Hellyeah. Just got a pre-roll of this and damn am I glad I did. Used to be a big stoner back in high school (20 yrs ago lol) but haven't really toked much since. Have had 3 knee surgeries and have sum killer arthritis. Been looking for sumthin to take the place of painkillers (Been on 10 ml oxy for a couple yrs). My tolerance is super low nowdays, usually 1-2 hits gets me super bombed, sometimes too high. Was apprehensive about the Lights just bc it's been so long but gotta say this is the tits!!! A toke here and there and I'm GOOD!!!! Nice taste, even nicer high. No paranoia/anxiety just a mellow buzz and no pain in my knees. Good all around smoke with good painkilling ability and a smooth high. Definitely will be back at the dispensary to get more!!!
Northern Lights, my beloved. If there are a million people smoking NL in the world, I'm still it's biggest fan. If there's only 1, then it's me. If NL goes unsmoked, then I've been dead for years. Never before in my life have I encountered a strain more deserving of its namesake. The flavor profile is akin to that of a piece of pine bark peeled off a tree in the depths of the Yukon. 2 hits will have you fully believing that you're a direct descendant of Daniel Boone himself. Northern Lights is the most deeply indica strain I've ever encountered. with a completely unmatched body high. God help you if you've chosen to smoke this anytime before 5pm, because this IS the entire rest of your day. Roll it, light it, and drift away.
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 cannabis-For the first time literally in years I was able to sleep without using alcohol & without having constant nightmares, & wake 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.
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 & mind are tingly. A few minutes later, I’m totally relaxed & will be falling asleep shortly.
Northern Lights #5 Liquid Live Resin Cartridge by Cresco Reserve: THC-82.896%, THCA-6.014% CBD-0% Total: 89.91%
Some of the comments I'm reading are dead on accurate. I'm smoking my own grown northern lights. I've smoked it since its trichomes were clear all the way to about 50/50 cloudy/amber.
I have some very potent nugs curing in glass jars where they'll stay for up to a couple of months.
Smoked early produces a very short head high that's rather pleasant. Makes you smile and want to get out and do something. Smoking when fully ripe or a good 50/50 cloudy/amber allows you to experience the full potential of this amazing indica. You will experience confusion (not a bad kind), time warp/shift, kinda trippy environment when listening to music of any type. Shows and movies seem far more interesting but may seem a bit extreme, especially bad movies. Imagine going to the kitchen to get a glass of ice water and wondering why it seems like it took you 30 minutes to finish your task.
I've added a sweetener to mine and so the flavor is incredibly sweet like I bit into a ripe fruit. Build up some resin and smoke some schwag and it will reward you with that sweetness to the crappy bud.
This bud improves with time so the patient are rewarded with some of the finest smoke. It should sparkly under light and very hard to break up with your fingers, i imagine a grinder would just make a sticky mess. Use a small pair of sharp scissors to cut this bud into smoke-able pieces, clear your calender because grown properly, one hit will put you on your ass, but you'll be happy doing so.
Easiest “passing-sober” strain. Just simply mutes the stress, anxiety, dark thoughts.
EASILY one of my favorite strain of all time. Northern Lights definitely takes it for me. I had just smoked Northern Lights, one at hiking uphill at beach which made the experience pleasant cause the day was so nice!! The Northern Lights had that very dense green color, heavy with the crystals around it (also made a hella keefs too). It truly is a beautiful sight to see. Very, very smooth taste too. It has that citric taste then gently followed by odd mellow Earthy taste. Northern Lights made me feel mellow in relaxed state and happy as well. It also made me feel aware and focused, and euphoric as well. It 100% worth the purchase! Super tasty strain!

Settle down there, MZ. It's Northern Lights. Plum idiots with a computer case and 60w can grow this. It's...a decent indica. Walk to the next dispensary: bet it's there.
I have extreme OCD. I tried Stativa and almost gave up on pot forever, it made me so paranoid i wanted to go to the ER. I tried NL and everything changed. I will now tell you what NL will do for someone that has severe anxiety and THC sensitivity.
You can taste a woodsy flavor, and the smell is so strong you will have non pot smokers drooling. You probably should take only 2 hits at first until you figure it out. You just kinda chill and listen to Metallica, then you'll go outside and stare at the sky and smell things you forgot you could smell, then you'll be outside smiling and feeling like you're all alone on earth, but then you all a sudden see someone and you get all chatty and make up words that dont really exist and they just look at you like you are alien. Oh I invented "Totfries" on this shit. It's tots and fries mashed together.....anyway, then you come in from outside and you try so hard to play mario but yeah you run backwards which sucks cause it takes 1 hour to finish a level but you think you just started like 5 min ago....."wait is that my jab...yeah stevie nicks" now you are singing really bad in your karoke mic and dancing some river dance shit that you had no idea you knew, then you go "wheres my beer" and you find two. no biggie your thirsty. Then back to mario we think we started 5 min ago and then you hear a random squeaking and go "what is that" for about 2 hours, and you're still on level 1 of mario but you got some nice totfries in the kitchen and 2 beers somewhere, maybe 3 now. Then shit, the fun is over cause about 4 hours later you are so sedated that you try to watch netflix in bed but you drop the ipad and find it tomorrow. Basically, if you want to spend the night not knowing shit, caring, and feeling like a teen ager and making up new languages then this is the strand for you.
