NL is one of the most complex starins I've came across with. No wonder it's still the shit after half a century of existence. I've heard a whole variety of different descriptions, so I guess you really have to be picky with the genetics, mine were from sensi seeds. Now with the effects: it gets you high as hell everytime, no matter what's your tolerance level. People say its completely indica but mine had a great cerebral effect, it's not an uplifting or speedy efect it's kinda psychedelic, trippy, sometimes creepy if you smoke a lot of it. I swear, sometimes me and my friends start to get really paranoid and triping about everything. It's definatly a stay at home weed, perfect to get baked with some friends and just laugh until your face starts to hurt. The body stone is completely narcotic, but it ain't hipnotic, after the stone (almost 2 hours+/-) wears of you get pretty couch-locked maybe even tired if smoked at night but I wouldn't say it's good for sleeping. One thing that really impressed me is that if you smoke a good joint at night and you go to bed high you'll wake up the next day still a bit high (I know it may sound crazy), thats how strong it is. Sometimes I can't finish a whole joint by myself. Now, the bad aspects is that you can't function well and control yourself near other people. Another bad aspect is the taste, it's very hashy with hints of pine and earth, very overwhelming, not my cup of tea and definetly the worst about this dinossaur strain. One thing to say before closing: if it's real northen lights you'll always get baked as hell!!!!

Am so calm and relaxed and normal/not sick feeling right now. I feel better than I have in days (have been fighting a bug) and this strain is one of my favourites.

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.
