Indica: “Indica” is a widely used consumer label for cannabis, often contrasted with “sativa”. In patient education, it is best explained as informal and imprecise rather than clinically reliable.

Patients commonly assume indica predicts sedation or a particular medical use.

A UK education site should explain the term but not rely on it.

Those assumptions are not dependable enough for a medical-patient glossary.
