Northern Lights is one of first strains I remember trying back in the early 90’s. A lovely flower that has very enjoyable easy-going effects. If you’re someone that is heavily into indicas, Northern Lights should most likely be one of your staples. An old friend, tried and true....this flowers a relaxing, appetite inducing indica.

The couch lock is real with this one. Holy smokes. I took this for my severe insomnia and I swear I have never had such refreshing sleeps in my life. Not only that, but my friends noticed (not me, I was too high) that I calmed down completely and was able to converse without pacing or getting derailed/stuttering (a symptom of my anxiety). I will continue to buy and smoke this amazing, tasty strain.

Great strain for melting away pain and stress but leaving you alert enough to still get things done.

This one hits you immediately when vaped. I felt very uplifted and productive, but still had a heavy euphoric feeling in the head and body. Most indicas put me to sleep, but this is the perfect daytime remedy to curve any anxiety and feel relaxed for hours!

The first thing I noticed [as I loaded the 'reserve live resin from [Mapleglenn Dispensary] about Northern Lights #5 was a slight fizzy Pepsi taste. Smooth smoking and fresh fruity citrus smell and taste also. It took a few minutes before the effects came on, and did it ever. A head and chest excitement like waiting for an old friend or relative you haven't seen in a while. Then the sensation of full body euphoria like your getting a massage. Pure blissfulness and I think I feel a big smirk coming over my face. This whole family of Northern Lights, Jack Herer, Super Silver Haze, Skunk are #1. Top shelf like no other.

The Hobbits thought they were sharing the finest weed in south farthing with Ghandalf, but what they didn't know is that Ghandalf kept something even better for himself, and that was NORTHERN LIGHTS #5. What more could anyone want besides a well brought up batch of this luxurious smoke? I don't care if you're a Sativa or Indica person, everyone who enjoys smoking Cannabis flower MUST TRY THIS STRAIN. Smells like a sweet, citrus, pine forest. 🍊🌲👃 Smoke burns so smooth, so clean. Tastes.. better than the finest weed in south farthing. Happy high. ☺ A well grounded euphoria floating on cloud 9. 💨 A little relaxing, but totally functional. Five buds and a half. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲1/2

Very potent and smooth. Been growing for about 10 years and this is one of the best strain to grow if u are a begginer. I still grow a batch of this NL#5 so I have something good in the evening, wouldn't recommend as a mid day usage as you probably won't be too productive. Overall great strain, very stable and well renown. A must!

I smoked some "Northern Lights - Five Star General" I bought at One Draw Two probably six months ago. My blood pressure went down from 160/110 to 128/82 within a half hour. Dosage was perhaps 1/20th of a gram. I was skeptical of all the reports on the Internet about marijuana lowering blood pressure because the legitimate medical web sites are not emphasizing it. So I bought my own blood pressure monitor and am experimenting with it. I am not and have never been on any blood pressure medication. Along with the reduction in BP, however, your heart rate will go up 10 to 20 beats per minute for about an hour. The blood pressure monitor showed both the increase in heart rate and reduction in BP as expected. If you don't smoke weed every day, however, it's been reported that your blood pressure will INCREASE for the first hour after smoking before it goes down. It only goes straight down if you're a daily smoker like I am. Smoking indica to help me sleep is perhaps the reason I'm still alive. I didn't know my blood pressure was so high, and also did not know I was lowering it every night by smoking weed. It's 12 hours later now and I'm up to 157/104 so I'll take another hit. Heart rate is back down to 73. Millions of people are taking blood pressure medications they don't need, they could switch to smoking Indica and indica dominant hybrids to reduce blood pressure. The pharmaceutical industry will certainly try to repress and dispute this information since it would mean they lose billions of dollars. Buy a blood pressure monitor and see for yourself.
