Northern Lights

OMFG. This is The Stuff! Full disclosure, I'm using a 1:1 THC: CBD Northern Lights vaporizer cartridge. I was initially skeptical about 1:1--I had first heard it being talked up at California dispensaries when I would visit family out there, and honestly, I thought it was all talk (budtenders would say things like "oh the entourage effect" and "of course, everyone knows cannabis works best in a 1:1 ratio" and I was just like, "OK buddy, stop trying to sell me on this...!"). Well, a few months ago, I tried my first 1:1 product while visiting a friend in Cali and I finally became convinced it wasn't all hype. So when I got back to the East Coast, and saw a 1:1 Northern Lights vape cart at one of my local dispensaries, I thought I'd give it a fair shake. I am NOT disappointed--in fact, I'm positively thrilled! This is THE solution to insomnia--something I've struggled with basically my whole life, at least since I was old enough to figure out it was an issue for me, in my early teen years. I have tried a few other strains, hoping to find a good solution to my insomnia, and some have been really great at helping me get to sleep. But, the 1:1 element in this Northern Lights cart takes my insomnia cure to the next level. Not only does it help me feel very relaxed and to fall asleep quickly, it definitely helps me achieve the best QUALITY sleep I have possibly ever had. At least according to my FitBit, I have a perfect balance of REM, light, and deep sleep whenever I used this 1:1 version of this strain--something no other cannabis strain has managed to afford me, so far (REM sleep always suffers at least a little when I used pure THC strains). Furthermore, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the gentle but awesome cerebral stimulation Northern Lights offers!! I usually smoke or vape before going to bed, to unwind and relax and help me nod off, but I usually like to watch a movie or TV show or listen to music before heading off to Dreamland. My 1:1 Northern Lights is PERFECT for enjoying this experience before quickly and easily nodding off for the night! It is an incredible cerebral experience anytime I use it. (For example, as I watch my favorite TV shows, like Lucifer or Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek--yes, I'm a huge geek!--I cannot help but let my mind wander off in some really meta directions every time I use this vape cart...like, to the point where I tend to have to rewatch a scene a few times because I keep losing track of what's happening, but in the BEST WAY--because my mind is processing stuff on an entirely different level--like, "OMG, Neil Gaiman is a genius because this is a meta commentary on how all humans need to be able to tell themselves a story of who they are or want to be--and wow, what a variety of stories our many human cultures have to offer us to choose from, amazing...!!--in order to become who they REALLY are--oh wait, what is this murder they are trying to solve actually about...?? Lemme just rewind a lil bit...". OR, "OMG, Gen Z loves bands like Blondie not just because of memes, but because of the crossover appeal this band offers--after all, they were able to appeal to punk audiences AND disco audiences AND pop/new-wave audiences--AND it turns out that Gen Z actually likes disco I think...!? Because there's definitely a melodic relationship between Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' and the Beegees' 'Stayin' Alive!'" ...lol, yep, total High-deas, but I absolutely love it, and this strain just makes me laugh about it, not paranoid about it.). It's just the right balance of "now I can PROFOUNDLY enjoy my evening routine AND fall asleep quickly and easily whenever I'm ready...!" (My favorite strain of all time is Jack Herer, and now I can definitely see where a huge part of that cerebral high comes from...! If you like Jack Herer, but want something a little bit more sedating/less energizing, this is a perfect option!) I sure hope I can get my hands on this in the future because this could be my new everyday (OK, everyNIGHT) medicine for the foreseeable future...!

Has me more faded than a cow to the slaughter house, and I have a tolerance and consume dabs here and there. I consumed this flower in a xlux roffu (convection dry herb vaporizer) at medium temps. I must say this strain packs a whopper, it has a classic hashish spicy pine woody flavor and aroma with hints of tropical fruit (Mango / myrcene terp). It was smooth inhale/exhale, a little trickle on the throat, but no coughing. Feel heavy like I'm wearing pounds of leaves on me. It's ridiculous that this is a best kept secret indica. I am about to take a kush nap, had to drag myself to write a review and think. If you spot Northern Lights don't fear cop an 8th of it, worth trying at least once in your lifetime, it's a true classic (tm).

Picked up an 1/8th of this from the company called Sunnyside because I'd never after 10yrs of smoking tried the famed Northern Lights and had this on my bucket list. I ended up with smalls in a regular container, nbd, the trim job wasn't the best but the buds were still tight (if not overly dried out....)....I still gave it a chance and lit a bowl of this up, immediately coughed out a lung for about 20 minutes, could not clear the tickle in my throat, chugged a ton of water, ate a spoonful of honey, gargled salt....I was so annoyed until the medicine hit. Wheeeeeeewwww. I had to sit down it was so beautiful. Touching, almost. Suddenly the shit trim job did not matter. At all. Neither did the extremely harsh smoke or coughing fit I had for a long time after. All I knew was I wanted nothing more than to smoke on this strain all day every day. This one sets me right every single time. And it is strong. Would not recommend for a beginner. Just picked up another 1/4 of this the other day, also from Sunnyside, and was extremely pleased to find I'd purchased high quality, dense, BIG nugs, they are so nice & frosty and break down beautifully, best of all they smoke waaaaay better than that first batch and I will say the medicine is STRONG. I had a little joint of these and three hours later I was still riding that high slowly down. Unbelievably nice weed. Hoping I can find it regularly available at my dispo because I do NOT want to miss out on having this in my medicine cabinet at all times. It's just so.....pretty. Beautiful. The experience is majestic. And I never wanna be without it. I can see, fully, why this strain is famed. There's just nothing wrong with it!! I can smoke some 3 hours before bed, have a dance party, clean my room, journal a little, have a snack, then wind down and fall asleep with a soft smile on my face. It's that good and the medicine lasts for so long. Thankful I've got this one around!!
