Northern Lights #5, a pure Indica strain, is celebrated for its potent and numbing effects, making it ideal for those seeking a focus and relaxation. With a 26% THC level, it's known for inducing euphoria, creativity, and a sense of upliftment, perfect for nighttime use and improving sleep. However, its strong potency may not suit beginners, and excessive consumption could lead to paranoia, dizziness, and anxiety.
The strain boasts a sweet, citrus, and pine aroma and taste, making it appealing for both recreational and therapeutic purposes. It offers relief from stress, depression, and pain among other conditions including arthritis, bipolar disorder, and migraines. Its broad therapeutic potential covers effects like creativity, happiness, relaxation, and sleepiness, making it a versatile choice for medical cannabis patients.
Northern Lights #5 has been recognized for its excellence, winning the Cannabis Cup in 1989, 1990, and 1992, and continues to be a favorite amongst cannabis enthusiasts for its quality effects.
