Prior to the modern day marijuana market becoming fixated on developing new “hyper-engineered” strains of dessert-type fruity cannabis varieties, there existed one simple, pure Indica variety that was the model for true physical calmness. This cannabis legacy, Northern Lights, was originally developed in the 1970’s in the cool climate of the Pacific Northwest prior to being perfected by Dutch breeding specialists in the 1980’s.
To learn about and experience the essence of original, unaltered heritage cannabis visit Canna City today and check out our large collection of high-quality Buds. Finding a correctly cured batch of authentic Northern Lights in London continues to be the holy grail for those seeking a truly relaxing and meditative experience.
Unlike most modern hybrid strains which attempt to find a middle ground between energizing activity and physical relaxation, Northern Lights takes no such approach. Purely focused on creating a totally calming and relaxing evening experience, it serves as an ultimate “anchor” for unwinding after a long day.
The initial effects begin almost immediately upon exhalation. The user experiences a gentle, warming sensation of clear-headedness, followed by the immediate elimination of distracting thought patterns, time constraints and other forms of mental chaos.
The deeper level of physical relaxation encourages the body to naturally fall into a deep, dream-free slumber.

In visual form alone, Northern Lights is a relic of Alpine history. The buds are extremely compact with tightly layered leaves in rich green colors that are entirely encased in a thick blanket of shiny amber-colored trichomes. Its floral pattern resembles the stars in the night sky — as if it had been exposed to a cold crystal frost from the North.
Its scent rejects current candy-based smells altogether and sticks firmly to its rough-mountain roots. Crushing open a bud reveals a strong odor reminiscent of damp soil, fresh-cut pine branches and sharp woods. Once lit, the smoke is silky smooth going down the throat providing an old-school woody sweetness and incense flavor profile that lasts well beyond the initial inhalation.
