On Durban Poison by The Healing Canna

I generally do a bit of research on a strain before a review to see the impressions of other people.  (@Wanker, see post on Hawaiian Banana)

Durban Poison as a strain has been highly played with in America.  There are lots of variants, so please note that this particular review is going to be on The Healing Canna's Durban Poison, not on every variant in Colorado much less the world.  :-)

Healing Canna's Durban Poison is marked as a Sativa, and Sativa it is.

My creativity and problem solving are loads higher than normal.  On the poor side, I am having a bit of dizziness, but that seems to pass after the high wears down a bit.  I'm also having some shakiness in my hands, probably related to the cause of the dizziness and I hope that wears off as well.  I didn't have the shakes yesterday when I tried it, but I toked myself a bit higher this morning to get a more concentrated effect.

Just now, I'm having a bit of dry mouth, but its not to the level of a craving for water that some strains bless me with.

My mind is a little ADD on the high, but that seems to wear down as the initial high normalizes.
Good strain to get things done.  I'm having pain relief in my head as well as my body.  Also my muscles feel relaxed, except for my shaking hands. 

My hands are NOT relaxed.  Loads of nervous energy there.  Good for typing maybe, but I'm having more typos.  I'd say go for a first draft on this one and make sure you edit it later.  (This review will be going out without any final edit, as all my reviews do, so if there are any typos, then I suppose it's a good indicator of its effect on my writing.)

So weird, its kinda cool:

On Bubblicious preroll by The Healing Canna, also with some Bubblicious Hash from SoCo MMJ

On Bubblicious (The Healing Canna):

Very nice strain.  Good body buzz.  I can feel some muscle spasms trying to work their way out. 

Had a nice nap, so didn't interfere with my sleep mode.

Bubblicious is supposed to be fairly balanced in effects and this batch was indeed true to form.  Very decent medicinal use stuff.  Cheers!

Did have the space cadet feeling.  Very ADD.  If you have ADD already, you might want to avoid this if it makes you worse.

On Preroll (The Healing Canna):

Allrightythen!  I'm a little biased against prerolls, but I have an adjustable cigarette holder that pretty much holds anything.... except for these prerolls.  I got a few different prerolls and whoever or whatever rolls Healing Canna's prerolls does them more than a bit too small in the width department.  They fall out of my adjustable cigarette holder.  That is kind of bordering on unforgivable. 

Make them just a bit wider please for those of us who find roach clips to be declasse.


On The Healing Canna:

Good atmosphere.  Decent staffed waiting room.  Cheers!

I also liked their back room (aka patient area).  I like that you can see some of their crops through the glass.  Loved the birds staffing the back area.  It had a very South Beach/Miami feel to it.

Products are all displayed well, but the jars are opened for sniffing purposes.  So you get to smoke whatever other people's noses put into it.

Loved the preroll display (which is why I bought some) and pricing, but just understand, these aren't going to fit in a cigarette holder. 

I ended up dumping it into my hookah.  Works fine that way too, just defeats the point of prerolling.


On Bubblicious Hash from SoCo MMJ:

Really magified the Bubblicious aspects of the MJ.  I was more of a space cadet, but the body buzz was geometrically higher.

So Cheers for a decent hash.

I've previously reviewed SoCo MMJ.  Just look for the Labels section to read those.

Hawaiian Banana by Levity Wellness

On Hawaiian Banana:

First, it's a HEAVY indica strain.  Good for what aches you, but watch out for the listlessness that can creep up on your motivation.  Highly medicinal batch here.

I tried it for a few days in a row to really get a grip on it.

First day:  Felt peaceful, relaxed, and had some energy

Third day:  Felt depressed and fatigued, but fairly relaxed.

So here I write, kind of depressed and fatigued.  I'm sure the stress of the Waldo Canyon fire didn't help, but there it is.

I urge caution for people with depressive tendancies or mood disorders to use this strain CAREFULLY.  Use it at most once a week.

Otherwise, the first day, I felt really peaceful and relaxed.  Also I had some good energy going on, so I got some stressful things done on which I had been quite the procrastinator.

Third day, like I indicated, extremely strong fatigue.  It still had the body buzz, but going 3 days without any Sativa seems to not be good for me.  So back on a Sativa I go.

I'm writing this review after two days of being on Sativas and I'm still feeling limited energy, so I guess the strength of this Hawaiian Banana is going to take a few days to get out of my system.

On Levity Wellness:

Still lovely people.  Still lovely and thoughtful decor.

On Waldo Canyon

Don't worry dear readers, I'm working on a review now, but I just had to get this out.

Wow! What a week we've had! Either a careless hiker or an arsonist just had our guts for garters! Cheers to ALL the Firefighters, Volunteers and people who flooded our evacuation centers with Donations!

I am very proud to be a citizen of Colorado Springs, El Paso County, the Fourth Judicial District, the State of Colorado and the USA (aka the Colonies)!  I don't think there's been so much pouring out of goodwill and charity in a community!

I had friends and family affected by the fire and evacuations, so I did what I could to help them. Our patients used me as a network to pair them up with people I needed to find housing for. I'm very proud of my family, friends, and patients for their courage, patience, sweat, and generousity. New friends have been made and our El Paso/Teller/Fremont counties area is a kinder, gentler, more appreciative place because we faced a major catastrophe together.

Over 340 homes were destroyed but we had only TWO (2) casualties. That is PHENOMENAL! The two people who died were hiding out and disobeying the mandatory evacuation for their home. They hid from the authorities who did the house-to-house checks to ensure noone was in the affected area. Just another example that no matter how hard we try, there will always be people who refuse assistance and don't have the sense God gave a badger.

So CHEERS to EVERYBODY except those two hold-outs. My thoughts go out to their families however. I understand their family tried to get them to leave and they wouldn't budge. So I feel very deep sympathy for that famliy. My prayers go with them. So ONE CHEER for our public servants and volunteers and another more somber toast to the family of the two deceased.
