The first time I had Northern Lights, I wasn't all too impressed with it. It was just another strain, nothing unusual or incredible. Not bad by any means, just not great. However, it had been almost a year and some top-shelf Northern Lights was the special at my dispensary, so I decided to give it another go.
Boy was I wrong the first time.
Northern Lights is quite possibly the most hard-hitting strain I've ever smoked. In smaller amounts, it creates a nice body buzz, with just a bit behind the eyes that slowly builds, and has some euphoric effects. In higher amounts however, it's incredibly potent. At its peak, I found myself stumbling in the dark, tingling, and spacing out completely, with a full body and head buzz going, and an incredibly euphoric state. Almost a drunken type of feeling, but without the dizzyness, or the nausea, and with much more control over your mind and body. As it subsides from its peak, it lead me into an incredibly relaxed state of mind and body, where I knew that I would soon want to drift into sleep. As I laid there I had vivid thoughts, and drifted into a nice, deep sleep. All in all a 9/10. Almost a perfect 10, but it could almost be too potent. Definitely a night-time only strain in larger amounts, or else you may find yourself unable to function.
