About Northern Lights
Northern Lights is one of the most celebrated pure indica strains in cannabis history — a cornerstone of the modern cannabis seed market and a parent strain of countless legendary crosses including Shiva Skunk, Super Silver Haze, and Papaya. Developed in the 1980s and refined by Sensi Seeds in the Netherlands, NL delivers a clean, smooth, deeply relaxing experience with minimal mental cloudiness. The body effect is warm and therapeutic.
At OCM-licensed dispensaries in New York City, Northern Lights is appreciated for its reliability and classic indica character. It's a strain that has stood the test of decades without needing a rebrand. For NYC consumers seeking a calming, approachable indica without extreme THC levels, Northern Lights is a perennial recommendation from knowledgeable budtenders across the five boroughs.
