Sweet tasting and very uplifting. Leaves you clear-headed and very motivated. Really takes the edge off lower back pain.
I love the high this gives me, it lasts long and feels good
One of my favorite sativas, great taste, great energetic buzz and absolutely perfect for day time!
I love smoking this in the morning and have witnessed that it takes a while to take affect but I love the way it makes me feel. Makes me bright-eyed, feeling speedy and will definitely keep this in my arsenal for my morning weed choice.
This is the first bud I smoked in over 15 years. So basically, my tolerance was nothing. But I used to smoke a LOT so I was familiar with what I should expect. I bought this at a respectable shop... and I gotta say that the commercially developed product with budmasters who know what they are doing make a stunning difference. This stuff is way stronger than most of the bud from the old black market days where you really didn't know what you were getting... usually grown sloppy whatever bag seed in a basement somewhere or trucked over the border from a desert hillside. OK... so the Durban Poison was recommended as a quality sativa which I wanted because I like to stay active, and like the head trip since I'm a cerebral type. I don't like the couch lock feeling. I was cautious since it has been a long time since I smoked... so I took a smallish piece of bud and put it my new pipe. I took a few hesitant light hits, followed by 2 thick, strong ones and a final lighter but good one to finish off the bud. Within minutes I was quite high and giggling to myself thinking "oh yeah, I remember this." But it kept roaring on and soon I was having a full-on mind flush... I mean... God and Satan both tumbled out of the rainbow, stretching the fabric of time-space as they were launching poetry bombs that would effervesce through me in turn. The psycho-active effect in this batch was sizzling. I didn't trip visually but the head-gymnastics took me for a serious ride. Yeah, I over-did it and it was actually quite stressful because I wasn't prepared. I should have take ONE hit and see how it went. But it was fun and I came down gentle over the next 4 to 6 hours (which was nice) and landed on my feet without crashing which was great. I don't think I want to get that high again for awhile unless its a special occasion and I don't have anything to do, but since then, I have taken one or two hits here and there and felt a nice spacey high that was creative, trippy and let me stay engaged in my day. My re-introduction experience makes me want to indulge only occasionally so to keep my tolerance down. That was amazing.
Despite my initial shock, I found Durban Poison to be a great mental trip with lots of energy without immobilizing you and practically no negative effects except maybe a little dizziness. I found that as I was focused working on something, the high would seem to lift. But as I relaxed, it would return. Strong quality kava-kava root had a similar effect on me.

*Update*
Liking DP even more after having gone through more of it. The first couple times I smoked DP I got paranoid, hence the previous negative reviews.
However, I've found after a few times the paranoia goes away and in its place now is this clear-minded focused energy without feeling stoned dumb at all. This is some highly functional shyte if you can get through the initial paranoia.
Durban Poison actually works for me! Most strains do nothing for me. But with Durban Poison I get an intense, but short-lasting, head high. Followed by a couple hours of feeling silly and talkative. And it wipes away my depression and body pain immediately! It's also a pretty serious appetite suppressant. I don't really feel hungry on it, and if I eat junk food like cheeseburgers or pizza, even hours after vaping, I get nauseous.
Good morning strain to get the day going. Makes me feel alert and focused. I do not get spacey with this strain so I like it when I'm at work. Get some yo!
