I would say this is very close to being my number one top strain that I can always depend on. It makes you happy, creative, focused and it always motivates me to get things done when I don't feel like doing anything. It doesn't hit you with energy or anything and its never given me anxiety like others have stated. Just an "old school pot" stoney vibe that hits just right and tastes amazing. Like a fruity herbal mixture that's absolutely delicious. I can't say enough good things about this classic! I smoke this whenever I can get it!

This is def my pain/sleep strand. Not harsh on the lungs but has a mellow, earthy, pine profile in flavor. I love to combine this with Oreoz or another indica dom heavy strand and zip off to bed shortly after. All of the lovely effects of a couch-lock without the need to eat ur house down. Usually the flower is heavily frosted and displays beautiful purple hued leaves. This is just a staple in my house. This is my nighttime teddy bear of a strand. Makes me feel safe and Don’t wanna sleep without it.

Since the first time I tried nl#5 in the early 90’s the sweet overwhelming pine with just a crisp cool inhale. There is something special about the flavor and high of this strain that has not changed in the slightest. If you know, you know.

Some strains make you happy. Some make you feel uplifted. A few strains actually make you feel euphoric. Northern Lights #5 offers full-on euphoria combined with head-to-toe body relaxation. If you use it before bed you'll probably fall asleep, but it's still a strain that you can use anytime, day or night. The last time I smoked this was 30 years ago(!) and I've been looking for it ever since. The full-blown euphoria and relaxation was on the verge of psychedelic. I finally came across some NL#5 flower, and the first hit from my bowl took me back 3 decades. My expectations were crazy-high, and it met them all.

The first time I smoked Northern Lights, I laid on a pull out couch listening to Pink Floyd for what seemed like hours. That’s all. No complaints!

Still to this day after smoking since 92' NL #5 is still one of the very best, if you're lucky enough to actually smoke legit NL#5 then you know exactly what I'm talking about 💨🔥🔥🔥😋🤤.

Awesome! Clear head high with a slight tingle body high all while feeling a bit extra creative. Might be a new favorite of mine…
