Just one brownie and you will be set. The potency is just so that when bakes into cookies and brownies a small piece is enough. For the high tolerant folks like me this will be like walking into warm cannabis hugs only that they get you pumped and ready for the day.

Not for the faint heart. This shit is quite potent. It is very tasty and is so far one of the best hybrids I have come across. Very cerebral and a good cure for headaches. Durban poison makes me functional after a long tiresome day. It however gives me a hell of cotton mouth, but I managed it by staying hydrated.
