Durban Poison’s name points out its potency. This marijuana strain imported from South Africa has a high THC level of between 15-25%. Durban Poison is a pure Sativa Strain brought to the United States in 1970 by the famous cannabis activist Ed Rosenthal. Since its introduction in the US, it has been crossed by others for stability and other reasons. Its use has also spread far and wide, making it a famous marijuana strain among recreational and medicinal users.
The buds of Durban Poison are covered with dense and oversized tapered trichomes, making it an ideal weed for making concentrates. The forest green leaves are flecked with bright orange pistils, ready to receive pollen grains from the nearby male plant. The flowers are covered by a layer of milky-white trichomes, which gives the cured bud a sticky texture when cured.
Durban Poison can adapt to different growth conditions. This makes it the best option for inexperienced growers who are new to marijuana cultivation. The plant can grow up to a height of 12 feet in warm and semi-humid climates, with temperatures ranging from 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit. When grown indoors, growers should control their height by bending or pruning the branches as appropriate. This strain grows incredibly quickly, maturing in about 8-9 weeks.
Durban Poison high starts with a heavy punch on the head that sparkles creativity for running your daily activities. The name might give an impression of a toxic weed strain, but that is not the case. Instead, you can expect uplifting, energizing, and relaxing effects that will leave you conscious to handle your tasks. Durban Poison has great flavor profiles ranging from candy to spicy lemon.
This strain is famous among dispensary patients and connoisseurs. You can take it to fight depression, stress, anxiety, appetite loss, nausea, and pain.

I have never been disappointed with the feeling I get from this strain. It is my favorite to stay focused and more creative after taking just a few puffs.
I have smoked Durban Poison since 1984, when a dear friend of mine had his older brother give us some bud…. He didn’t like it and called it ‘pigshit’ weed! I soon learned it was D.P. and have never looked back! I am a HUGE sativa person and it doesn’t get more sativa than this. I’ve had it as flower, budder, shatter, wax, etc. If you are ready for a full on bangin’ night with friends or wanna catch up on your scrapbooking?!?! this is the strain to do it! Love it!
Best weed i done ever smoked hands down‼️It definitely gives u the giggles 🤭 and it smells and tastes even better
