Sativa
Durban Poison
South African landrace

About Durban Poison
Durban Poison is a legendary, pure landrace Sativa originating from the port city of Durban, South Africa, and stabilized in the Netherlands during the 1970s. Famous for its unique, terpinolene-dominant anise and licorice terpene profile, it stands out in a modern market dominated by candy and gas. The high is incredibly clear-headed, energetic, and highly motivating — often referred to as the absolute "espresso of cannabis." It is the ultimate daytime strain for active tourists looking to explore the city, cycle, or write. Durban Poison is a beloved classic, available at traditional Amsterdam coffeeshops like Dampkring at price expectations of €10 to €14 per gram.
