This is (like a ton of other folks on here) my absolute favorite strain of cannabis. It really is one of the last true pure sativas, and in my opinion the best landrace sativa in the world. I use it throughout the day and it provides me energy and a creative boost, and I also checked the Aroused box because me and my girl use it a lot, it's a great strain for sex especially in a mixture with something else.
For this to originate for South Africa and have the looks of a kush style grow, it's a interesting flower to say the least. I kept smelling this and it just came up musty in smell. By choice I like indica but felt I needed a switch.
I needed a fair amount to feel the effects but seems to have left me clear headed to face yet another rainy Portland day.
This is the first bud I smoked in over 15 years. So basically, my tolerance was nothing. But I used to smoke a LOT so I was familiar with what I should expect. I bought this at a respectable shop... and I gotta say that the commercially developed product with budmasters who know what they are doing make a stunning difference. This stuff is way stronger than most of the bud from the old black market days where you really didn't know what you were getting... usually grown sloppy whatever bag seed in a basement somewhere or trucked over the border from a desert hillside. OK... so the Durban Poison was recommended as a quality sativa which I wanted because I like to stay active, and like the head trip since I'm a cerebral type. I don't like the couch lock feeling. I was cautious since it has been a long time since I smoked... so I took a smallish piece of bud and put it my new pipe. I took a few hesitant light hits, followed by 2 thick, strong ones and a final lighter but good one to finish off the bud. Within minutes I was quite high and giggling to myself thinking "oh yeah, I remember this." But it kept roaring on and soon I was having a full-on mind flush... I mean... God and Satan both tumbled out of the rainbow, stretching the fabric of time-space as they were launching poetry bombs that would effervesce through me in turn. The psycho-active effect in this batch was sizzling. I didn't trip visually but the head-gymnastics took me for a serious ride. Yeah, I over-did it and it was actually quite stressful because I wasn't prepared. I should have take ONE hit and see how it went. But it was fun and I came down gentle over the next 4 to 6 hours (which was nice) and landed on my feet without crashing which was great. I don't think I want to get that high again for awhile unless its a special occasion and I don't have anything to do, but since then, I have taken one or two hits here and there and felt a nice spacey high that was creative, trippy and let me stay engaged in my day. My re-introduction experience makes me want to indulge only occasionally so to keep my tolerance down. That was amazing.
Despite my initial shock, I found Durban Poison to be a great mental trip with lots of energy without immobilizing you and practically no negative effects except maybe a little dizziness. I found that as I was focused working on something, the high would seem to lift. But as I relaxed, it would return. Strong quality kava-kava root had a similar effect on me.
I felt a real sense of calmness and clarity that made me want to pray and be thoughtful of where I was, music was even more powerful and moving. Great medicine. Recommend for users wanting creative and mindful relaxation.
uplifting, great head feel, very little negative to report, very happy
Wow this strain is something it can be energetic if you want it to or relaxing if you want it to be that's what I got from it it smells like minty basil probably one of the most interesting smelling strain that I've had and it has a nice berry not blueberry but just like a wild berry grape taste I definitely recommend this for pain and nausea I give this a 12 out of 10
I love this strain. I keeps me going through out the day. It makes me move and groove when I need to. No sluggish feeling or wanting to lay back and play video games. Plus it has positive side effects for libido.

This strain is a landrace strain from Africa that contains a rare cannabinoid Thcv unlike thc, Thcv stimulats the mind and has proven to help focus and appatite suppression. It's hard to find a reliable quality vendor for this specific strain due to people over breading this landrace, but goverment controlled vendors are the way to go when shopping for this specific strain.
