The Best Indica Strains To Help You Sleep

Is it a widespread belief that Indicas can be helpful for people who have insomnia. With a full-body relaxation sensation or often referred to as a heavy body stone, Indica dominant strains are usually the favoured choice for a nighttime bowl with weed connoisseurs. The general feeling of calmness and the words couchlocked can often be used by users to describe high-level-THC Indica dominant strains. Such strains can help you with:

• Alleviate chronic pain
• Reduce anxiety
• Insomnia
• Appetite disorders

Terpenes are compounds found in the trichomes or small whitish hairs sticking out of the buds. Terps are responsible for the different scents a cannabis plant can produce and partly responsible for the various effects a specific strain can have on you.  Some, like Terpinolene, Caryophyllene and Myrcene, are known to have therapeutic and sedative effects. Finding strains with a high concentration of those Terpenes can be beneficial for users wanting a little help get to bed earlier.

Favourite Indica Strains Used To Help With Insomnia

Blueberry from Kush Army 
With typical effects reported as feeling relaxed, sleepy, yet creative, this strain is a famous Indica dominant hybrid that can often be described as a “one hit and quit” type of strain. Ranging THC-level between 15% and 24%, potency is never an issue associated with Blueberry. It is often creating an intense relaxed physical sensation with some light mental effects. As the name suggests, incredible aromas of blueberry, spices and an evident skunkiness come out of the buds when smoked in a joint or a bowl. Rich in Myrcene.

Grand Daddy Purple from Green Velvet 27%-30% THC
Nicknamed Grand Daddy Purps is a famous Indica strain from the west coast. Ken Estes from the Bay area came up with this hybrid combining the dark and deep purple hue from Purple Urkle and the oversized, dense buds of Big Bud. Arguably one of the most photogenic strain there is out there at the moment, the orange and frosty white trichomes covering the perfectly shaped buds makes the GDP look like the perfect Indica strain. Although very similar in looks and effects to the strain Grape Ape, Grand Daddy Purple’s popularity grew much more.

This 75% Indica dominant strain became a favourite for many users reporting all the classic effects desired in a potent Indica. Ideal for pain management, depression and anxiety, Grand Daddy Purps induces a strong body and mind buzz bringing the users in a deep state of relaxation and calmness, making this strain ideal for insomnia patients.  Be mindful for inexperienced users as it packs a punch, so our advice would be to start low and slow and work your way up in dosage. Rich in Myrcene.

Sensi Star from Highlife Cannabis Co 65% Indica 35% Sativa
Created by the guys at Paradise Seeds, this Afghani Indica contains around 35% of Sativa of unknown origins as the creators never revealed the actual genetics of the strain publicly. Hints of citrus lemon and coniferous come out of this potent Indica dominant strain known for pain relief and great at dealing with insomnia problems. We recommended using Sensi Star in the afternoon or nighttime sessions as the intense body high will help relax muscles and may make it hard to focus. Usually, lift the user’s spirit and bring a sense of euphoria followed by a deep state of relaxation. High levels of Terpinolene.
