Northern Lights reviews

I tried this strain recreationally in Amsterdam during our most recent visit. I am new to smoking, and had previously thought that sativa strains would be more for me, but following my previous visit to Amsterdam and my experience with Laughing Buddha, I decided to try my first indica strain. I didn't realise how totally different this would be from the other strain I had tried, but I have to say that this was a much better experience: No paranoia, no racing thoughts, just a gentle pressure around the top of my head (exactly as described for the strain Headband), and differing waves of sensations; from a warm 'melting chocolate' feeling over my upper body and head, fascinating 'high definition' experience when focusing on objects or people, to a swimming, slightly lagging feeling in the head. No real negatives, except for a bit of a dry mouth and that holding a conversation became slightly more difficult due to not being able to remember what the hell we were saying! Did have a relatively long walk home which I thought would be arduous, but as soon as some frijtes were acquired (the first one tasted like the best thing I had ever eaten, seriously..) i walked (in not quite a straight line) back to the hotel and slept amazingly well. The smell of this strain was very nice. A floral smell over a heavy, but beautiful, minty, pine-like base. Very fresh and light in smell. I smoked some first, which was a bit harsh, with an oily sensation in the mouth where the smoke had been, but later used a vapouriser, where the tastes were really brought to the forefront. Matching the smell, the taste was minty and fresh. I had a sweet mint tea with it, which was a really good choice. Despite being new to all of this (first time I ever used a vaporiser), I would heartily recommend this strain. All of the positives, with very little of the negatives. A real winner.

It had been maybe ten years since I had come across some northern lights and I have no clue which one I smoked back then so I was happy to hear dr beammeup had nl #1 this weekend. I saw a lot of pictures online and was surprised how different this NL was. In fact this was one of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. All the buds were small and crispy but dense but the color was memorizing. It was mostly all a greyish purple and when you ground it up little bright pink balls and specks would appear like capt crunch berries. I posted a pic here. This quickly climbed into my top five. Just a classic indica. Very mellow but a heavy head and body effect ; alert and focused and most of all creative and thought provoking. Great for games art movies reading and other mentally enveloping hobbies.certainly one of the best music lsitening experiences playing or listening. Your head feels very light and clear never heavy and cloudy could smoke it all day and never get bogged down.

Had a very queezy stomach one night. Smoked a large bowl of Northern Lights, within ~45 minutes, complete relief. The effects of the high, wonderful! Everything is lightweight and very floaty. Completely don't give a fuck about anything. Great for anxiety and depression. Just FYI this is a VERY strong psychedelic strain. Not for the first time user, hits hard and keeps on a comin' like a freight train.

Northern Lights won me to Team Indica. I suffer from OCD, social/generalized anxiety, arthritis and muscle spasms in my back. Most hybrids and sativa's have made me paranoid as all hell. This might be my favorite strain so far. The overall effect was calm, relaxed, without racing thoughts, and a definite decrease in pain. I'm really new to Medical Marijuana and have only tried Blue Dream and Purple AK47 besides Northern Lights.

I'm writing this review will full awareness that it (as well as a vast majority of strains on Leafly) already has a stellar rating. But at the very least, I'll explain to you why this strain is hands down my favorite and why I think everyone should have it in their stash box... Along with being somewhat of a weed-nerd, I'm also a pretty well established food blogger in my city. Needless to say, my appetite has no boundaries and unlike my taste in weed (I'm pretty stuck on Indicas and only recently started dabbling in hybrids), I'm open to eating anything. It goes without saying that food poisoning is no stranger to me. It doesn't happen often at all, but it's definitely something I've accepted as a down-side of running my website and trying as much of my city's food as possible. Let's rewind to about two months ago when I ate a sandwich from a local farm-to-table that I, until that point, gave me no reason to be hesitant of their locally sourced meat. I ate the sandwich with some fries and felt fine for the rest of the night until I went to bed. However, I felt A LOT of things the next morning before going to work, but "fine" was not one of the words I would use to describe how I felt. The rest of the following day was spent at my work desk, slipping slowly deeper into a stomach virus that was worst I've had in years. I ended up leaving work early and spending the rest of my day on the toilet and my bed (but mostly the toilet). After texting a friend about my day, he suggested that I smoke a little weed to ease the stomach pain, at which point I was a bit hesitant. "I don't want to be high AND shitting my brains out." I told him skeptically. But since pepto bismal and tylenol weren't working at all to help ease my stomach pains and (my newly developed) body aches, I decided that I had nothing to lose. I opened my stash box and figured that my batch of Northern Lights (from Native Roots in Boulder, CO), would be as good as any strain for pain relief. Luckily for me, I was right to choose Northern Lights because it took all of five minutes for my stomach pain and body aches to subside into a God-sent feeling of bliss and relaxation. Up until that point, I was struggling with nausia and whole-body muscle aches for a little over 24 hours. And I'm not just talking an acceptable amount of nausea relief... I'm talking TOTAL nausea relief. My stomach pain immediately went away, my appetite came back, and I was able to hold everything down much better. I was in utter amazement of how well it worked! You can even ask my girlfriend, who heard my constant praises of this miracle strain on the couch for the rest of the night. I've always been aware of cannabis' medical uses, but (knocks on wood) never really had anything wrong with me that had outright been immediately cured by it so fast! I already loved this strain as an indica for recreational use, but it is now on my list for "must-have" strains. I highly recommend it to anyone for both medical and recreational purposes. Besides helping with nausea, it's a great strain for staying in and watching Netflix, with a powerful indica body high and excellent floral, almost lavender-ish taste.There's a reason why this strain is so popular. I hope it helps others the same way it did me! [Just an FYI, although I purchased this strain from Native Roots in Boulder, CO, I'm not sure as to whether they still carry this strain anymore. I got it some time back on vacation and haven't been there since.]

Cheery and glowy. Emphasis on sound - when everything else feels fuzzy, sound remains pristinely clear. A lot of heady high - but in the odd sense you FEEL it in your head, but it actually remains quite clear-minded. You feel legitimately happy. Physically, you're relaxed and at ease wherever. There's an enjoyable anticipation in your stomach. Very content and peaceful. Another time, I smoked this on the beach at sunset and it provided one of the best high experiences I've ever had in my life. The whole time felt overwhelmingly idyllic. Like I was in a beautiful movie where everything was perfect. Some of the closest I've been to heaven...

Great indica strain. Easy to grow resilient, fast flower time. Not that great of bag appeal..But the buzz is one of if not my favorite buzz of all time. You literally melt from head to toe. This strain is great for evening use and is the best strain I've tried for muscle pains. It's a legend

There is nothing like a well maintained and cured Northern Lights bud to smoke. From the look of the crystal covered buds, to the flavorful, unmistakable light, fruity flavor a well done Northern Lights is the pinnacle of what I would call, "An old-timers top of the line smoke." It's interesting, but I find the effects of Northern Lights to swing more to the Sativa side, as an uplifting, thoughtful demeanor enveloped me after three good tokes. Everybody is different, and the effects will vary with each individual, but if you haven't tried NL, do it if it is available. One of the original "mind-benders", it is on my Top 10 list,.
