Durban Poison

Omg I have found the holy Grail of strains for my ocd and anxiety. Durban Poison has completely changed my life. I have chronic ocd, anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. I was terrified to try Durban Poison because of my anxiety because most high energy sativas cause me anxiety to get worse but I need the energy to make me get up to do anything. This makes finding strains that help get my body going without worsening my mental state am absolute nightmare but I didn't give up. Until now Jack Herer had been my go to strain, which is great, but not enough energy for me. I noticed the terp profile of dp to be very similar to Jack, as well as the smell, and decided to try it. I'm blown away. It gives me an instant change in my mental state almost as soon as I take a hit. I go from down and depressed to happy and uplifted. Then after about a half a gram I'm a totally different person. It not only makes me be able to get up and going, but makes me want to. Almost have to at times. I actually don't mind talking to people, going out, or just go for a walk, play with my dog, or just hang out with my wife. Durban Poison has changed my life so much for the better and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm not saying it will work for everyone but it sure does for me. I'm so glad it didn't let my fear of anxiety and my o.c.d. keep me from finding this wonderful medicine because that's what it is. It's helped me more than any pill or psychiatrist has in the 46 years I've been on this Earth. Now I've found a retailer that I can afford to get a qp at a time from and every month if needed. Most months I don't smoke that much but I do smoke at least 3 of the 4 oz each month. It's that good and I'm that messed up that I need that much. But I highly recommend getting this landrace strain. There's a reason why it was brought here in the 1970's and is still grown, unchanged, until this day and is insanely popular. It the perfect plant.

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!

This stuff rocks! I'm generally a sensitive weed smoker and while I don't really get panic attacks from it anymore (can get paranoia or anxiety) I will get other uncomfortable symptoms like chills, twitching, excessive incoordination/loopiness and sleepiness, dizziness, etc well before that. I feel like I can smoke this stuff all day and that's with an infused joint (43.7% THC! Infused with liquid diamonds). It's worth mentioning though that because I used an infused joint the experience isn't necessarily representative of smoking plain weed so take that into consideration in reading this review. Before smoking, a lime, pine/mint, woody smell hit me hard. While the high is still a high, there is relatively speaking barely any stone. Nonetheless, it is a euphoric, happy, and energizing high. I wouldn't say it's as euphoric as strawberry cough for example, but it's got the same energy boost and ability to amp up how much you enjoy activities and it's also much more clear headed. It's like a super powered caffeine, but the stimulation this strain provides is very clean and free of edginess. It also comes with some giggles, a big ole grin, a slight creativity boost, n VERY slight munchies. With my anxiety, I can't tolerate coffee because my mind is constantly stuck in that kind of state of edginess and caffeine only amplifies it to an extreme. At the same time, as a consequence of how constant my anxiety is, I'm a fatigued exhausted mess. This strain manages to lift me straight out of that horrible funk when the only other measure that could accomplish that is benzodiazepines, but cannabis in general doesn't cause most of the issues they do. This strain is a favorite for me, up there with strawberry cough, green crack and Runtz and I've tested a lot of stuff lol. For me, this strain is perfectly built for daytime toking. Def not a night time strain. The one thing this stuff won't help me with is insomnia. Also when I smoked enough, the high acquired a mild psychedelic edge to it without those other unpleasant side effects from THC overdose I mentioned above. Tl;dr: Very happy, euphoric, energizing, and focus enhancing strain. Wonderful pine, lime, sawdust smell. Fairly mild stone given THC levels but can get trippier at high doses. A+, dis bud gud🤤
