This chunky subtropical Sativa, named after the South African port city of Durban, dominates the local cannabis scene with its high yield and uniform flowering. It's the most recognized African strain globally, thanks to Durban being Africa's busiest port, facilitating worldwide distribution. Durban Poison, as it's known for achieving its full potential, offers a unique, powerful Sativa experience with a mind-blowing high that's distinct from other Sativas. It's robust, heavy-branching, and can thrive in various climates, producing sticky buds with a lemon-aniseed flavor. Despite its potency, it's non-toxic, with effects that can range from uplifting to dreamy at higher doses.
In its native region, Durban maintains a stellar reputation among growers for reliability and outstanding results. Its widespread popularity stems from both its distinctive high and its ability to flourish outside tropical zones, thanks to acclimatisation efforts. Sensi's version, accommodating to temperate climates, retains the pure Sativa lineage, differentiating it from equatorial Sativas with its resilience and productive capability even in less-than-ideal conditions.
Known for its non-toxic but potent effects, Durban Poison is characterized by an immediate and intense high. It's described as a 'narcotic Sativa' for its powerful, unique impact, capable of inducing a dreamy, relaxed state without the energy drain typical of strong Indicas. This makes Durban a favorite among those seeking a high-energy buzz without the lethargy.

Strain FAQ
What terpene is common in anise-flavored strains?
Anise-flavored strains have terpinolene-rich terpenes. The anise-like flavour and taste of this terpene come from its woody, herbal, and floral characteristics.
Are IBL strains important for breeding new ones?
New hybrid strains need IBL strains as genetic foundations. Their genetic purity and stability make them suitable for crossbreeding because they can predictably pass on desired qualities to hybrids. Breeders can regulate and efficiently develop new strains this way.
Were Sativa strains ever used for anything other than getting high or medicine?
Sativas' capabilities go beyond just these two things. Their strong fibres have been used to make ropes, clothes, and paper. This shows just how varied and valuable the cannabis plant has been even before its more modern uses.
