This is probably one of the most intense strains I've had in recent memory. It harkens to pre legalization back when everything on the LA market was an extremely heavy indica and I am beyond thrilled with that. I love genetics that get in your face and make your heart race and boy does this do both. Immediately after intake you get the craziest euphoric sizzle. The sun feels warmer, colors are vibrant, you're almost too aware of the detail around you. Then the body stone slams in and I could easily see it taking a novice out at the knees. It's perfect for someone seasoned but will more than likely throw anyone not prepared into an anxious and paranoid state. It tastes exactly like it smells but you're here for effect anyway so don't expect a super refined and gentle smoke. Northern Skunk is a new favorite. (Live Resin cart used in this particular experience)

I have this as a 1g cart from cosmic fog and it’s very solid! The first inhales you get the pine/earthy taste from NL. Then with the exhale you get the skunk/pepper taste and smell. (I’m not a fan of those types of tastes) but I absolutely love the high. It’s been a big help with relaxing, my anxiety, and getting things done. So for people who want to get that slight high feeling that’s not intense- I’d recommend this to them!

I love this strain. Have been growing her for over 3 years now and is my main medicine. Having previously had stomach ulcers from anti-inflammatory meds I switched to this as my main source of pain management. When I inhale its so smooth and easy to smoke. If your seeking a good pain management strain I find this one very good. 😊

One of the best strains in existence, grabbed this at a hefty 40 and 8th from my local dispensary as a "top shelf" "bud. Asked the bud tender for the best flower they had in stock and ended up with "Northern Skunk" Let me tell you this strain is straight 🔥🔥🔥 i have been a daily smoker for almost 5 years and this strain finds itself in my top 3. This strain provides a sweet, lemon berry smell, that hits you in the nose, After smoking an L of this I felt one with the couch, my eyes felt as though they were 20 feet inside my head and weighed down, helps me wit sleep, anxiety, back pain, stomach Aches. Make sure to give this strain a try if you see it at your local dispo!

Method of consumption: Volcano Vaporizer Pros: Relaxing and mild pain relief. Some mild euphoria, more on the uplifting side. Cons: Major Dry Mouth. Have something to drink nearby. Taste/ Draw: Earthy/Skunky. While draw was normal, exhale was a little harsh at times with some spice/peppery hints. Overall/Other: No real couch lock, some munchies. Effects started to take place between 5 - 10 mins. More relaxing that for pain use. I would recommend this strain if your looking to relax, both in mind and body. Some pain relief (like taking a couple asprin), but would look elsewhere if your looking for stronger pain relief. Good for just wanting to chill.

Northern Lights x Skunk - High Frequency Farms - THCA 24.3% CANNABINOID TOTAL: 24.3% Immediately upon smelling this strain for the first time, my curiosity arose. I couldn't help but sniff the bag multiple times. Excellent aroma. I could definitely smell a skunkiness but the flower also had a nice piny citrusy dash of pungency. This is a nice bud for a day off or an evening after a hard day's work. On my current off day it helped me with joint pain and sore muscles. I'm sure this one will be nice on a busy day as well. This buzz feels stress free. A must try for any avid recreational smoker or a patient who likes to get a high while feeling pain relieving effects. All in all, very happy with my purchase.
