Northern Lights #5 reviews

My first taste of this classic strain. It did not disappoint. Strong stone and great flavor. Relaxed and happy, but not too much couch lock. Perfect for a lazy afternoon.

Full disclosure, I've always loved this strain, so I may be a bit biased. I picked this up at a local San Diego dispensary. It tested at 28.39% THC, 0.00% CBD, and 0.05% CBN. This batch certainly had bag appeal – look, smell, and feel were all there – and it did not disappoint. It was a bit darker of a light green, if that makes sense – an army green. Good looking structure, a fair amount of orange hairs and a decent covering of trichomes, but not super glimmery or sticky between the fingers. The smell when first opening the bag is sweet, fruity, with a bit of pine – maybe even a bit tangy, as others have noted. A little whaft of earthiness seems to come through as well. The buds are denser, not giving too much with a squeeze between the fingers. They feel pretty sturdy, not at all "airy" or "popcorn-ish," but didn't stick to the fingers. When ground up, the aromas intensify, a sweet pine coming more to the forefront. I packed a bowl for the bubbler – the taste/inhale/exhale is similar to its smell, but much, much more pine comes through. A delightful taste, bringing back memories of smoking this strain in the Eastern Sierras & Yosemite. I'm a longtime cannabis user, but have scaled back and generally keep my use to night time, so I'm pretty used to indicas. This batch was definitely relaxing, but helpful in getting the creative juices and ideas going, as well as allowing one to expound on those ideas. My body was relaxed, but I could still write. While I love this strain, and may be a bit biased, this batch didn't quite reach that amazing, 5 star connoisseur level. The smell and taste were fantastic; the structure and look were good; and the effects were great – relaxing, yet uplifting to allow creativity and ideas, with enough focus to expound on those. I don't know – on the edge of 5 stars, but knowing my bias for the strain it wouldn't feel fair. I'd say 4.5/5 stars, would definitely pick up this strain/batch again!

This is a book reader. I don't mean that as a negative. Calm, understanding, patient, apreciative. Not for parties. Fantastic if you want to just fucking relax. I feel really satisfied and in the moment.

Lovely balanced high. Feel it creeping up the back of your head and settling behind your eyes. Nice flavor in a vaporizer.

An excellent bud. Really potent smell and great taste, the high lasts a good 2hrs til the stone comes in. One of the better buds I've had in a long while..

Great to chill and laugh a little. You don't want to move your body because it's so relaxed, but at the same time you can use all your sences, you can still know what's happening around. Very relaxing but still awake!!

This made me fall asleep so fast. I felt like I somebody put a tranquilizer in my neck.

I enjoyed this 😌🤘🏻
