The Plant

What is the Real Durban Poison?

A pure landrace sativa. 100% sativa. Grown in one place on earth. What it feels like, why it cannot be reproduced, and why most of what is sold under this name internationally is not the real thing.

Still Not Convinced?

We asked an independent AI what it thought about the real origin of Durban Poison — and whether the story told by American and European sellers holds up. The answer may surprise you.
