One of my favorite strains; it's very relaxing and uplifting, perfect after a stressful day to decompress. I definitely recommend this strain whether you're new to the game or looking for an old classic ;) ✰✰✰✰✰

Classic strain right here. If you’re trying to decide whether or not to try northern lights for the first time, do it. You will not regret it. This is my go to strain for night time. Great for muscle and brain relaxation, but still great for watching and falling asleep to a movie.

Northern lights is the most powerful Indica I've tried so far, and it really punches that insomnia right out! this is the best strain for insomnia, for me! and it's a good strain for beginning smokers/vapers!

Oh boy, where to begin with this strain. Northern Lights is potent. It has a very earthy taste and aroma, and upon exhale it's like you just had a breath of fresh outdoor air. This strain is a creeper, so new smokers, tokers, and fellow stoners be cautious. It may catch you off guard when the effects hit you in full force. You'll find that you're gently, slowly lifted until you're right at the point that you finally realize, "oh wow, I'm high as hell" and that's when Northern Lights smacks you right in the face. This strain will keep you planted on the bed or couch for sure. You can expect extreme euphoria, weightlessness, and being at peace with the universe. Pain? Forget about it; he'll you'll probably forget your limbs are even there. This has the typical indica body high, but an EXTREME head high with it, but without the racing thoughts you might get with a heady sativa strain. You'll find that music is extremely nice with this strain, might I suggest some R&B? Maybe techno? This strain is a bit psychedelic, you can really feel reality bending around you. Add in music and you're on a rocketship straight to blissful space. Effects are long lasting if you smoke or vaporize. While this is a classic strain that has been around for a while, I would HIGH-LY recommend. ;)

Disclaimer: I did have an infused pre-roll so mileage may vary. This is the only strain (so far) that quieted my brain. I don't think of my brain as being necessarily very loud or frantic, but this had me experiencing truly zero thoughts. Even the songs stuck in my head stopped. I could zoom in and count the hairs on my arm - that's how much patience and nothingness there was. I could recognize how enormous a tree was to an ant, and felt the scale of the earth. Everything feels like a Ghibli movie. Things just *are* and it's beautiful.

No words. I see why it’s the best. I think I had this once as a teen and whoa. I thought it was laced with something in the illegal days- guess it was that much more potent back in the day. All I have to say is Woah. Never again. I never want to be that far gone again. I was discovering new dimensions and didn’t know what I was doing ( almost like two things at once and in one room at the same time as the other) and paranoid - did not help me sleep because I was too paranoid. Thought I was going to not wake up and wrote my own eulogy from the other side and could see them through a mirror and I was in my phone but it was like a computer game and it was my last connection to someone before my end and I have to get them to help me get out and was praying Jesus help me. I have never ever ever been this tore up my whole life and never want to do it again! Way way too far out there. It’s defiently like some old 90s stuff we use to get back in the day.... really good stuff you don’t even remember what happened the night before. Couch locked, everything slow moving, Ice cream sounds good. Uplifting, dry mouth. VERY inquisitive and retrospective. Makes you think of all your 246 thoughts at once and you have go through each of them layer by layer... so four hours later you’re still trying to figure out which one you want to use to move forward. Dystopian daydreams about just being a robot ans used as a drone to do messy work and then would get my mind reprogrammed for a new project. Are we sure this isn’t laced with something, myyyy goodness. Can’t say this relaxed me at all, but definetly slowed down time... oh yeah and don’t smoke this in a hotel room. Almost set off the fire alarm!! 😳 Most smoke you’ll ever see in your life! Remember to take it easy if you’re using a cartridge. Only 4 stars because I almost died - or did sort of but was pulled back. Thank you Jesus! Have to be in a good mood for this. 😥. Good luck. NOT for beginners!
