Durban Haze
Overview
Durban Haze is a menacingly-named sativa strain, made from the powerful strains Durban Poison and Haze. It is a pure sativa strain which gives an insanely relaxing and uplifting head high, with an average THC content of 21%. Some samples have a reported THC content of 24%, which makes the strain very potent.
The strain is known to induce relaxation in its patients after just a few doses. It is very potent in the treatment of conditions like nausea and migraines and can be used to combat stress in its users. The strain is also known for its strong intensity but short duration of effects, with peak effects achieved in 15-30 minutes after dosing. Patients describe doses of the Durban Haze hitting them with an insanely fast onset of euphoric psychoactive head high with bursts of energy. Some users report a head-rush and a feeling of pressure on the chest after a few doses, while some experience fits of uncontrollable giggles and a voracious appetite once the effect begins to wear off. It also allows the patient to have high levels of creative freedom and focus, without causing burnout in users.
Some users prefer the strain because it helps them plow through boring activities without any physical weigh-downs. And because of its social and euphoric effects, users prefer the strain when going out as it allows interaction and chattiness. The focus also helps people dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder focus on individual tasks and finish up before moving on to the next task.
The exact origins of the strain are unknown, but it is very popular in Georgia around the Decatur and Valdosta area. The strains can be grown indoors or outdoors, needing a hot and semi-humid climate when grown outdoors. Durban Haze is known for its flowers with an elongated, tapered shape, leaves with a pale green color, twisted through with dark orange and yellow pistils. The flowers are usually covered in trichomes, making them sticky when touched.
Durban Haze is a 100% sativa strain made from crossbreeding two pure sativa strains, the Durban Poison and Haze.
