Indica Dominant Hybrid Strain Indica Dominant Hybrid 95% Indica / 5% Sativa

THC: 22% - 26%, CBD: 1%, CBN: 1%

Northern Lights #5 is not only an award winning strain, but it has been well received and has managed to become immensely popular amongst the masses. It is an indica dominant strain with 95:5 indica/sativa ratio. Since it has 26% THC content, it manages to slam the body into a numbing but equally wonderful lazy mode. Northern Lights #5 looks ordinary and is medium green in color with orange hairs surrounding it. It smells sweet, piney and tangy. It tastes just the same as it smells, but first time smokers are advised to stay clear of it. It is known to be a one hit wonder and the high is overwhelming. It is enough to knock you out for hours. However, you will feel happy and will realize a sense of well-being. For experienced users, it can even instill a sense of creativity all the while increasing focus and concentration. It is true that the strain does have its drawbacks. Negative culprits like paranoia, anxiety and dizziness do exist if the strain is smoked in high doses. But there is no denying the fact that it is a pure sedative strain. With the right quantities a patient can overcome the effects of anxiety and stress. But there are those who prefer it to relieve chains of chronic pain at the same time. Additionally, it is also perfect for individuals suffering from anorexia and eating disorders.

I smoke this strain whenever it becomes available in my area. It is kind of hard to find but so wonderful when you do. Taste is like pine, a bit of tang and spice. It is very herbal and smooth and I hardly cough at all while smoking it. Expands the lungs and is a joy to experience. The smells are a bit piney and earthy. Lastly the effects are so nice. No pain at all, very stoney and happy. I felt a sense of immense well-being and peace and the feeling lasted for hours. I got some work done and then got really into a video game before I finally laid down to relax and was dozing for the rest of the night. The sedative side kind of settles in slowly then caresses you to sleep. This is my number 1 go to strain any day of the week. She doesn't come around often but when she does it's beautiful!

This is the first strain I had after 10 years not smoking. I honestly smoked wayyy more than I should have (probably 8 hits off a joint) and did have a pretty overwhelming experience for the first couple hours. The anxiety faded after a while and I was able to enjoy myself eventually. Definitely not a strain to take lightly! Kept having that "oh shit, what's been going on the past 30 minutes??!!" feeling as I was kind of fading in and out of having control of my brain lol. Having said all that, in moderation, this strain is beautiful.

I took 3 bong hits of this strain and passed out for 4 hours literally. I didn't realize it was so strong but if that's what you're looking for then it is excellent.

Absolutely one of my favorite strains. Just the smell of this flower alone is like berries mixed with a little Earth. High for me was very stoney, creative, body numb and giggles I would definitely recommend smoking this at night because after about 45 minutes you are going to sleep. If you see this strain anywhere please pick it up and revel in its benefits.

Early 90's and this was the shizzle along with silver haze and skunk this was the kindest of the kind. Easy to grow and those beautiful dense and heavy buds. Smoked pounds and now and then its good to have again. Of course it runs through the industry in many strains and will live on forever.

My absolute favorite of all-time from back in the 90's and early 00's. I love the taste and smell. Unfortunately none of the dispensaries in my state carry Northern Lights... Arkansas has a crooked and screwed up MMJ.
