If you haven’t heard of it yet, Durban Poison is one of the most popular Sativa strains to come out of Africa and one of the most popular Sativas overall. This strain has been around for a very long time, and there are now dozens of strains that feature Durban Poison as a parent.
Today, we want to take a look at some of the most popular cannabis strains made by crossing Durban Poison with other popular strains. Durban Poison itself is known for being potent with high THC levels, having very strong flavors, and producing an intense cerebral high. So, any mix of Durban Poison is going to be quite interesting, no doubt.
Durban Strain Lineage
Durban or Durban Poison is its own parent, or at least it has been for a very long time. In other words, this is an African landrace strain, which means that it is a strain that has grown naturally in Africa for hundreds or even thousands of years without being changed in any way.
It is assumed that it originates from a single-parent strain somewhere on the South Coast of Africa and that it has been around for many centuries.
Is Durban The Same As Durban Poison
Yes, Durban and Durban Poison both appear to be the same thing, a Sativa strain that originates in the South African Port city of Durban. If you were to ask what strain is Durban poison? The answer is that it is its own strain, a pure African landrace Sativa.
As for the Durban Poison strain taste, it generally has a very dank-like aroma combined with notes of sweet licorice, pine, vanilla, cream, and general sweetness and spiciness. On a side note, if you like pine, check out the super piney Delta-8 Godfather OG Pre-Rolls right here on Botany Farms.
