Durban Poison reviews

Omg I have found the holy Grail of strains for my ocd and anxiety. Durban Poison has completely changed my life. I have chronic ocd, anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. I was terrified to try Durban Poison because of my anxiety because most high energy sativas cause me anxiety to get worse but I need the energy to make me get up to do anything. This makes finding strains that help get my body going without worsening my mental state am absolute nightmare but I didn't give up. Until now Jack Herer had been my go to strain, which is great, but not enough energy for me. I noticed the terp profile of dp to be very similar to Jack, as well as the smell, and decided to try it. I'm blown away. It gives me an instant change in my mental state almost as soon as I take a hit. I go from down and depressed to happy and uplifted. Then after about a half a gram I'm a totally different person. It not only makes me be able to get up and going, but makes me want to. Almost have to at times. I actually don't mind talking to people, going out, or just go for a walk, play with my dog, or just hang out with my wife. Durban Poison has changed my life so much for the better and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm not saying it will work for everyone but it sure does for me. I'm so glad it didn't let my fear of anxiety and my o.c.d. keep me from finding this wonderful medicine because that's what it is. It's helped me more than any pill or psychiatrist has in the 46 years I've been on this Earth. Now I've found a retailer that I can afford to get a qp at a time from and every month if needed. Most months I don't smoke that much but I do smoke at least 3 of the 4 oz each month. It's that good and I'm that messed up that I need that much. But I highly recommend getting this landrace strain. There's a reason why it was brought here in the 1970's and is still grown, unchanged, until this day and is insanely popular. It the perfect plant.

A friend turned me on to Durban Poison as a potential workday solution. I use my brain, attention span, and communication extensively for long hours every day but have currently been unable to function on most strains for fear of not being on my game. DP is definitely one of the limited number of strains that I can ride with at work! It produces a level-headed mellow stone that instantly elevates my mood from “f**k it!” to “let’s do it!” which is a perk; however, the greatest factor is the way it helps me zone in on a conversation or task and actually stay focused as opposed to being cloud-9 scattered brained, immensely euphoric, or zoned out like other strains. So, it definitely keeps you in the moment and feeling good enough to confidently trudge through the day without having that anxious chronic narrative in the back of your mind that keeps asking, “Dude, am I f**ked up?” So, no worries about having the senseless thought flood! Also, DP is super chill on the body and doesn’t produce any CNS stimulation or anxiety, which is another great perk! Along that line, unlike some mellow/focused highs, DP is a strain you can enjoy sex on (and I mean, reeeaaally enjoy it!). As previously stated, you can get super absorbed in whatever you are doing at the moment without being sidetracked, and it will definitely enhance that activity! Smoke is smooth and flavor is an olfactory delight! Pungent pine-sol mids, subtle honeysuckle that sticks in the nose nicely, and earthy undertones that aren’t too heavy or bitter. In summary, if you need to relax, get shit done, and be in a better mood doing it (whether that be managing a heavy cognitive workload, having sex, or just chillin’ on the couch), DP is a great choice!

Strong but very clean head high. One of the purest sativa strains I've had in a long time. It isn't the tastiest by any stretch but not awful. The high sets in nearly immediately, going straight to the head. I feel no body stone with this one whatsoever. (Which is good if you've got things to do) Durban Poison increases my ability to concentrate and boosts my enjoyment while performing tasks. Dry mouth is definitely an issue so keep some water nearby. I didn't experience the munchies at all with it either. It is a fantastic strain and I wish I would have bought more! I had live rosin badder from UpNorth (https://www.upnorthhumboldt.com) using a Puffco Peak Pro.

I got this strain in a pre roll to try before the gym. To test it out at home I took about 5 hits from it and it gave a really nice uplifting high , I had so much fun just cleaning and making dinner / meal prepping. I felt focused and energetic, after an hour and a half I started to feel tired , I’m not sure if that was the high tapering off or I was just tired and it was 9 at night by this time. I think this would be a good strain before the gym but not 5 hits from it, I think 2-3 would be a great to lock into a workout and have some extra fun with it. I have ADHD and anxiety and it didn’t make racing thoughts worse at all!!! I am very careful with sativas bc some make my thoughts race and I feel like I can’t breath. But this didn’t do that at all. I felt mentally a bit calmer actually but my body just felt like it had more energy and I could direct my mental energy more easily instead of feeling as scattered as I usually do.

My friend I were completely Durbanized via the Poison. We had so much fun. She was visiting and had the opportunity to smoke after a long hiatus. She eats gummies because she and her mom and young son live together and her mom doesn’t know she smokes so she stayed LIT while with me. Being Durbanized is an overall spectacular feeling. We laughed and walked aimlessly all over the city having a great time with no care about time and lasting effects of good energy. It didn’t give me the coughs but it did her and we chalked that up to coming out of OG retirement and being overly excited. Neither one of us had munchies and in fact we didn’t have an appetite at all. We made charcuterie boards daily so we could nibble because we had to soak up all the champagne that paired quite nicely with Durban. That combo produced stupid belly aching laughter. It’s definitely worth trying and I’d suggest getting outdoors for a better experience.

It's THE ONE. If I ever tried my hand at growing, I've already pre-promised myself I'd do a simple as pie landrace Durban Poison, no frills. It's one of those things the Gods put on Earth as is for our pleasure and it's already perfect. No tweaking needed. Although i have definitely had some great hybrids with a Durban lineage, such as Grapefruit Durban from the Cresco Brand here in PA. But the whole thing is just one big event of creative and energetic euphoria. If you're a music maker, this is definitely a strain for you. Get the brain working in addition to providing a clarity that doesn't kill the buzz, only hones it to a more perfect blend of effects. It's the ultimate wake-n-bake when it comes to landrace sativa in my opinion. I've had different batches with different smells. Usually piney and sweet with a hint of that "cat pee" smell, as some people have said. I definitely smell the "cat pee" but my wife hates when I say that because it sounds gross, lol. But it's just this funky ammonia thing going on, I guess that's where the hint of old urine comes from? It sounds silly, but trust me, you'll get a batch one day and think "do I have a cat now, and where did it pee?". I feel like that last line doesn't fit well into such a positive review, but trust me, no matter how that stank stanks, Durban Poison is a surefire classic that will never let you down.

This strain does not check all the boxes, medically, for me. But holy hell there is nothing better for my MDD than Durban Poison. The taste is like grass, so nothing stands out in the flavor category, but the effects make this one of my Mount Rushmore strains. I instantly feel uplifted, and then it brings a clean energy while my breathing noticeably slows down. I feel like I am getting twice the oxygen to my lungs, and my ability to focus on a project for work is on-point. This is the ultimate working strain if your job requires sustained attention or even “thinking outside the box”. In smaller doses, the positive effects of treating my depression and ADHD are still there, and nobody can tell I am medicated. The only negative is this does nothing for my chronic joint pain, but I don’t care. I can accept the pain while using it.

Bought an eighth from Full Moonz in Northern MA, a classic strain inspired by my old man introducing me to the older varieties. A woody and pine nose followed by a faintly chemical but woody flavor gets the party going. This strain is indeed a party! It keeps you active, you’re gonna want to indulge in video games, something creative, or something sexy after having this because it does indeed heighten everything! Heck even watching soccer highlights is fantastic. Downside to this is that you wake up (if you do it late night like I do) feeling like a vampire on a day pass: groggy, hungover-like, and craving sweet energy drinks. A day strain for sure but a good night strain if you’re not ready for bed quite yet ;)
