WOW. Northern Lights is one amazing indica--chill and mellow, with just enough "oomph" to get you high if you smoke enough of it. Many people report it putting them to sleep, but I don't experience that--just relaxation and "couch melt", no racing thoughts or heart pounding. That being said, I advise new or anxious users to GO SLOW with this stuff--at 19% THC (or higher) and very little (if any) CBD, it's kinda like a pillow. One pillow is comfy, but a ton of pillows will crush you. GO SLOW. Northern Lights is potent stuff. Take ONE little toke, then chill for 15-30 minutes. If you want a little more, take another TINY hit, then chill and feel its cozy embrace. I use cannabis to treat social and generalized anxiety, and while strains like NL don't have the juicy CBD I love, a little bit of the "good stuff" can be very relaxing IF you don't overdo it. I enjoy this in small doses from my glass one-hitter, or a tiny hit from my bong, but I'm sure a little vape hit would taste and feel amazing too. It has a sweet, fruity, delicious flavor and it's very smooth, so no coughing from me. She's a lovely lady, but go easy with her--with Northern Lights, less really is more. A gentle strain if you take it slow and steady, but a hard-hitting strain if you take big bong blasts, so respect this girl and she'll love you back =)
excellent strain, would recommend to anyone with GERD or anxiety
A nice strain for the end of afternoon, to relieve stress, physical fatigue and lack of appetite. It didn't couch lock me or make me sleepy, but walking felt like floating and I liked it! My vision felt like seeing in 4K too.
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.
Almost not like being stoned , because there are zero sativa effects, but the pure indica feeling is lovely. Very relaxing, euphoric, sleepy... it just feels more like a gentle sedative than a strain of weed. Sometimes that's exactly what you want though.
This is one of my favorite daytime strains for pain and anxiety. For whatever reason this strain has never worked for me for sleep. I love feeling like the weight is lifted and my body can move freely with this strain, not a care in the world, ready to conquer the day!
Feeling very relaxed and inspired. I have bipolar and ptsd so a lot of anxiety & depression usually but I’m in a good mood and feeling optimistic which doesn’t always come easily. It has smooth, earthy flavor. I’m definitely a little sleepy, but then again I got 4 hours of sleep… so I’ll have no problem taking a nap. Lol 10/10 - would recommend.
I’m 20 and I have a horrible back just from general bad posture and sitting at desks my entire life, sleeping on floors, and other stupid stuff. This strain got me all tingly and all the pain feels almost non-existent. I’m also pretty focused (as you can see I’ve managed to write out this entire review) and I can somehow hear better?? Everything feels sensitive but comfortable. Great strain for chillin at home. Also, I don’t have dry mouth, like at all, it’s quite the opposite actually. TMI I drooled a lot from this strain and now my mouth feels perfectly hydrated? Love this strain. Might be a new favorite.
