Northern Lights: Ideal Cannabinoid Ratio

Some strains hit like a whisper. Northern Lights doesn’t. It’s a full-body exhale, a slow-motion fall into the couch, a warm blanket thrown over your brain. Old-school indica, pure and unapologetic. People talk about it like folklore—because it kind of is. Bred in the '80s, probably somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, maybe Holland. Nobody agrees. Doesn’t matter. What matters is how it feels.

Now, cannabinoid ratios—yeah, that’s where things get interesting. Northern Lights usually leans heavy on the THC. We’re talking anywhere from 16% to 21%, sometimes more if someone got fancy with the grow. CBD? Practically nonexistent. Like, trace amounts. You’re not smoking this to “balance your endocannabinoid system” or whatever the wellness blogs are pushing. This is for zoning out. For melting. For shutting up that voice in your head that won’t stop narrating everything.

Ideal ratio? Honestly, straight-up THC dominant. 20:1, 30:1, even higher. That’s what gives it the punch. The sedative, eyes-half-closed, “wait what was I saying?” kind of high. If you’re looking for a 1:1 strain, go somewhere else. This isn’t that. This is the opposite of that.

But here’s the thing—some folks can’t handle that kind of intensity. They get paranoid, or anxious, or just plain weird. If that’s you, maybe sprinkle in a little CBD flower. Or don’t. Maybe just take one hit and wait. Northern Lights doesn’t rush. It creeps. It settles in your shoulders first, then your spine, then your thoughts. It’s not a party drug. It’s a “cancel your plans and order Thai food” drug.

And yeah, some growers have started tweaking it. Breeding it with higher-CBD strains to make it more “approachable.” Meh. That’s like putting training wheels on a Harley. If you want the real thing, look for the classic cut—pure indica, THC-heavy, no frills. You’ll know it by the smell. Earthy, sweet, a little piney. Like wet soil and sugar cookies. It’s weirdly comforting.

I’ve had batches that felt like a lullaby. Others that knocked me sideways. Depends on the grower, the cure, the mood you’re in. But when it hits right? Damn. It’s like your bones are humming. Like your brain finally found the off switch.

So yeah, ideal cannabinoid ratio? High THC, low everything else. No apologies. No balance. Just blissed-out, old-school, lights-out indica. Northern Lights doesn’t care about your productivity. It came to shut things down.
