WOW! Now I know what people mean when they say "top shelf". It has taken me about 20 minutes to write this review. NOT FOR A BEGINNER!!!!!

Wow! This strain rocks! I've smoked it in an enclosed area as well as outdoors in nature. Both times I had a blast! I was researching about something, and decided to have a puff. I immediately felt intrigued and motivated about the topic I was researching; I felt focused, uplifted, creative, and passionate about what I was doing. I also smoked this on the beach and outdoors in the forest. It was an awesome time, the air was so fresh, I was happy, euphoric, and I was left in a tranquil state all day. This strain is both very peaceful, euphoric and uplifting...yet at the same time it is also enjoyable for those who may suffer from anxiety, but wish to benefit from a hybrid that doesn't put you to sleep like a heavy Indica does. I strongly believe that this would be an amazing strain for a University Student, someone who needs to use their brain during the day, or someone who just needs to relax and be creative without feeling sedated and fatigued. Damn, I love you Northern Lights #5!

I am still pretty new to using marijuana for medical purposes. I have a hard time finding products that do not cause difficult negative effects along with the positive. Some help my pain, but make my anxiety go off the charts, others calm me, but don’t help my pain. But this strain has changed EVERYTHING for me! It makes my pain melt away, I feel happy and light hearted and my anxiety disappears. Plus, despite being an Indica, it makes me energetic and motivated. I have been finally starting to make huge improvements and live more normal days for the first time in years! I don’t feel overly goofy, and feel more like myself than I have in a long time. It helps with my chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, stomach issues including Gastroparesis, IBS and acid reflux and to calm the neuropathy and muscle spasms in my feet and legs. I can’t be more thankful for this strain giving me my life back! My friends and family say that they can see how much better I feel and how much happier I am, but that I don’t seem high. They are actually surprised when I tell them I vaped this because I seem just like my normal old self from before I had these medical issues! I used this strain from a Cresco Reserve LLR cartridge. Thank you Northern Lights #5!!

This has to be on of the best Strains I have ever had. This sweet, and potent, flavour takes care of my ADHD/OCD & chronic pain with ease. Leaving my mind to it's creative and scientific vices with an astute focus that is, so far; paralleled by None. Northern Lights #5 is definitely a Strain to be reckoned with...

Purchased this strain from the Cresco Yeltrah (CY) dispensary in Butler, PA. This was listed as a "Reserve" strain on their menu and cost $15 more than the other 500 mg CO2 cartridges. I hesitated initially due in large part to the price difference. My line of reasoning was, "How much better could this strain really be?", and "Is it really worth a nearly 20% premium when this stuff is already expensive enough?" Brass tax, the strain is dynamite! The flavor is sweet without being too dank and the effects are really superb if you're looking to relax. The initial effectiveness of the medicine took a little longer than anticipated, but after about 10 minutes, the pain relieving effects and calming effect washed over the body. Overall the effects of the strain were very relaxing, pain relieving and appetite inducing. All that being said, this strain will be more of a regular if the price comes down with market expansion. Thanks for reading!

Good ol' Northen Lights #5. One of my personal favorites merely because of taste. Sooo Sooo Unique. Very nice head high with an accompanying body high. Lit up a bowl tonight and remembered why I loved it so much. Stimulates creativity very nicely! If you ever see a nice batch of NL #5 GET IT. Thats all I have to say.

Vaped about 300 mg. Nice kind of citrus earthy smell. Add a hint of cool pine and you got the taste, smooth almost all the way to the end. *Excellent pain relief, and on a day it was most needed*. Nice indica head effects, kind of day-dreamy in a comedic kind of way. Melted into a tub of hot water and listened to music while my thoughts floated away and my body pain dissolved into the bath. Some moments, music was mildly kaleidoscopic. The experience developed into very dry eyes and profound sleepiness which I resisted and in an hour later I was wide awake.

Easily my second favorite bud(AK-47 being my first). Very intense high, almost trippy in a way. Really messed with my concentration. Perfect little buds. Smoked some of this when I was a delivery driver, went to turn around in a driveway only to find out it wasn't a driveway at all, just some family's front yard! Lucky that was my last delivery for the day.....
