Sativa Strain Sativa

THC: 24%, CBD: 1%, CBN: 1%

Expect a major blow to the head from this super-potent strain. A pure sativa, Durban Poison is the beloved inbred descendant of a sativa strain grown in South Africa. Ed Rosenthal, an American cannabis activist, discovered the original strain and brought in back to the United States in the 1970s. It has long been a favorite of stoners and medical marijuana patients here. Durban Poison has THC levels that can reach 24%, making it one of the world's more powerful strains. This strain hits with a strong, happy head high that's great for creativity and daytime errands. Paranoia may be a possible side effect, along with dry mouth. Durban Poison is an effective treatment for depression and anxiety, as well as chronic pain, and it can also be helpful with nausea. This strain is ideal for making concentrates, as the bud is covered in over-sized trichomes. The dominant smell and taste of Durban Poison is earthy and sweet, with a subtle pine aroma. The buds are round and chunky, with a dense coating of trichomes. This strain is best for active periods, chores, and other daylight activities.

Durban Poison has proven time and again to be the Ritalin of weed for me. I can sit and work, be focused for longer, and feel motivated. A happy energy has me swinging my leg as I dive into my work. Add earplugs and you're in a world of your own. Be wary of smoking too much at once, as over-doing it can lead to paranoia and repetitive thinking.

Durban Poison, from the reviews on here it makes me wonder if anyone on her has ever smoked any real Durban Poison. I’ve been growing the actual inbred land race of this strain for 35 years. From the pictures I’ve seen on here only one looks like pure Durban Poison. I love this strain it is a very uplifting daytime herb. It has citrusy, pine taste with an earth pepper exhale. The plants can get huge!

Durban Poison tastes like vinegar. It is hard and tart, with noticeable apple, pine and mint overtones. It is to weed what hard liquor is to alcohol. The dizziness experienced from its soaring high can help to shut down an overactive brain that causes sleep loss. The high isn't the most enjoyable experience, but the strain should be respected for being quite unique.

Great wake and bake strain, keeps you looking to get stuff done. Taste and effects are great, with a pretty smooth exhale. You can feel it hit from the from first pull. Has a nice let down, does not drag you out at the end, your just ready for another fill up and session. Highly recommend to get when available.

Amazing strain! Not a good strain for lounging around. You will want to be on the move with this one. The bud has a very warm, almost cigar and mahogany fragrance to it. A bit peppery and fruity. The high is not overly heady. 10/10 Go outside with this one!

There's a reason this strain has the most reviews on the site...don't be fooled by low thc numbers. Ipy, 17 percent Durban will surprise you. If you can find it higher, even better. Don't expect distillate to feel like the flower or the live or cured resin/rosin extracts. You can't replicate the profile by adding terps back in. Stick with flower or full spectrum. Most unique strain ever.

I liked it. The pine taste and nice long lasting buzz. Gave me some energy and at night I will take 2, 50mg indica gummies to offset the saliva flower. Over all I liked it very much.

Smoked after my bus boy work. Made me so paranoid as sativas do that me and my friend thought people were following us and went over to more friends house and got more paranoid. Stay away from unless you can handle being paranoid.
