Cannabis indica is plentiful in the
Mideast,
India, and
Central Asia especially
Afghanistan,
Kashmire, and
Pakistan. It is a short plant, generally between 3 and 6 feet, and its leaves have short broad fingers. The leaves are generally dark
green sometimes
tinged with purple. As they near
maturity, the leaves may become significantly more
purple. It is a strong
smelling plant with a "
stinky" or "
skunky" smell. The
smoke of indicas is generally thick and more prone to cause coughing when inhaled. Indicas are the traditional source of
hashish.
