Summary Before Consuming: I’m writing part of this before smoking tonight because this strain will KNOCK YOU OUT. I’ve suffered from insomnia & non-stop lucid nightmares every night for 2 years now. I’ve seen “sleep specialists”, therapists, psychiatrists, & have exhausted all options of medications to try to mitigate this problem. I’ve either been told there’s nothing wrong with me, or have received medications with terrible side effects that don’t even help. Enter Northern Lights #5: For the first time in literally years I was able to sleep without using alcohol & without having constant nightmares, & woke up earlier than usual before my alarm refreshed rather than in the middle of an anxiety attack which f-cks up the entire day in addition to making my pre-existing anxiety/depression even worse. Cannabis has already helped with my sleeping issues but Northern Lights has been the most effective. One hit from my vape pen last night & after a woody, earthy, clean hit I immediately felt my body tingle & muscles relax with a borderline psychedelic head-in-the-clouds mental relaxation as well. The need to sleep sets in almost instantly & I fall asleep in minutes. If you suffer from insomnia or any sleep disorders I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Northern Lights. Also melts away my major depression & anxiety disorders. I imagine it would work very well for those dealing with pain at night as well. The only caveat I have with it is that at such a high THC percentage (89.9% Liquid Live Resin Cartridge) and no CBD in the batch I had, it does occasionally make me a bit paranoid/anxious when I take that first hit and blast off. But that usually subsides as it starts to settle into my system. After Consumption Summary: On exhale from one hit, whole body is glued to bed. There’s no getting up. All stress is gone instantly. Body & head are tingling very pleasantly. A few minutes later, I’m totally relaxed & will be falling asleep shortly. Northern Lights #5 Liquid Live Resin Cartridge by Cresco Reserve: THC-82.896%, THCA-6.014% CBD-0% Total: 89.91%

I am still pretty new to using marijuana for medical purposes. I have a hard time finding products that do not cause difficult negative effects along with the positive. Some help my pain, but make my anxiety go off the charts, others calm me, but don’t help my pain. But this strain has changed EVERYTHING for me! It makes my pain melt away, I feel happy and light hearted and my anxiety disappears. Plus, despite being an Indica, it makes me energetic and motivated. I have been finally starting to make huge improvements and live more normal days for the first time in years! I don’t feel overly goofy, and feel more like myself than I have in a long time. It helps with my chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, stomach issues including Gastroparesis, IBS and acid reflux and to calm the neuropathy and muscle spasms in my feet and legs. I can’t be more thankful for this strain giving me my life back! My friends and family say that they can see how much better I feel and how much happier I am, but that I don’t seem high. They are actually surprised when I tell them I vaped this because I seem just like my normal old self from before I had these medical issues! I used this strain from a Cresco Reserve LLR cartridge. Thank you Northern Lights #5!!

A little bit goes the distance with this. It almost creeps up on you in a natural way. In tiny amounts, it is great during the day to reduce stress and anxiety! And great at night to fight insomnia!

This strain is simply amazing. I typically favor Sativas due to Indicas usually knocking me out but I did not have that problem with this one. Prior to smoking this, my favorite strain of all time was Super Lemon Haze due to the mental boost with introspection. Well, I got that with this, but also total body relaxation. First strain I have ever smoked which has this invigorating cerebral effect combined with total, amazing couch-locked tingly bliss. 5 stars. Amazing.

Let me tell you a story, about NL#5 being imported from Amsterdam in 1992. A beautiful girl, Eva, brought back seeds in her bra on the airplane. She also brought back, some of the actual coffeeshop bud. I smoked it. From the taste explosion of flowers and sugar, came multi-colored shooting stars in my vision peripherals - before I exhaled each hit. It was not an energizing high, it was blissful, without being stupefying. A kind 'Awesome' feeling without the fear. When those seeds were grown, we found a mix of SK1 phenos, NL2 rogues, and And a classic SK1 x NL5. NL5, in a perfect world, if I could get real NL5, would be my go to for evening/night.

My current go to absolute favorite strain from Trail Blazin. Gives a very tingly happy high that is incredibly relaxing. Good for end of the day, I often fall asleep very quickly after.
