If you’re after a strain with serious pedigree, Northern Lights (Indica) is cannabis royalty. It’s one of the best-known classics in the world (and a long-time High Times favourite), celebrated for a high that feels comforting, sedative, and beautifully unhurried.
The experience often starts with a subtle lift – a quiet, content headspace that smooths out the edges – before the body effects roll in properly. Expect deep physical relaxation, heavier eyelids, and that unmistakable “sofa magnet” vibe when you’re ready to power down.
On taste, Northern Lights keeps it timeless: sweet and peppery with earthy, pine-led depth, finishing with a soft, hashy note that feels rich and familiar.
Terpenes (core 3, commonly associated):
-
Myrcene – earthy, musky depth and that classic melt-into-the-cushions calm
-
Caryophyllene – peppery warmth and a grounded, spicy edge
-
Pinene – crisp pine freshness that lifts the aroma and flavour
Northern Lights is often chosen by people looking for support with unwinding, stress, tension, everyday discomfort, and sleep – with many reporting it may help the mind slow down and the body fully relax.
Ideal for: late evenings, winding down, films and snacks, switching the brain off, sleep-focused nights

This strain lives up to the name, an aurora of relaxation, relief, and snoozy sensations.

Oh those Northern Lights. I have a very low tolerance so take it easy with products. One bowl on my Pax and I was nicely buzzing for 4 hours. Great taste, great buzz.
