Vaped in my MFLB. Earthy, herbal flavor with plenty of piney terps. Head effects are pleasant--euphoric but controlled--and fairly short lived, fading from head to body after only two hours or so. Body high is relaxing, without much dry mouth or eye redness. Uncharacteristically for an indica-dominant hybrid, this strain didn't put me to sleep as it tailed off, which was nice. This would be a good choice for when you're going to be around muggles but you still want to get your swerve on.

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.

Vaped in my MFLB. Spicy, herbal aroma. Flavor a bit like mint and celery. I was curious to try a high CBD, low THC strain and this sounded like it would fit the bill. As anticipated, this strain offers little in the way of "head high"--just a touch of detachment and fuzziness. Relaxing body high. Intense hunger sets in about fifteen minutes after ingesting, followed by an urge to nap a short while later. I'm going to hang onto this for future medicinal use, but I don't think I'll use it recreationally.

Vaped finely-ground in my MFLB. Cheesy pine aroma, delicious cedar taste. I realize it's kind of unfair to judge a strain against its legend, but I did and found it wanting. I expected Gordon Lightfoot, maybe Seals and Crofts, but this was more like Rupert Holmes. Decent though unremarkable high, for both mind and body. I'd give it three stars and leave it at that, but one quality of this strain earns it a bonus star--it keeps you functional no matter how much you partake of it. Take one hit or take a dozen; it doesn't seem to matter. It lifts you up to Wooderson for a little while and then eases you down to Pink for an hour or so. It never takes you to Slater, and that's what makes it great as an all-day variety. Makes spending a weekend working spreadsheet magic way more tolerable.

Vaped coarsely-ground in my MFLB. Mild aroma, pleasant fruity-tart flavor like peach skin. Good, strong high. Some visual distortion--flattened depth perception and color enhancement. Intense body high, very tingly and uplifted. Felt like being tickled from the inside. Initial high seems to fade after about forty-five minutes, but then returns in waves for another hour. Would definitely buy again.

Vaped in my MFLB. Nice lemon-mint aroma, flavor like fresh-mown grass and pine. Good vapor quality. Hits fast and strong. Fortunately, "DEAR LORD I AM HIGH" settles down after about fifteen minutes to a more manageable "I'm Very High" level. Excellent body effects--deeply relaxing with waves of pleasure radiating from the spine down the limbs. Pairs well with watching "How It's Made". The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that initial rush, which some might find jarring.

Vaped in my MFLB. Little aroma, thin vapor. Flavor a bit like grape soda or strawberries. Onset is a little slow, needing several minutes to ramp up. Effects are very pleasant, if unremarkable. Some brain fuzziness, and a moderate detached feeling. Mental high declines steadily but slowly over an hour. Body high lingers for several hours. Don't let the three stars mislead you--this is a good strain. It's just that we live in a time when truly awesome varieties are plentiful and cheap.

Vaped through my MFLB. Taste was mild and subtle. Didn't seem to produce much vapor, so I stayed on the box longer than I needed to, and ended up pretty darn high. Mostly heady; body effects seemed limited to general relaxation and slight congestion at first--more on that in a moment. Initial high lasted around 90 minutes, fading to a feeling of overall mellowness that went on for another couple hours. I refreshed before going to bed and was rewarded with a magical experience. Every millimeter of my skin felt electrified and my sense of touch was greatly heightened. After luxuriating between the sheets for a good while, I sank into a profound sleep, waking relaxed and satisfied. A+

A long-lasting, quality high. Vaped through my MFLB. Striking aroma, piney and heady. Pine resin carries through as the dominant flavor. The high is a solid sativa high-- whooshy-headed. Tingly body effects, but no couchlock and no temporal or spatial distortions. No complaints, but like Durban Poison, it doesn't quite live up to the Lord-God-Of-All-Sativa reputation that it's acquired.

Vaped finely-ground in my MFLB. Very odd flavor, bitter and funky like old linseed oil. As others have mentioned, it has a very 80s feel to it. My unfounded theory is this has a lot to do with the ratio of THC to CBD and other volatile compounds. Pronounced time dilation, which combined with the brightness probably accounts for this strains reputation as a "get shit done" variety. Good for deep cleaning the kitchen or watching MST3K. You have to consume more of it to achieve the desired effect than you would of a modern strain, but it's worth it.
