Durban Poison reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Durban Poison.
I love Culta's version of Durban Poison! Great day time smoke. Euphoric and giggly for me!
Being a Gen X'er , I've had this strain for many years, however during the past decade or so I haven't been able to fully enjoy Sativas and have been strictly sticking with Potent Indicas. Well , That was then and as those of us(of a certain age group) realize. Our bodies, tastes and chemistry changes. Now , All i crave again are Pure Sativas , even for sleep(they really help my insomnia, again body chemistry changes 🤷♂️) I am so glad that I can again Enjoy & truly and the Amazing effects of this strain. There's a Reason why this strain is Used to create new Hybrids, Its A classic and dependable and Guaranteed Good Time
I was having an anxious and depressed morning. I was trying very hard to manage it over many hours. A bit after noon I finally decided to see if some cannabis would help me and packed my vape with Durban Poison.
It helped a lot. The negative and anxious thoughts started quieting down, I was feeling more emotionally relaxed and started to feel a little lift. I managed to make myself go outside for a walk and enjoy some early peeks of spring. I made and ate a lunch.
It's around 3pm now and I'm still occasionally puffing on the vape and I've been feeling kinda okay now. Not great, not euphoric, but improved. I'm mostly writing this review so I can refer to it when trying to remember strains that have helped me. But if someone is looking for something to help you feel a little more normal when you feel like you're spiraling, this might work for you.
Honestly was expecting more. I was super excited to try Durban Poison due to its known energizing and appetite suppressing effects. However, I actually noticed a slight increase in my appetite. Productivity is listed as an effect, but the strong forgetfulness overpowered it. The positives of this strain were the body high and happiness, as well as the citrusy taste.
Made me very high. Very dry mouth, very giggly.
On another site I read that this strain was excellent for weight loss and ADHD -- I've heard incredible things about it from friends in addition to glowing reviews on Leafly. So I picked up a half and an eighth from a local shop. While it didn't give me the munchies, it didn't really change my eating habits like some other weight loss friendly strains. And while it didn't really give me any energy, it did help me stay focused during the work day -- so some definite potential here for ADHD. The flower did however make my situational anxiety exponentially worse.
Overall it tasted lovely, but I was disappointed given the hype, and likely wouldn't buy again.
This is actually a review for a strain called, "Durban Zkittlez" (produced by Rythm). It is a cross between Zkittles and Durban Poison, and is strongly sativa dominant. I could not locate a strain on the Leafly data base with that name, though. Since it feels like a very strong sativa, I think it is better suited to a review here, than under "Zkittlez".
In any case, the 3.54g that I purchased from a dispensary in southwest Illinois, a few weeks ago, tests at 31.62% total THC content. It is far and above the most potent flower I vaped in the last year (I only just started consuming cannabis products in spring of) 2021. The flower seemed very well cured and definitely not dry or damp. The jar i received wasn't listed as "popcorn", but that is how I would describe about 80% of the flower I received. Mostly popcorn with one or two fingernail sized cones. Despite the small size (which honestly isn't a problem for me, as long as they arrive somewhat fresh), I was impressed with Rythm's freshness and their superb packaging.
Smells and tastes of cannabis are generally lost on me. I can discern generally citrus or earth-flavored cannabis, but beyond that, it's just about all the same to me. Not sure if it's the weed's fault or mine, but I don't lose sleep over it.
Anyway...(I'm pretty high right now)...Durban Zkittlez ("DZ") is great. I vaped a small nug or two in a S&B Mighty about 30 minutes ago. Started to feel it hit about 5-10 minutes after taking 3 deep, long draws, and a few short puffs. I was hit pretty hard about 10 minutes ago and that's where i am now. Pressure built behind the eyes, upper sinus region and gradually spread up into cranium. A very pleasant, heavy feeling. Then body tingles accompanied by a clearing of the mind. Seriously, they should call this "Magic Eraser" instead, because it just clears all the B.S. from my mind. My family is fine, I am alive, and I am without free from need or want in this moment. Everything else just fades into the background. The heady / cranial pressure sensation shifts to one of up-lift and weightlessness. I don't feel compelled to move, but I'm ready to go anyway!
This is the strongest sativa I tried so far. The next highest THC% that I ever tried was 25-26%, so this is a big step for me. My teeth feel tingly. It may have something to do with the gummy worms and other candy that I can't seem to stop eating. This strain makes me want to chew. And vacuum. And dust. And practice my Spanish. Write my presidential inauguration speech. Finally paint that self-portrait. Nah, none of those things...I'm just gonna eat 2 pounds of candy and then annoy the heck out of my wife, lol!
Look: big round buds, loads of trichomes, sticky light green and orange
Taste: very piney, evergreen, earthy
Effect: clean sharp, energetic, alert head high. Excites the body and mind. No strong munchies
