Strain Review : Durban Poison 


Type: Sativa 


 
THC Level: Medium


Good For: Creativity, Relief from Anxiety, Stress, Pain, Nausea, & some 
symptoms of Depression.

Durban Poison has been showing up on the local scene quite recently, a 
lower priced Sativa that has taken its place among my own top shelf 
favorites. This is an older strain, originally hailing from Durban, the 
largest city in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal. I first 
heard about it in the 1990s in a British marijuana culture magazine, so 
when I first saw it on the boards about a month ago, I had to try it.

The spongy, light green buds are covered in tiny white hairs, (or 
trichomes), with orange pistils and have a light, citrus bouquet with 
hints of mint. The flavor is much the same; not too complex or heavy, 
very reminiscent of lemon grass or some inedible varieties of sage. 
Durban Poison almost looks like "stress" because it is not as dense as 
other strains, (without the seeds, of course). This also causes it to 
clump up in a grinder, inevitably leading to joints that keeps going 
out. My advice? Go bowling.

Durban Poison offers a very clean, cerebral sensation; Anxiety & stress 
part like clouds and your mind feels clearer. I'm not saying it will 
boost your creativity, but it can definitely help people with roadblocks 
standing in the way of their creativity. It is for this very reason that 
this strain is ideal for treating some of the symptoms of depression 
like fatigue, loss of appetite, lethargy and attention deficit.

It just goes to show that you cannot judge a strain by its THC content. 
Durban Poison has all the elements of a a great Sativa; a refreshing 
head-high that sustains positivity and doesn't put you to sleep.  If 
you're looking for something to help "even you out", you should give it 
a try.
