Top 10 Indica Strains to Try in 2025

Looking to wind down, relax, and really feel your body melt into the couch? Indica strains are your best friend in 2025. Whether you’re looking for pain relief, help with sleep, or just deep body relaxation, indica-dominant cannabis has come a long way in quality, flavor, and potency. At Greenland Botanicals, we’ve curated the top 10 indica strains you absolutely need to try this year—chosen for their popularity, effects, and standout reviews from across Canada.

Why Indica in 2025?

Indicas are known for their calming, sedative effects. Unlike sativas, which tend to be more energizing, indicas are typically used in the evening or when you just want to shut off the world. In 2025, breeders are perfecting these strains with cleaner terpene profiles, higher THC and CBD combinations, and flavors that go beyond earthy tones—think fruity, dessert-like, and even spicy kush profiles.

From legacy strains to new heavy-hitters, here are our top indica picks for 2025:

1. Pink Kush (AAAA)

A true Canadian classic. Pink Kush is still dominating shelves this year, and for good reason. It brings a sweet vanilla and floral aroma with strong full-body sedation. Loved for its stress-crushing and insomnia-fighting effects, this strain is a must-have for end-of-day users.

This one doesn’t mess around. A powerful indica with THC levels soaring over 25%, Death Bubba hits hard and fast with a heavy body buzz. You’ll likely end up in a state of semi-conscious bliss. Ideal for chronic pain or sleepless nights.

3. Tom Ford Pink Kush (AAA+)

Yes, another Pink, but Tom Ford Pink Kush has earned its spot with luxury-tier potency and a knockout punch. It’s heavy, relaxing, and offers hints of citrus, wood, and a hint of diesel. A perfect Friday-night companion.

4. Hindu Kush (AAA+)

One of the oldest landrace strains still in demand today. Hindu Kush remains relevant in 2025 thanks to its deep, earthy aroma and profoundly calming effects. Often chosen by users dealing with high anxiety and chronic tension.

5. Platinum Rockstar (AAA)

A blend of Rockstar and Platinum Kush, this strain delivers euphoria and muscle relief in equal measure. It’s one of those underrated choices for anyone needing both mental calm and body relaxation.

6. Donkey Butter (AAA+)

Strange name, unforgettable effects. Donkey Butter is rich in diesel, skunky aromas and offers a very long-lasting, tranquil high. Perfect for Netflix marathons, deep rest, or managing stubborn pain symptoms.

7. Pink Goo (AAA+)

Sticky, potent, and coated in crystals, Pink Goo is the hybrid child of Granddaddy Purple and Grape Ape. It leans indica and provides a full-body calm that washes over you in waves. Great for weekend recovery.

8. Greasy Runtz (AAA+)

This indica-heavy hybrid is a powerhouse of flavor—think tropical candy with gas undertones. It brings a full mind-and-body calm, with just enough cerebral clarity to avoid couch lock, making it versatile for day or night use.

9. Alaskan Thunder Fuck (AA)

Known more as a hybrid, but the 2025 batch is leaning more indica. With a unique mix of spicy pine and lemon, this one’s deeply relaxing and perfect for users who want a heavier version of a functional body high.

10. Mac Daddy (AAA+)

A funky, resin-heavy indica that’s becoming more and more talked about. It’s musky and sweet at the same time, delivering a laid-back, mood-boosting high that doesn’t feel overly sedative. A great starting point for new users who want to explore stronger indicas without getting knocked out.
