Used this for the first time in a vape pen while on a mini vacation...LOVED IT!!! Bud Tender at AZNM recommended it since I would be flying and it would be easier to pack then flower and they were right on. also in the smoke free hotel it is almost odorless and smoke less. As far as the strain Durban poison goes it was very effective kept focused yet relaxed on our busy trip
Okay, probably the best high I've ever had.
So in the past I used to have some very strange phobia of Marijuana, even though I used to smoke it frequently and enjoy it quite a lot. I've been trying to get over my strange fear by smoking small amounts again. I think what caused my strange fear is that "stoner-minutes" and affects like that always freaked me out.
ANYWAY a few friends brought over some Durban, saying it was a Sativa (my favorite) and that it sounded like something I might want to try. At first I mainly took the sloppy-seconds from their hits, but ended up taking enough to get high. I felt no paranoia, I did feel energized and happy, and it COMPLETELY got rid of my visual snow during the duration.
Later when I was on the come-down I ended up taking my own hits, and maybe took a bit too much for a light-weight like me. After the last few hits I took, I remember walking into my house and just kinda.... nope. I was gone. I sat on my couch with my muscles feeling so relaxed I could hardly move and my thoughts racing, I couldn't keep a subject on my mind for more than one second. This was probably the highest I've ever been (I'm a mega-lightweight and usually just stick to a few reasonable hits for my anxiety and visual snow) and usually when I've had this much, I freak out. But it was actually pleasant this time. Like of course I would have rather not been as high, but I wasn't flipping a bitch.
Coming down was nice and relaxing, it did make me feel sleepy, but not like I was going to pass out any second.
Sorry for the long review... but I usually like when people go into detail so.. hah.
As a man who has smoked cannabis for 43 years, I have been lucky enough to try many ,many different strains of marijuana.
Durban Poison will always be in my quiver of medicines, as the effects are uplifting, clear headed, yet a feeling of being carefree envelopes the user.
The smell of Durban Poison is unique in the cannabis world...an overwhelming deep fruitiness smell of the buds is a treat for the nose, and the stickiness of a well grown plant will make it hard to grind, as it will gum up the works.
Pass that joint around, and have some fun. Like that old bumper sticker said:
"Ass, Gas, or Grass....Nobody Rides for Free"

A good choice for leaving your house. If you have stuff to do its a good energenic boost.
This strain is my favorite sativa, and I buy it whenever I can. I am ADHD and struggle with doing necessary tasks, and the first thing i did after smoking was clean up my desk lol. great daytime weed, great weed for working / being productive/ being creative (got me through studying for finals, surprisingly helpful). Would recommend this strain to anybody, but, for my fellow ADHD stoners,I think that this is about as close to adderall as weed gets

Energized, focused high that feels, for lack of a better term, speedy. Thoughts come quickly, there's a tendency to fidget and find yourself wanting to move around. This would be great for a day of cleaning / chores or even board games with friends.
Other upside is the THCV in this strain - no munchies! It suppresses the appetite, which might be an issue for some people.
Downside is the edginess. It's not a happy, carefree high. It can cross over into anxiety and irritability. Definitely a strain whose experience is linked to your state of mind. Returning to and maintaining a positive mindset softens the edge.
It feels like a strain made for buckling down and getting to work. It seems to break the cycle of overthinking but it puts you in the mindset of a workaholic parent who neglects their children. Or Gordon Ramsey, as my friend pointed out.
A unique, treasured strain that lives up to the hype. Doesn't look amazing and taste is open to opinion, some love the taste whilst others hate it, myself I found it somewhere in between. Smell is also unique, kind of spicy, earthy like the taste. Effects are wonderful, mood increases after about 5-10mins and peaks after about 20mins gradually fading over the next hour or so to leave very little hangover. Best enjoyed with company and outdoors.
I would recommend this to people suffering from depression in particular as the mellow head high is very enjoyable and clear allowing the person to go about their day with increased peace of mind. Pure genetics and thoroughly recommended. I'd give this strain a 9.5/10.

Migraine pain 6; nausea 5 when I medicated round 1300 or so. Takes bout 5 min to start working. Pain/nausea gone. Head high strong but also energetic; got my laundry all folded & put away. Body high saved my @$$ from goin to the ER today; pain was goin bad fast before medicating. Piney/skunky taste, I love a good taste to my meds. Really makes for a positive experience. Highly recommend for daytime use for pain/nausea. :-)
