Durban Poison reviews

This strain is, by far, one of my favorites. It gives a very uplifting feel and aided my creativity. With the proper dosage I was able to be active all day and be very social. 10/10 would recommend.

By far my favorite strain. Im more of a sativa girl, and Durban Poison is no doubt the best of sativa in my opinion.

Contrary to most reviews, I've had very mixed results with this strain. However, I believe that to be attributed to a number of different variables. Unfortunately, the quality of the bud I received fell below expectation, even in spite of the understanding that it was sun-grown. It was not dense. It was leafy, fluffy, soft, and perhaps not cured very well, because it didn't appear to be dried to completion. Too often would it fail the "stem test", as I call it. The stem material wouldn't always "snap", as I would expect from well-dried bud. Additionally, I found the herb rather difficult to separate from the stem. This, I believe, allowed for some unwanted stem material to get mixed in with my ground-up herb. This would seem to explain the unpredictable death-hits I would get, of which there were many. They very first time I hit it, I choked out. But regardless of those unpredictable stem-burning hits, it seemed overall a harsher toke. On occasion, it would be more friendly, but for the most part, ripping a Jay would be a bit of a chore. This is partially why I switched to vaping it. And what do ya know? It's 4:20 right now! Anyway, now for the effect. With some exception, I found this particular stuff's effect to be different than what I'd hoped for. Maybe if I had been working with a higher grade that was cured to perfection, I would have had a much better experience. There were only a few times in which I would smoke a Jay, or hit a freshly-packed vape, and recieve great feelings of content, and well-being. My awareness would seem to extend into my environment. At times, it would feel like I was in absolute harmony with my environment, and I'd feel as though I was experiencing myself from an expanded, more harmonious and connected perspective. This is the best thing I can say about my experience with this strain, but it was uncommon. The most common experience I had wasn't nearly as pleasurable. Of course, it would melt one's stress and anxiety upon inhaling, but the main effect, I found to be much less enjoyable than that of other Sativas. I would describe it as a pressure in one's head. A strong pressure, a heavy stoned feeling, and little else. In this case, I would describe it as a "heady" stone, but not very "cerebral". When I say cerebral, I essentially mean psychoactive. It was only really cerebral those few awesome times when it would surprise me. This heady pressure, and heavy stoned feeling would last for what seemed like FOREVER. Now, I'm sure that a long-lasting effect would be favorable to most smokers, but not for me, and not with the stuff I had. The thing is, most Sativas and hybrid strains I've tried have a pleasurable "gradient", as I like to describe it. This gradient often makes for a favorable progression of effects. Not only do you get to experience a variety of changing effects, but these changes help you to not feel so "stuck in time." Unfortunately, this strain did not have that variation. At least, not the bud I had. It was a relentlessly static, and enduring effect. Forget nighttime smoking with this stuff. It just lasted so damn long, and the taper was just the same effect on a painfully-slow decline. At times, especially when trying to sleep, I really felt suspended in time, and that really sucks. Someone described this strain as the "espresso" of weed, and with that, I would absolutely agree. It's a very strong head stone, but not one that I, personally, enjoyed.

Amazing strain! Great for ADD, I love the focus it gives me. After being prescribed adderall & Vyvanse over the years I decided wit switch to medical cannabis. Durban Poison is a perfect substitute for stimulants.

excellent marijuana strain!! love durban poison.

One of my favorite strands, I wish the high would last a bit longer though.

What a great strain, smells wonderful, fruity and tropical, tastes like gatorade gum from the early 90s, the high is fantastic, focused, live, and creative, without being overly energetic. While the high is not as intense or long lasting as some other sativa strains, Durban Poison is an all-time favorite just for the tastes.

Nice smoke. It is a little on the harsh side for me but bearable. High starts out as sharpening everything then progresses to the what I call squishy skull syndrome where your skull feels like it is pliable. From there it is a nice body high that lasts a good while. Though it clogs up my bong I would still go back to this strain again. Have not tried it as a joint.
