Northern Lights Marijuana Strain

Indica Strain Indica

THC: 16% - 21%

Few strains come with as much widespread renown as Northern Lights, inarguably one of the most popular strains of all time. An inbred descendant of original Afghani landrace strains, Northern Lights is a pure indica. THC levels can reach 16-21%, making this one of the most potent strains available on any market. A couple hits is all it takes for most patient's seeking this strain's powerful body effects, an upbeat mix of euphoria and physical relaxation. CBD levels are less clear, but they certainly aren't high enough to recommend this as a treatment for seizures or other conditions that respond to CBD. Even so, Northern Lights is a highly useful medical strain, effective at treating anxiety, pain, and insomnia, as well as lack of appetite. Cottonmouth is common, as are red eyes, while other negative effects are much more limited. This strain has a sweet, earthy flavor with hints of citrus. Northern Lights is most popular on the West Coast and in Colorado, but it's a favorite pretty much everywhere else marijuana can be found.

What is there to be said about Northern Lights that hasn’t already been said? There’s a reason this has won so many awards. I’m having serious issues typing. I sampled this via a Stiiizy pod.

I was a bit skeptic on this strain at the dispensary. I had not had Northern Lights in years and was worried it would not hit like it did. It hits pretty good. This one is not as favorable as I remember, but it has been 10+ years and my palate has changed. It smells great though. The buzz is very good too.

The Intellectual Stoner here with my thoughts on Northern Lights. This is an award winning Indica that took the Cannabis Cup in 1990 and it was voted best Indica on multiple occasions. The buds were a light lime green with orange hairs and covered with a fine layer white hairs and crystals. They had an earthy citrus smell to them and I thought I may have caught a little diesel in there as well. The batch I had tested at 25.57% and a nice fruity taste to them. I found the high to be relaxing and euphoric and felt it helpful in relieving my pain and stress. I definitely would recommend this one.

This is a true 100% Indica strain, especially if you get it from a reputable source My favorite Indica by far that I have ever tried. It just brings so much calm and peace, good night sleeps and a definite heavenly couch lock


Can't argue with success. On first try it became my favorite. For me, starts with a mind high, euphoria. It keeps getting better and better, then without much warning turns to the body high and nice couch lock, relaxed, and free of anxiety, stress, tension and nicely sedated. It's that goOD.
