Have you seen the Northern Lights?

Have you seen the Northern Lights? We love the fun names of marijuana strains, especially when we can bring a little philosophical meaning to them. When the names could be described to match the different effects of the cerebral and body “high” users will feel, it makes for a strain medical marijuana patients will seek out. Northern Lights is the perfect example of this. For those of you are not familiar with the “Northern Lights”, the term refers to a natural phenomenon in the sky when electrically charged particles from the sun collide in the earth’s atmosphere. The light display may come in many colors (green being our favorite) and only happens every great once in a while. The Northern Lights cannabis strain is a pure indica, originally from Holland. It is a beautiful marijuana strain with wide fingered indica leaves and buds glowing with resin. The terpenoid’s of this strain produce a sweet and spicy taste and smell while acting as a muscle relaxant and anti-depressant. (Click here to learn more about indica and sativa.) This hazy green flower produces effects that will take patients into a creative, euphoric and relaxed state. Patients describe a feeling of emotional uplifting and body sedation. The perfect collision of cognitive and physical effects. Similar to the stimulation of senses one would feel while watching the sky for a natural phenomenon and appreciating the wonder of the universe. What a beautiful sight. The sedative effects of Northern Lights may help with insomnia and chronic pain, taking patients into a state of serene relaxation. The Northern Lights strain may help patients relieve stress and depression.
