Cannabis Indica
The Cannabis indica plant is typically distinguished from the Cannabis Sativa plant as being relatively short, conical, and densely branched, whereas C. sativa is tall and loosely branched. Additionally, C. indica plants typically have short and broad leaves whereas C. sativa leaves are long and narrow.
In South Asia, Cannabis indica is cultivated for the production of hashis. C. indica tends to have a higher cannabidiol content than sativa strains. The Cannabis indica high is often referred to as a "body buzz" and it is generally preferred for relief of pain. In addition, C. Indica is considered to be most effective in treating insomnia and anxiety.
