Indica

THC: 16% - 21%

Few strains come with as much widespread renown as Northern Lights, inarguably one of the most popular strains of all time. An inbred descendant of original Afghani landrace strains, Northern Lights is a pure indica. THC levels can reach 16-21%, making this one of the most potent strains available on any market. A couple hits is all it takes for most patient's seeking this strain's powerful body effects, an upbeat mix of euphoria and physical relaxation. CBD levels are less clear, but they certainly aren't high enough to recommend this as a treatment for seizures or other conditions that respond to CBD. Even so, Northern Lights is a highly useful medical strain, effective at treating anxiety, pain, and insomnia, as well as lack of appetite. Cottonmouth is common, as are red eyes, while other negative effects are much more limited. This strain has a sweet, earthy flavor with hints of citrus. Northern Lights is most popular on the West Coast and in Colorado, but it's a favorite pretty much everywhere else marijuana can be found.

Trying out some Northern Lights for the first time. Smoked a small nug in my glass bubbler and found that it tasted kind of spicey. Left my throat burning slightly in a black pepper sort of way. I can't say I'm hating the effect this strain is having on my throat, but it's sure different. Can't wait to make some canna oil with it because of the flavour. At about ten minutes in I'm feeling pretty mellow but my mind is still a bit foggy; yay Fibro! The cannabis has definitely eased my anxiety and relieved all tension in my body. I'm appreciating the relief from today's wide spread muscle tension pain. It's not a strain that I'd use recreationally but I'm adding Northern Lights to my must have medicinal cannabis strain list. Seems like a good strain for beginners to try.

Smoked this back in my college days. Great high then & only in nug form did the buds appear. Lovely flower on all levels..

By far my favorite Indica strain coming just ahead of Purple Kush. Great for pain and anxiety or just relaxing and remembering good times back in the 90's when I first tried this strain.

Fantastic smoke. Super relaxing couch-lock...cushions felt like rainbow fog. Slight psychedelic effects. Great evening time strain for enjoying slow music and nature sound.

Decent middle of the road weed. This is not purple, blue or high cbd. The taste is kushy and silver. I didn’t find it to be sleepy like everyone has suggested. This is good newbie weed. This strain is one of the most common so people go on and on about it, and thus it is at least a little overrated.

The bud is phenomenal and gives a special kind of high.

One of my favorites to vape at night. A top choice Indica for me. I suffer from anxiety, depression and PTSD, works amazing for all:)

I absolutely love this strain it's literally the strain I smoked in highschool 20 years ago when we could actually find something other than crap schwag with more seeds than weeds.

Invented in the northern adirondacks by one of three renowned grows. Amazing history behind this one. But little is known about it due to the marijuana laws in the area. Sadly the creater of this strain was killed in an accident but his legacy lives on.
