Answer
Once heated, Indica THCa converts to THC and the timeline looks similar to traditional cannabis. Most customers feel peak effects for 1 to 2 hours, with a softer after-glow that can last another 1 to 3 hours depending on dose and tolerance.
The heavier the Indica, the more likely customers are to feel lingering drowsiness. Train your budtenders to remind shoppers to start low, go slow, and avoid operating vehicles or machinery. For stores, it helps to set expectations clearly: strong Indica strains are not ideal when someone still has a long to-do list.
