General Product Info

I got Daganda Herbal Smoking Blend and it looked like the picture on the site. The actual smoking blend itself, however, smelled awful and felt a little stale. I guess its really old stock and maybe they aren’t going to restock, or it was just so unpopular that they haven’t had to in years. I’ve had fresh Wild Dagga and unfortunately, this was not very fresh. I have used I Am Shaman for a few things before though and had good things to say…so it is definitely product-specific. This is supposed to be a seep-proof package, but it seems at some point in the past (when it was still an oil-rich substance) it leaked out of the package. The same product is also available at SweetSmokeHerbs.com. This is a non-tobacco, non-nicotine product. It is relying 100 percent on Wild Dagga…which is actually supposed to be like a light marijuana.

Product Administration

For my first trial, I used this smokeable blend in a hookah. For my second trial, I rolled it into a joint form (very difficult actually, despite being Wild Dagga, which I have rolled into a joint before). It was by far easier to use the hookah. Still, both methods were successful in delivering the necessary smoke to adequately judge the blend and its effects. I used 6 grams in my hookah session (notorious for using more); And I used about half a gram in a mega-sized joint. Honestly, it was difficult to work with, unlike other Wild Dagga. I don’t know if it was because it was old or what.

Product Effects

Daganda did not do anything for me. The smoke was really thick, stale tasting and left an ashy taste in my mouth. Even when it was water filtered, it was horrible. Normally Wild Dagga hits me rather quick, just like weed, but it seemed like I would smoke and smoke Daganda and have absolutely no effects or change to my mood or anything whatsoever. There was no high from this product. It may be legal, but it is definitely not a high. I did get a headache after continual use for an hour (both administration methods, hookah and joint).

Final Thoughts

Wild Dagga is supposed to feel like marijuana and I have tried really effective Wild Dagga before, and also weed…so I can judge a good Wild Dagga product with ease. Thus, this one, Daganda, was kind of bad. I wanted to like it, as I thought this was a great price on a Wild Dagga I could use with my hookah…but ultimately I was disappointed. The smoke was too thick, the product tasted too bad, and the high was weak (mostly non-existent altogether). I cannot recommend with any confidence Daganda to anyone unfortunately, sorry guys!

General Product Info

I have used some Shaman’s Gardens products before and been satisfied, so I figured I would give their Wild Dagga a shot and ordered HN Wild Dagga. I have to say, this product showed up feeling kind of like a condom. The foil package looked like a condom wrapper, and it sort of felt like holding one in the package. The actual extract though smelled decent in quality and looked somewhat fresh to me. I am no stranger to Wild Dagga and have tried it many times before. I didn’t like that I couldn’t reseal the package, but at the same time, I typically do the stuff all in one sitting, even if that sitting is several hours, so it wasn’t a big deal.

I do like Shaman’s Garden for many other things, so I want it to be clear that the quality of this product should not be used to judge the entire store. I especially have liked their dreaming herbs and some of their tincture blends. I can also say it showed up pretty quick and was professionally shipped which is always nice. No one wants to receive something that looks like it was shipped by some dude in his basement.

Product Administration

As previously mentioned, I have long known about, tried and understood how to take Wild Dagga extract, so I am no novice. Also as previously mentioned, I used the entire extract within one sitting. Each package contains 3 grams. It’s not that much if you are using it over the course of 3-4 hours. Typically Wild Dagga is smoked, and that is how I took the extract. I should note that I had never before tried a 50x extract, only 20x or less.

I have never tried consuming Wild Dagga or Wild Dagga extract orally, however, I heard once that was possible. I did find a few sources claiming that it was effective consumed orally, only that there would be a lot of leaves required to achieve any effects. I am sure consuming the extract would probably work, but it is also probably far nastier than smoking it. All around, it’s kind of a hard plant to take. There are tea recipes, which can turn it into a sort of sludge-like shot, but it just started sounding so gross, I felt just throwing it in a fresh bowl and giving it a good old puff would be best. After all, being an extract, I figured it would be much stronger and require much less to feel the effects.

Product Effects

The HN Wild Dagga 50x Extract sold at Shaman’s Garden was significantly stronger than other extracts I have tried in the past. Normally, Wild Dagga is a pseudo-marijuana substitute, and it’s somewhat effective. By somewhat I mean, partially…unless you have really premium stuff (just like weed, the quality matters a lot). The cloud was thick and smoke hurt really bad though, the pain was pretty severe in my throat, thus, I feel the extraction may have made it harsher, as normal herbage isn’t that bad. Probably similar to how dabs with weed are way more harsh than normal ground bud.

It did feel good though, a mild relaxation and almost a focus-like trance that developed. The buzz I felt was definitely comparable to a light marijuana-like effect. Although I honestly prefer some of the Blue Lotus products out there, rather than the wild dagga, I do understand why many people use Wild Dagga as a marijuana substitute, especially when they are in between dealers or in a tight spot and cannot get any actual weed. Still, I watched the entire matrix trilogy on HN Wild Dagga 50x and was pleasantly into the movies more than ever before…and I’ve seen them a lot so that’s really saying something. I would say each bowl hit lasted about 10-20 minutes…so it wasn’t as good as weed exactly. But it was something that kind of made the movie’s fight scenes far more interesting. I suppose I could say it improved art appreciation. The only real side effects were a slight headache towards the end of the night and a soar throat from the coughing. I’m sure my lungs are not so happy either.

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, I was not super impressed with the packaging and quality of the product, but I also wasn’t super disappointed either. That pretty much goes for the actual effects too, as it is probably something I could see myself using again in the future, but would probably only do it from time to time as there are many better legal highs out there. Also, I would probably vape it if I did it again, although I think it may reduce the effects I’d feel from the extract.
