Durban
Durban Poison is a landrace cannabis family originating from the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, specifically around the port city of Durban. Historical records and seed preservation efforts document this strain as an open-pollinated population adapted to subtropical climates, characterized by tall plant structure and extended flowering periods. The Durban lineage is frequently cited in breeding programs seeking vigor, disease resistance, and specific terpene profiles commonly associated with piney and spicy aromatic compounds. Modern cultivars carrying Durban genetics often retain tall growth patterns and robust root systems from ancestral populations. This family has been extensively crossed with other global genetics, creating numerous hybrid derivatives documented in contemporary seed catalogs.
