First one. Entergy 3 hits
One of my favorite sativa's. Eliminates my fatigue and keeps me productive. I'm a veteran consumer and this stuff does the trick to get me up and moving. It dulls severe pain slowly, leaving it at a tolerable level. Moderate or acute pain is wiped out, replaced by energy.
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.
One of my favorite sativa strains I have had the opportunity to try here in Colorado. I used to always pick out indicas or hybrids because I can be prone to anxiety but I went in to my dispensary looking to grab a gram of concentrate and they had some Durban Poison wax and I gave it a smell and was like WOAH!! The smell and taste of Durban is amazing Its very fruity and sweet. This is an amazing strain for anyone that gets sleepy from using cannabis during the day time. If you are thinking about trying this out but are concerned about anxiety or panic attacks I would just go slow and try it out you may be surprised and have your anxiety go away. If my dispensary has this strain in concentrate form i always pick some up.

I have this in a vape. I love it! A very high energy strand, brighter energy. Great for daytime use!

Am I the only one that gets itchy burning eyes?
tried it twice while doing creative work, some help with focus but made me extremely paranoid and self conscious
I've got ADHD and this is great for focus. I can take a few tokes, after that I get overloaded with anxiety and eventually fall asleep. But after four or five drags for several solid hours I feel a euphoric surge, motivation, energy, just overall happiness. I got a lot of studying done and really got into a Netflix doc. At one point I realized I had gotten an ice cream cone and was dipping every bite in a bowl full of sprinkles, haha so beware the munchies. A good sold strain, for sure.
