Indica strains come from the indica cannabis plant, which is generally shorter and bushier than its sativa counterpart. Traditionally, indica varieties are associated with a body high that makes you feel relaxed and provide calming effects. Medical marijuana patients often choose indicas to help them sleep and reduce pain. Myrcene, the most common terpene in cannabis, is known to help patients sleep, fighting conditions such as anxiety and insomnia.
