Into the Pines: Northern Lights Indica Review for Canadian Smokers

There’s something timeless about Northern Lights — not just in name, but in effect. This isn’t your typical “knock-you-out” indica. It’s a slow descent into calm — like walking through a pine forest after midnight.

You don’t smoke this strain to party. You smoke it to pause.

The Experience: One Joint, One Journey

We lit up a fresh roll of Northern Lights AAAA just after sunset. The first pull? Sweet pine, almost minty, with a subtle earthy kick. No harshness — just a smooth inhale and a creeping calm that started in the shoulders and worked its way down.

Within 15 minutes:

•  Mental chatter? Gone.
•  Body tension? Melted.
•  Time? Felt like it slowed in the best way.

Why This Batch Hits Different

Northern Lights is an old-school strain, but this AAAA batch from The Purple Shop elevates it with:

• Proper curing (none of that overdried fluff)
• A 30% THC punch that doesn’t feel overwhelming
• Trichome-heavy buds that glisten before you even bust them open

It’s not fancy. It’s just real.

Final Take: Northern Lights, Reimagined

We didn’t expect to fall in love with a classic. But this version of Northern Lights reminded us why we smoke in the first place — to feel grounded, quiet, and human again.

If you’ve forgotten what good indica feels like… this one brings you back.
