About this release
Durban Poison is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from the port city of Durban in South Africa. It is one of the few widely available strains that retains a genuine landrace genetic profile, making it a reference point for sativa characteristics in the cannabis world. This feminized version is available through Seed Supreme. Genetics & Background
Durban Poison is a pure sativa landrace from South Africa. It was brought to the West in the late 1970s by cannabis activist Ed Rosenthal, who collected seeds directly in Durban. The strain has since been used extensively as a parent in commercial breeding programs — most notably as one half of Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). Effects

Energetic — strong physical and mental activation
Creative — associated with focused, productive mental states
Uplifted — mood elevation without heavy sedation
THC typically ranges from 15–20%. The high is notably functional — often described as suitable for daytime activity. Flavor & Aroma
