Perfection.
It gives you energy, lots of feelings of well-being, I was very surprised because my body feels much better than with Indica strains. With Indicas, if I have a microscopic rock in my shoe it is going to be bothering me for a while, but with DP you just feel good generally.
It also causes lots of giggles and keeps you completely clear-headed, you do forget some stuff though, but not when you're speaking, your conversation is always rational.
This strain also does not cause paranoia, like 0%, it's the strain I've tried that causes the least and it's a Sativa!
It gives a rational amount of munchies and after many hours it slowly eases you down into feeling sleepy
I smoked it at 9:30 pm and went out for the night, came back home at 2:30 am, smoked it the whole night and by the time I came back home it was already feeling tired and sleepy even though I had another toke of DP.
Now it's my favorite weed, it's also quite gentle, I don't see how you could smoke too much of it, it's not overpowering, the feeling good effects last long but the euphoric giggles need many tokes during the night to keep it up.
Hands-down the best strain for depression and anxiety while staying productive and busy during the day.
I must say that there something about this strain that really works for me personally. I myself have been weening myself off of anti depressants to treat OCD and Tourettes syndrome this strain has greatly reduced the side effects of withdrawals caused from the pills. On a side note this strain has greatly supported better sleep for me even though this is considered a sativa which promotes wakefulness this does the exact opposite which I thoroughly enjoy.
Since first reading about it decades ago, Durban Poison has been my Holy Grail of Pot, promising a clear, transcendent high that was at the opposite end of the spectrum from the intense, drowsy stone offered by the indoor-grown indicas so prevalent in my area in the days before legalization. I'll cut to the chase--I've had better cannabis, and better sativas. That said, I'm not at all disappointed with this strain. The flavor (vaped as finely-ground flower in my MFLB) is outstanding, sweet and peppery like raw parsnip. Head high is pronounced and "up", as you'd expect. This is a two-edged sword, though, and here's why: a potent sativa like Durban Poison can only ever be enjoyed to the fullest when you've got all your ducks in a row. When your mind is at ease and you can afford to mentally check out for a while, you are rewarded with blissful spirals of contemplation. However, if the cares of the world are stuck in the back of your mind--bills to pay, looming deadlines, trouble at home--these same spirals focus and magnify your worries, making for literal "high anxiety". Body effects are relaxing to the point of fatigue and accompanied by insatiable thirst and dry mouth. But body effects aren't why you're interested in this strain, are they? Listen, on a warm summer afternoon when your shit's all taken care of and you've got access to a hammock and a couple brews, Durban Poison should be your pick. No doubt about it. But if you can't enjoy it in ideal conditions, maybe set it aside until you can.
I hadn't been high in 100 days and this was the first strain I smoked. What a great choice. Although the cerebral high was strong, it was never overwhelming...actually rather enjoyable.
It is 100% percent a mind experience. I was so energetic and any stress or rotten mood I may have had just disappeared. It was wonderful. Just do not smoke this if you plan on sleeping any time soon. It would be perfect for an outdoor adventure, especially hiking.
I've been waiting a long time to try this strain and it was well worth the wait.
To date, this is the clearest head-high I've found. As I struggle with ADHD, I take medication in the morning that keeps me focused during the day. The problem arises in the evenings / at night, if I have an assignment that still needs FULL attention. The medication's effects are long-gone by then, so I'm now experimenting with a variety of Sativas in the evenings.
Around 8:30pm, I took quite a few heavy inhales on my vaporizer, and, within a few minutes, I couldn't wait to embark on my school paper - Something I've never said before! :) I definitely felt a burst of energy and motivation. Lastly, it's worth noting, I felt more confident in the actual writing itself; I didn't find myself second-guessing my work nearly as much as usual.
If you're looking for a dose of motivation, look no further than this strain!

I got this from The Lightshade Dispensary in Denver, Colorado. The budtender recommended it to me for my anxiety and said it was less likely to give me a panic attack. Well, she was right. It gave me a clear-headed, light high that shot away any negative thoughts that came down into a calm chill mode. A very "I don't care, I'm chillin' " type of attitude. The only way people could tell I was high was because of my red eyes, otherwise I could go out in public after smoking this because of how alert I still was. The only negatives would be that I got the munchies something serious lol and I also got a headache after...
A little about myself: I use to smoke a lot of Sour D and Loud in NY while in college. I ended up stopping for a couple of years. The 1st time I smoked again I got a horrible panic attack from something that seemed to be a heavy Indica, I didn't even know the name of it. (I know, dumb as fuck) but ever since then I've been really cautious. With that being said, I consider myself a light smoker now. Depending on how strong a strain is I could take 2-3 sturdy pulls then I'm good enough NOT to be completely zooted to the point of a panic attack. With Durb, I can go back for more with no worries.
All-in-all, I rate it a 3.5-4 stars in comparison to other bud I've tried. I recommend this to beginners and to people who have anxiety or have experienced panick attacks with heavy Indicas. I also recommend taking it during the day as it gives you a boost.
