Durban Poison is a landrace strain from Southern Africa. As a landrace, this pure sativa has developed unique adaptations to its particular environment.
For some reason, one of those adaptations is the increased production of lesser known cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). THCV has about 25% the psychoactivity of THC and is known to cause a rapid and intense psychoactive high.
For a landrace strain, the THC levels of Durban Poison can be quite high. Expect to find Durban buds with upwards of 20% THC. Typically, landraces tend to be less potent than modern hybrids, but that’s not the case with this one. This is one powerful flower.
Durban features a sort of sweet, damp forest aroma. Marijuana connoisseurs will notice the sweet pine scent lingering in the background. It becomes more pronounced when buds are broken up. When combusted, lemon, anise, orange and sweet flavors dominate the palate with a rich, almost creamy smoke that cannabis enthusiasts will enjoy even on the exhale.
Surprisingly, this strain has a very fast flowering time for a sativa. Novice and advanced growers alike appreciate this strain’s abundant trichomes and chunky buds.
As far as medical use goes, Durban Poison is popular among marijuana patients thanks to its range of positive medical effects.
