Northern Lights reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Northern Lights.
Got a chance to try this from my local dispensary, and this by far is the best strain I ever had. For an indica, it doesn't give a couch-lock feel, and it even makes me more focused on daily tasks. I am so relaxed with no anxiety whatsoever! Definitely check this strain out when you get a chance.

I’ve been vaping the real deal version of it for a week and a half right now, and it is the best way to doze off to sleep. I had no doubt it would help me. Northern Lights is an Indica for a reason, and it deserves its mythical
One of my go-to’s. I have a tendency to have nerve pain and insomnia. NL takes care of both, no problems.
OMFG. This is The Stuff!
Full disclosure, I'm using a 1:1 THC: CBD Northern Lights vaporizer cartridge.
I was initially skeptical about 1:1--I had first heard it being talked up at California dispensaries when I would visit family out there, and honestly, I thought it was all talk (budtenders would say things like "oh the entourage effect" and "of course, everyone knows cannabis works best in a 1:1 ratio" and I was just like, "OK buddy, stop trying to sell me on this...!"). Well, a few months ago, I tried my first 1:1 product while visiting a friend in Cali and I finally became convinced it wasn't all hype. So when I got back to the East Coast, and saw a 1:1 Northern Lights vape cart at one of my local dispensaries, I thought I'd give it a fair shake.
I am NOT disappointed--in fact, I'm positively thrilled! This is THE solution to insomnia--something I've struggled with basically my whole life, at least since I was old enough to figure out it was an issue for me, in my early teen years. I have tried a few other strains, hoping to find a good solution to my insomnia, and some have been really great at helping me get to sleep. But, the 1:1 element in this Northern Lights cart takes my insomnia cure to the next level. Not only does it help me feel very relaxed and to fall asleep quickly, it definitely helps me achieve the best QUALITY sleep I have possibly ever had. At least according to my FitBit, I have a perfect balance of REM, light, and deep sleep whenever I used this 1:1 version of this strain--something no other cannabis strain has managed to afford me, so far (REM sleep always suffers at least a little when I used pure THC strains).
Furthermore, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the gentle but awesome cerebral stimulation Northern Lights offers!! I usually smoke or vape before going to bed, to unwind and relax and help me nod off, but I usually like to watch a movie or TV show or listen to music before heading off to Dreamland. My 1:1 Northern Lights is PERFECT for enjoying this experience before quickly and easily nodding off for the night! It is an incredible cerebral experience anytime I use it. (For example, as I watch my favorite TV shows, like Lucifer or Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek--yes, I'm a huge geek!--I cannot help but let my mind wander off in some really meta directions every time I use this vape cart...like, to the point where I tend to have to rewatch a scene a few times because I keep losing track of what's happening, but in the BEST WAY--because my mind is processing stuff on an entirely different level--like, "OMG, Neil Gaiman is a genius because this is a meta commentary on how all humans need to be able to tell themselves a story of who they are or want to be--and wow, what a variety of stories our many human cultures have to offer us to choose from, amazing...!!--in order to become who they REALLY are--oh wait, what is this murder they are trying to solve actually about...?? Lemme just rewind a lil bit...". OR, "OMG, Gen Z loves bands like Blondie not just because of memes, but because of the crossover appeal this band offers--after all, they were able to appeal to punk audiences AND disco audiences AND pop/new-wave audiences--AND it turns out that Gen Z actually likes disco I think...!? Because there's definitely a melodic relationship between Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' and the Beegees' 'Stayin' Alive!'" ...lol, yep, total High-deas, but I absolutely love it, and this strain just makes me laugh about it, not paranoid about it.). It's just the right balance of "now I can PROFOUNDLY enjoy my evening routine AND fall asleep quickly and easily whenever I'm ready...!" (My favorite strain of all time is Jack Herer, and now I can definitely see where a huge part of that cerebral high comes from...! If you like Jack Herer, but want something a little bit more sedating/less energizing, this is a perfect option!)
I sure hope I can get my hands on this in the future because this could be my new everyday (OK, everyNIGHT) medicine for the foreseeable future...!
I feel like the house with balloons in the movie UP.
Writing this after a couple of hits on the dry herb vape pen. The effects came on pretty quickly, starting with a tingly and relaxed feeling in my legs and feet, slowly making its way upwards. And as it did this, I noticed that my mood became light and happy. I also felt light and floaty, while at the same time a little heavy, hard to understand. A really strange sensation to feel light and heavy at the same time... like I am something really heavy, but I have a bunch of big helium balloons attached to me that make me float. Getting very relaxed, and my thoughts are starting to get slow, and be fuzzy. Time to go lie down and become one with music.
Northern Lights is one of the best strains out there. It’s been a great “old reliable” through treating my PTSD nightmares and it’s great for overall anxiety. But if you have none of that and want something to just get high and chill with, this is a fantastic go to as well.
If you’ve had gorilla glue #4, this stuff is like that. The main difference is that gorilla glue leaves me with a tiered stone forcing me to stay glued to my couch. This stone leaves me feeling tired and sleepy but in a more comfortable way where I still feel like I can get up if I have to 😂. But I still don’t. 10/10 made me forget that I’m a human being that needs to get off the couch, 10/10 smell and taste, 10/10 for mental illness
because my mania from my bipolar disorder essentially disappeared after barely hitting this strain.
