Northern Lights #5 strain reviews(200)
After the first hit I noticed a shift in time everything was slowing down and I was moving really fast. A deeper sense of breath, calm relaxation over my body, very sweet and berry smell/ taste. Reminds me of the effects of another b;ueberry very very strong body but hyper and uplifting attitude different heavy body effects could either be an 8 or a 0, not a fan but I'm going to give this an 8.2 the best of the best ive had so far if taken lightly.
Summary Before Consuming: I’m writing part of this before smoking tonight because this strain will KNOCK YOU OUT. I’ve suffered from insomnia & non-stop lucid nightmares every night for 2 years now. I’ve seen “sleep specialists”, therapists, psychiatrists, & have exhausted all options of medications to try to mitigate this problem. I’ve either been told there’s nothing wrong with me, or have received medications with terrible side effects that don’t even help.
Enter Northern Lights #5: For the first time in literally years I was able to sleep without using alcohol & without having constant nightmares, & woke up earlier than usual before my alarm refreshed rather than in the middle of an anxiety attack which f-cks up the entire day in addition to making my pre-existing anxiety/depression even worse.
Cannabis has already helped with my sleeping issues but Northern Lights has been the most effective. One hit from my vape pen last night & after a woody, earthy, clean hit I immediately felt my body tingle & muscles relax with a borderline psychedelic head-in-the-clouds mental relaxation as well. The need to sleep sets in almost instantly & I fall asleep in minutes.
If you suffer from insomnia or any sleep disorders I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Northern Lights. Also melts away my major depression & anxiety disorders. I imagine it would work very well for those dealing with pain at night as well. The only caveat I have with it is that at such a high THC percentage (89.9% Liquid Live Resin Cartridge) and no CBD in the batch I had, it does occasionally make me a bit paranoid/anxious when I take that first hit and blast off. But that usually subsides as it starts to settle into my system.
After Consumption Summary: On exhale from one hit, whole body is glued to bed. There’s no getting up. All stress is gone instantly. Body & head are tingling very pleasantly. A few minutes later, I’m totally relaxed & will be falling asleep shortly.

I mistakenly actually wrote this review on the regular northern lights I now realize that the strain was actually this one so please disregard that previous review. ... Now Going in anxious and stressed - First thing you notice is happiness and I’ll be honest it doesn’t hurt that the exact second that I took this damn the nearest popped up on the screen that LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers my favorite basketball team so that helped but definitely a very happy and relaxing stream I went into this anxious stressed out and not too happy and it completely flipped my mood. If I used a bit more of it it would definitely be a great knock out for later in the night but ultimately you for severe anxiety and severe situation as this is a great heavy medication. Will have you laughing and feeling amazing. I see why it’s Reserve. It’s truly a peaceful strain. So amazing it checks all my boxes. Cresco has been killing it. This is amazing.
