One of the primary differences between sativa and indica is their appearance. While sativa plants have light green, skinny leaves, indica plants have dark green, full bodied leaves.
Indicas are generally known to produce more of a body high, with the stronger strains providing a sedative effect. Indicas work well for those who suffer from pain or insomnia. Some indica strains also help relax the mind and leaves the user more social.
There are various indica strains available, so we picked 3 strains that really stood out to us.

Soon your body will be numb and locked into the couch.

Black Domina
If you suffer from insomnia, Black Domina may just be the strain for you!
Black Domina is 95% Indica. While its not an entirely stable strain, it has genetics that include four powerful Indicas: a landrace Afghanistan, Canadian Ortega, Northern Lights, and Hash Plant.
This strain is potent! Most users report feeling euphoric and uplifted if lightly smoked. Take any more, however, the user becomes embodied by a numbing sensation, which manifests into a feeling of nearly overwhelming laziness. The desire to sleep after using Black Domina can be too powerful to ignore. This is the ultimate couchlock strain, or bedlock in this case. ????
The potent Indica effects of this strain make it ideal for night time. Users often report that it alleviates migraines, nausea, and severe aches and pains. Some people use this strain for the relief of stress, anxiety, depression, and of course, insomnia.
The flavor consists of a woody, pine, earthy sensation. The smell of Black Domina alone might put you in the enchanted forest!
The negative effects are typical: dry eyes and mouth, occasional dizziness, anxiety and paranoia. Always start with a small hit first to see how the strain effects you.
