Sour Diesel reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Sour Diesel.
Good strain, but local shop had Platinum Spur Diesel. Took a homemade tincture of about 7.5mg. Pretty relaxing high, and didn’t cause much of a head high. Not much anxiety, felt a little heart burn. Made me pretty sleepy compared to other strains I’ve tried, and not energetic at all, not really couch locked though. Overall good relaxing high meant for nights.
“I got a peaceful, easy feeling.”
I LOVE this strain. It’s great for meditation, journaling, music, art, etc. It fr is like low-key shrooms for me (tho without any cool visual stuff, lol). It heals me and quiets my mind. It makes me love myself. It even opens my third eye if I have enough.
It’s not really a fun/goofy energizing strain for me. Neither is it couch locking/sleepiness inducing. It’s just a simple, peaceful high that makes my day a little better. It helps me quiet my mind and focus. But it can also help me chill and unwind. Overall, it makes me more thoughtful, present, and intentional.
Deff a top fiver for me. You know I’ll be keepin’ this M.F.ing thing on me.
Best night of my life
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.
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.
