Sour Diesel reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Sour Diesel.
July 9, 2016
A short high. I'm a fairly new smoker so it lasted me a good two hours. It isn't super fast hitting but give it a good 15-30 minutes and you are waavyyyy. Instantly makes you happy for no apparent reason, & makes you laugh at stupid shit. The smell is suuper loud and SUUUUUUUPER loud when grinded. It smells and tastes like lime and wood with diesel. Very fun to smoke I would say.
Simply love this strain. The sour/sweet plus Diesel taste, I thought I would hate it. Quite the contrary. The sour and sweet is dominant in your mouth. But it smell a lot like gasoline or diesel fuel when unlit. Still a discreet smell when you walk near a busy street with a lot of cars. Gives you a great mental uplifting full of happiness and joy since your problems vanished for the moment you're high. I will definitely buy more of this girl because right now I feel empowered because of it!!!
Sour diesel is great it really helps me out with my ADHD and keeps my focus at a maximum while keeping my spirits uplifted and my thoughts happy as well. While I wouldn't classify this as a patrol or gasoline on from it's Chemdog side, it does provide a 50-50 side of Sativa and Indica. If you're looking to break through to your creative roadblock and put you on the right track again sour diesel can accomplish this for you beware of it's dry mouth and pungent kick it has.
smoking Sour D is like breathing gods cologne. The wonderful experience begins long before you light up. as soon as you arrive at your pickup location you will know there is something special behind the counter (or stashed in the mattress). The smell of diesel fumes and lime juice hits your nose as soon as you see the bag and is simply intoxicating, it tickles the airway with its pungent citrus aroma from your pocket all the way back home. Now that its in your house you will undoubtedly begin to break up this amazing nugget of happiness, at which point the scent will begin to flower into a glorious bouquet, tainting the air with a tinge that makes your mouth water. When you finally put a flame to your newly acquired vegetation your taste buds will be slammed on the first hit with a flavor that mirrors the smell of this bud in a way few others can, it is in short everything you would expect it to be. With each hit you take the pungent flavor notes begin to recede bit by bit until they settle on a plateau where they tease your desire for the unique flavor. It is usually at this point that one begins to realize just how medicated they have become, your mind is racing brilliantly darting seamlessly from one conceptualization to the next making new connections between bits of information you have stored away and in turn creating a new cache of ideas and information. As the high settles into a mellow buzz the creativity peaks and the energy of the high slowly settles into a relaxed sleepy state at which point your are left with the two incredible options of; lighting up again, or going to bed. I'm gonna go light up again.
Sour diesel is by far the best chronic I've tried. The effects are phenomenal and I was blasted after a raw joint
I was able to finish all my work without a coffee it's like this strain can replace my coffee all together with the strong mental focus and a desire to complete your task
All I can say is if you haven't tried this strain then you haven't tried true chronic
Method of consumption - Flower; Smoking.

Smell - I will divvy this category up in three pieces; Full flower, grounded up flower, and smoke.
Full – Sour Diesel lives up to its’ name. It’s smelly, sour, and definitely pungent. It’s not a strain you want to carry and hide with at the same time.
Ground – Here, I thought the full bud was stinky. I was awfully wronged. My face immediately lit up as I work at the grinder. I knew what I’m going to have from the smell alone.
Smoke – I am not a fan of gasoline/ kerosene in terms of scent, but oddly the combination of herb and diesel is okay in my books now. It’s an acquired “scent”, I suppose. Haha.
----
Taste – This strain isn’t something you want to savor when it comes to taste. It’s bitter beyond belief. However, I occasionally can detect a faint citrus profile. It’s also mildly spicy.
----
Effect – Sour Diesel is, actually, my first sativa strain to try. Ever. I only had hybrids or indicas. I don’t know what to expect of a sativa.
The head high was immediately evident after few hits. It was uplifting and intellectually stimulating. Almost a euphoric ecstasy, if you will.
I felt the need to stay busy; Alert, creative, and restless. I’m tidy person, but I could do an entire house spring cleaning easily, twice, with this strain. I can imagine this could pair up well with breakfast on the go. (Maybe not with coffee.) Or, when you need a little pick-me-up after a long day, this would work.
Did help with my pain, but not as much. I’d like to believe it’s possibly because it’s not noticeable like the head high it was giving me. I’m not even mad because I still feel great after the buzz is gone. Every time. (I need to clarify; I don’t give a strain a solo chance. I had, around, four to five grams of this.)
Although, I need to put a warning label for this because… If you overdo it with Sour Diesel, you’ll regret it. This strain can cause anxiety attacks, paranoia, and general uncomfortableness. Fortunately, I didn’t have an attack but I did feel weirded out and a bit paranoid. Lesson learned, but at most it’s easily cured by sleeping it off or allow yourself indulge into munchies. (Not necessarily a negative. Just an inexperienced move I made which could end up as a good tip/ lesson for others.)

Negatives – [[DRY MOUTH]] -- Steel your throats up because this strain will claw at them like it’s nothing. I had a horrible case of dry mouth but, it was like a straight-from-the-bottle Scottish whiskey burn feel. And, don’t be surprised if you wake up with a feeling of your entire esophagus being caked with something. The dry mouth effect is honestly off the charts.
Here’s a tip. I learned that I find it more manageable if I did, somewhat, smaller hits, replace the (drinking or bong, your choice) water with chilled / cold peppermint tea, or put an entire water bong in the freezer.

Munchies – I’ll give it a 7.5 on the scale of 1 to 10. It’s medium high. Easily ignored if you wait for an hour or more, but at the same time it isn’t if you are hungry.
---
Extra – Highly recommended for whoever are sativa lovers (I was referred to this by one), whoever needs to be up and going, whoever needs the creative boost, and such. This strain is also a “social” strain as well as it uplifts you up or fill you with funnies.
Thanks to this strain, I now can believe that I’m more of a hybrid gal. I will continue to try more sativas in short (and long) future. Don’t get me wrong, this one is amazing. One of my top choices actually.
My medical conditions are anxiety, Crohn's disease, insomnia, migraines, PTSD, and spinal injury (disc herniation).
A major head high, gives a spacey yet intrigued sense. You will want to ponder life and see new meanings but easily forget where you are and will not care one but because you feel so good.
I didn't think the smell or taste was as pungent as most people say on here but the high was a very cerebral, out of body, dreamy high. if you like your weed to let you stay in control then I wouldn't recommend it. I went to buffalo wild wings last after shredding some sour d and I noticed quite quickly that it was too strong for me to be in public. sour D really opens your mind and makes you feel great and I really loved it
