Indica

The Cannabis indica plant originated in the Middle East, in places such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tibet.

It generally has a higher CBD content than Cannabis sativa, though the CBD to THC ratio is very close to 1:1 Trusted Source.

The general perception is that indica is an effective pain reliever, with a flat and relaxing high. Many medical marijuana strains contain a hybrid form of this strain.

That said, it is important to note that little scientific evidence backs these ideas. There are far more variations within the indica vs. sativa categorization,
