains…

Northern Lights

When it comes to Indica, is there a more famed strain than Northern Lights? A landrace strain originally hailing from Afghanistan, this classic Indica boasts plump, resin-rich buds and a potent skunky aroma.

And boy, does this strain pack one helluva punch! After few tokes of Northern Lights, you’ll downshift into full relaxation mode in no time flat.

Hindu Kush

Sometimes known as Afghani Kush, Hindu Kush might be the original Indica strain. Also hailing from Afghanistan, this landrace strain is native to the Hindu Kush mountain range, separating Afghanistan and Pakistan. Noted for its compact, bright green buds, Hindu Kush is coated with a thick layer of kief, which gives the flower a vibrant white shine.

Thought to be one of the first cannabis plants used to produce hash, Hindu Kush is definitely a potent strain. But it’s all noted for its very mellow, calming effects that set your mind at ease.

Granddaddy Purple

Much newer than the other stains on this list, Granddaddy Purple was created by crossing Purple Urkle and Bid Bud in 2003. Known for its dark purple buds and sweet grape aroma, this is one of the first stains that prompted cannabis coinsures to take note of bud-coloring as a sign of quality and strength.

Highly potent, this strain delivers both an “allover body high” and pronounced cerebral euphoria. Relaxing you in both body and mind.
