get ready to walk down the yellow brick road
out in the desert riding my fortune and I decided to bring this one along for the ride.
the clouds are saying there is weather coming do i sit down on a rock to contemplate the patterns over the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada range
I was very excited to try this one.
Durban poison is legendary.
tight crystal covered nugs
smell is a unique earthy mixed with a woodsy diesel smell?
piney taste
You can feel it in your nostrils for a couple minutes
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.
This was the first thing I smoked after two years of no cannabis. Bad Mistake! It might have been the fact I was dealing with a lot in my life at the time, or that my tolerance was absolutely nothing and I smoked a pure Sativa. Plus this was my first "name" strain I had ever smoked. I took one pull from a 6 in tube and held it in for a good 15 seconds and that was it. Over the course of 10 minutes it crept stronger and stronger over me. I could manage it but I kept thinking about and having borderline panic attacks about stuff I was dealing with. At moments I could be content, then like waves that would switch on I would have anxiety. The one hit high I had lasted me a good 6 hrs. Plus it made me not hungry in the least bit. I didn't even want to eat dinner that night. A not very enjoyable way to reenter the cannabis world. On the positive side it did smell great it was a piney, aniseish, and skunky strong smell. The bud was very manicured, well cured and dense. So needless to say I am on the look out for an Indica or Hybrid to ease my way back. I will stay away from those pure sativas till I get my tolerance up. Not for beginners, absolutely not.
Pure Sativa action, like a 2 dollar hooker - all head, no body. Great start to a long drive, tailgating before the big game, or on the way to see a good movie. Great post-sex joint, too! Doesn't taste the greatest, but, neither does sex.
Durban Poison is considered one of the most pure sativas out there. A very energetic high Durban has a unique character to it's buzz as well as its taste. This is a very motivational strain, great for the morning or daytime. Clear and happy one can still function on this strong sativa. That said, proceed with caution, this is a strong psychoactive sativa if you over do it you may feel jittery, agitated and very medicated. Durban Poison tastes like pine with hints of menthol, almost like medicine (or poison?). A highly recommended delicious strain Durban Poison is a great "get up and go" medication.

Easily a new favorite. I have been wanting to try this unique strain for a while and finally got some from the best dispensary in my area. The high is fast hitting and right between the eyes. Overall it is one of the most uplifting highs I have experienced. More so than Green Crack even, Would be perfect for going on a hike or bike ride. Very potent but not anxiety-inducing in the slightest. I highly recommend this as a a great day time strain.
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.
