Durban Poison

Landrace African sativa (South African pure) · Landrace

Durban Poison is a pure-sativa landrace from South Africa's eastern coast and one of the few original cultivars that still shows up in modern NY dispensary menus unmixed. The high is clean and clear-headed — closer to espresso than to a joint in its arc — with a rush of focus that wears well on daytime creative work, early hikes, or long drives through the valley.

The aroma is unmistakably Durban: sweet anise and pine cut with an earthy funk that carries through to the taste. Terpinolene-forward, which explains the energy. For most consumers Durban Poison is a morning or early-afternoon strain — the ceiling is high but the body feel is light, so evening use can leave you wired past bedtime.
