Cresco Durban Poison Preroll 1g

Cresco is based in Chicago, Illinois, and produces a wide variety of medical cannabis products, including quality flower, vapes, and edibles in partnership with other companies. Durban Poison is a popular pure Sativa cannabis strain. It is known for its uplifting, energetic effects and is described as having a coffee-like effect consisting of a burst of clean energy.

Appearance 5/5
Cresco’s Durban Poison Pre-Roll arrives in a slim cardboard package. Like other Sativa products in Cresco’s line, Durban Poison comes in a bright red box. Inside, the joint is contained in a slim plastic vial that features a stopper that keeps some of the product’s scent from escaping. The joint has been tightly rolled, and no product has made its way out of the joint. Overall, it’s a clean and attractive product.

Aroma 5/5
Even before I opened the stopper of the vial, I smelled an incredibly strong aroma from this joint. I got a super strong scent of spice and earth. I really enjoyed the bold and unique aroma present in this strain. After fully taking in the pungent smells, I was very excited to experience the flavors and the effects this strain could provide.

Taste 4/5
As I took a few hits, I appreciated the smoothness of this strain. The taste was dominated by a licorice flavor, with a slight hint of other spices, and pungent earthy notes. After experiencing the rich smell of this product, I was expecting a little more from the taste. The flavor was slightly less rich and more spicy than I hoped for. The aroma was stronger than the actual taste.

Effect 4/5
I took a few hits and felt the great effects of this product within about a minute. I continued taking hits, and felt a burst of energy, as well as elation. I felt a burst of creative energy, too, but I felt a little too hyperactive to be able to properly focus. I appreciated the fact that this pre-roll had a pretty even burn, as I was able to enjoy it slowly. 

The overall feeling I experienced from this product was pleasant, but it wasn’t as strong as I would have expected from smoking most of the joint. It was also a short-lived high, as I felt the effects wearing off about an hour after my last hit.

Product price: $20 for 1g; $25 including tax

I would highly recommend this to experienced cannabis users, and possibly to new cannabis users, as well. This strain would be ideal for wake and bake sessions to boost energy at the start of a new day. I feel that this product would be excellent for users suffering from depression, mood disorders, or users who just need a burst of energy or creativity. I would probably not recommend this product for a user looking for relief from anxiety – the energy and lack of focus could be slightly too intense.

I had a great time getting to try this strain. When I went to the dispensary, I didn’t know what to expect with all the recent upset to everyday life. I was impressed to see how Sunnyside has adapted to rapidly changing circumstances, as they kept maintaining their commitment to providing quality medicinal cannabis to medical patients and rec users, alike. Cresco’s Durban Poison is a great strain, wonderful in flavor and effect, and I would definitely purchase this product again whenever it becomes available.

Sunnyside is located in Elmwood Park, and is conveniently close to the River Grove and Elmwood Park Metra stops. This visit was my first time going to the dispensary since the start of the COVID-19 epidemic, so I was curious to see how the dispensary would respond to changing requirements.

I was so impressed by the proactive measures taken by this dispensary. All employees wore gloves, and enforced social distancing protocol. I preordered online, and I was notified when my order was ready for pickup. This really reduced the time I had to spend in the dispensary, which I appreciated.
