Durban Poison

Sativa

THC 19% | CBD 0%

4.4 (1)

This pure sativa originates from the South African port city of Durban and has earned a global reputation for its sweet, earthy aroma with hints of pine and citrus. Renowned for its energetic and uplifting effects, Durban Poison is the perfect strain to help you stay productive through a busy day, embark on outdoor adventures, or spark creativity during artistic pursuits.


Its flavor profile is equally captivating, combining notes of anise, spice, and creamy vanilla with a subtle licorice finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. This makes it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking a smooth and flavorful smoke.


Durban Poisons effects are characterized by a clear-headed euphoria that enhances focus and sociability without the overwhelming cerebral intensity some sativas can bring. It is an excellent choice for managing stress, fatigue, and depression without sedation, allowing users to stay alert and active.


Growers and concentrate enthusiasts alike will appreciate the strains over-sized resin glands, which are ideal for concentrate extraction and yield abundant trichomes that glisten across its round, chunky buds. With a relatively short flowering period of 8 to 9 weeks, Durban Poison is a resilient cultivar that thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, particularly in warm, sunny climates.

Terpene profile

The most abundant terpene in Durban Poison is Terpinolene, followed by Myrcene and Ocimene.

Terpinolene

(Floral, sweet, herbal, with notes of citrus and pine)

  • Studied for antioxidant properties
  • Studied for antibacterial effects
  • Studied for antifungal effects
  • Studied for sedative potential
  • Associated with calming and creative cannabis profiles
  • Studied for insect‑repelling activity

Terpinolene stands out for its ability to promote both mental clarity and calm, depending on the strain it’s found in. Though less prevalent than other terpenes, it contributes to a well-rounded experience. Its antioxidant and mild sedative properties make it popular in sativa-leaning hybrids known for mood balance and subtle energy.

Myrcene

(Earthy, musky, herbal, with hints of cloves and fruit)

Myrcene is thought to increase cell membrane permeability, potentially allowing cannabinoids like THC to take effect more quickly. It’s often associated with deeply relaxing and sedative effects, making it popular in strains intended for evening or therapeutic use.

Ocimene

(Sweet, herbal, citrusy, with subtle woody hints)

Ocimene is believed to support respiratory health due to its decongestant and antifungal properties. It’s commonly found in sativa-leaning or hybrid strains associated with daytime use, thanks to its uplifting aroma and energizing potential. While not sedative, it pairs well with other terpenes to round out balanced, mood-enhancing effects.
