Sour Diesel reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Sour Diesel.
This that giggly giggly weed. Gives enhanced body sensations and a relaxed mind. Inoffensive scent, just dank enough.
First time I smoked this, I coughed like crazy, but this 2nd go-round was much smoother, except for 2 coughs and some throat grab. The high crept in, and was definitely a head high throughout. Very intense focus, hyper-alertness to sounds, twinges of euphoria, alternating with anxiousness and pure relaxation.

Simply incredible.
Holy shit.
This strain made me figure out I'm autistic. I was a bit socially awkward as a kid -- I wasn't, like, actively bullied for the most part, but I also didn't have many friends. I definitely had some sense that I was different than the people around me on some level. This got better in middle and high school, but by the end of high school, a lot of my life felt fake in a way I couldn't quite describe. I felt like I was putting on a show constantly without really feeling my emotions.
I vaped some Sour Diesel yesterday, and it felt like something loosened itself in my mind. I was feeling things so much more intensely, in a way that wasn't just the effects of the weed. I kept trying to pinpoint what the change was, but I couldn't figure it out because it was just such a hardhanded feeling of being ME. Eventually, it hit me that all of the ways it was externally affecting me were autistic traits. I've since been able to find that place in my mind again. It's like a whole other sense that I've been blocking out in my attempts to seem less awkward and fit in with neurotypical society
Hard to say if this was in any way caused by the strain, but regardless, it was a pretty good high. One of the only strains to not give me anxiety, which I appreciate, and just gives you a very well-rounded, predictable high. I think in small doses, it'd be great for managing anxiety whilst still staying reasonably lucid, and in large doses it's great for fucking you up.
I got this strain as a live resin cartridge and as an almost exclusively indicia smoker i wasn’t really excited to try it.. However this strain is extremely powerful at giving you motivation and energy and just boosting your mood. If you suffer from depression/anxiety/lack of motivation to get out.. This is an amazing medicinal strain. It’s not a strain that gets you blasted it’s a really good strain for going outside or even doing stuff indoors, homework, work, cleaning etc.. I found smoking on this while doing the thing you don’t want to do makes it a lot more enjoyable. I don’t smoke it and instantly want to do everything though but nothing will do that. I find out hard to get outside but while smoking this i can walk my dog for up to 3 hours daily now. Whereas without it 30min in the usual. It can cause your heart to race so beware of that.
TLDR: Good medical strain for depression/anxiety but not a good strain for recreational use and getting blasted.
Before school, I would get up at 5am and leave for a 7am walk through a nature park to get to my high school, and for a long time, this was the only strain I had, and I would have a small joint (about 0.2 g, no tobacco, it ruins everything, and increases health risk), I'd get to school (my form class was the music room), and work on my composition work with the DAW the school had access to. Along with going out for regular hikes, so I have had lots of active and focused experience.
The smell is of diesel, not exactly my favourite smell at all, so that's where I personally disagreed with the strain, but that is subjective, and it shan't go into the review as something bad. The taste is earthy and unlike the smell, I found it fairly typical for taste, nothing special, not unpleasant, but not overly nice (Super Lemon Haze, Forbidden Fruits, OG Kush are stand outs for smell and taste, Purple Kush as well).
The effects are very similar to caffeine, but still, being cannabis, it is definitely not. It is typically relaxing and cannabis-like, but it differs in focus, with my ADHD, I can find it hard to get into any zone, this strain definitely made that easier, and along with the energetic boost (unnecessary for me but oh well), it can be great for both focused work and activity (do not lift heavy weights with this though, cannabis is still cannabis and impairs motor function temporarily, do not lunge with a barbell or squat with a barbell, it is extremely reckless to do so while high, no matter your tolerance, just don't get high when you plan to do heavy resistance training), such as hiking (especially nature hiking).
It can also be great for hiking with friends, as it is euphoric and uplifting as well, however, it is also brilliant for a Spring daytime walk by yourself, get yourself in a secluded spot in a forest/woodland and play some music (don't disturb wildlife and don't throw your joint ends on the ground, I don't care if they're compostable, it is a fire hazard, it is annoying when I see it on my land and very deadly if one was to start a fire), and relax yourself a little, then once finished, drink some water, and hike to your heart's content.
It tends to mellow out as you get past the first few hours, but you will still feel relaxed and somewhat focused. The high lasts for many hours and the effects after last for many more. It can also be great in the early evening for an evening walk, as it mellows out after two hours, perfect for brushing teeth, reading and sleeping.
If you're a daily smoker, this is good for maintaining something resembling a sober life whilst being high, if like me you're occasional, then if you can get some of this, it'll be an interesting walk.
In summary, a strain great for being active and maintaining focus on something, main high lasts for some hours, the many hours after will be more mellow yet still have an impact on you, great for Spring daytime nature hiking.
One of the best sativas. Energy and euphoria without paranoia. Really gets me going in the morning. Good with a coffee.
One of my top favorites and very hard to find
