Buy Durban Poison Strain Australia

Buy Durban Poison Strain Australia Durban Poison is a cannabis strain sometimes called “diet weed.” (1) It has a relatively high concentration of THCv, a cannabinoid that binds to the same receptors as THC. THCv is thought to be responsible for Durban Poison’s ability to provide the equivalent euphoric effect as a robust THC-heavy strain but with a shorter, more productive efficacy period and a unique appetite-dampening mechanism.

Where is Durban Poison from?

Gelato Located at the mouth of the Umgeni River, looking out across the Indian Ocean, Durban is a coastal city in eastern South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province. The ancestral plants of the modern-day Durban Poison strain are thought to have come from a hilly area just outside the city.Durban Poison has had centuries to adapt to the harsh conditions in which it now thrives. Modern cultivars benefit from the original plant’s hardiness, as well as its flexible genetic morphology. Og Kush

The Durban Poison Lineage

Wedding Cake Durban Poison is commonly referred to as a “landrace strain,” meaning it was initially a pure form of sativa native to the area in which it was found. However, small-scale cannabis growers have cultivated it in South Africa’s so-called Emerald Triangle for generations. Modern Durban Poison is descended from plants thought to have been cultivated by indigenous tribes in the region as far back as the 14th century (2). As colonizers spread across South Africa, cannabis was repeatedly the target of criminalization, and growers retreated far into the hills.Gary Payton

Durban Poison Strain History

Durban Poison gained notoriety among African weed strains when some cannabis legends of the time brought seeds to Amsterdam in the late 1970s. The plant’s short flowering and grow time, combined with its recreational effects, made it appealing to cultivators. It wasn’t long before the Dutch cannabis scene was replete with this new strain. International collaborators shared the seeds of this African landrace strain and fine-tuned it to optimize resin content and further reduce flowering time. Today’s Durban Poison has an average 21 percent THC content with recorded concentrations of up to 25.5 percent (3). Durban Poison also contains a relatively high THCv concentration, averaging around 3 to 5 percent (4).CandyLand
