Northern Lights
9/27/2021
Let me start by saying that I initially was attracted to this strain because of its alleged pain relieving qualities. I am in my mid-50s and a desk worker for most of my life, so as you can imagine my back is not in the best shape.
Things have been getting progressively worse though over the course of this year and a few months ago things progressed from generalized low back discomfort into full-blown sciatica. Eventually, I ended up having to get an epidural injection in my spine to relieve the pain. That injection was one of the single most excruciating things I have ever experienced right up there alongside childbirth.
After the injection I went home and crawled into bed and attempted to make myself comfortable but nope, that wasn't happening, even with the Perc from the Rx. Cue Northern Lights: it took about 10 draws on my disposable vape pen, and the pain just sort of melted away. It's day 4 after injection and there's still a little pain there, but it's much more manageable.
The reason it's a 4 star rating is that it rips my throat up something fierce when I vape it. Next time I'll try flower.
