Fuego Farms | Durban Poison | 1g

Expect a major blow to the head from this super-potent strain. A pure sativa, Durban Poison is the beloved inbred descendant of a sativa strain grown in South Africa. Ed Rosenthal, an American cannabis activist, discovered the original strain and brought it back to the United States in the 1970's - and she has long been a favorite of stoners and medical marijuana patients alike! Durban Poison has THC levels that can reach 24%, making it one of the world's more powerful strains. She hits with a strong, happy head high that's great for creativity and daytime errands - though paranoia and dry mouth may be potential side-effects. Durban Poison can be an effective treatment for depression and anxiety, as well as chronic pain, and it can also be helpful with nausea. The dominant smell and taste of Durban Poison is earthy and sweet, with a subtle pine aroma. The buds are round and chunky, with a dense coating of trichomes. Durban Poison is FANTASTIC for active periods, chores, and other daylight activities.

Fuego Farms’ classic 1-gram joints are hand-rolled and hand-finished by our owners using RAW 109mm cones to offer a reliable smoking experience every time! They’re produced from small, cured buds that are grown and ground in our family-owned facility outside of Rye, Colorado – and are produced in small batches to ensure the highest quality joint available. This is the joint that has been called the best damn preroll on the market today – they’re always full-flower from Colorado’s latest exotic genetics, and are the result of a months-long process to develop the ideal joint after our owner grew tired of inferior prerolls that run and/or clog. Take one toke of a Fuego 1g joint and you’ll be telling your friends “Where there’s smoke, there’s Fuego!”

Durban Poison has deep roots in the Sativa landrace gene pool. The strain’s historic phenotypes were first noticed in the late 1970s by one of America’s first International strain hunters, Ed Rosenthal. According to cultivation legend, Rosenthal was in South Africa in search of new genetics and ran across a fast flowering strain in the port city of Durban. After arriving home in the U.S., Rosenthal conducted his own selective breeding process on his recently imported seeds, then begin sharing. Rosenthal gave Mel Frank some of his new South African seeds, and the rest was cannabis history.

Frank, who wrote the “Marijuana Grower’s Guide Deluxe" in 1978, modified the gene pool to increase resin content and decrease the flowering time. In search of a short-season varietal that could hit full maturation on the U.S. East Coast, Frank’s crossbreeding efforts resulted in two distinct phenotypes, the “A” line and “B” line. The plant from Frank’s “A” line became today’s Durban Poison, while the “B” line was handed off to Amsterdam breeder David Watson, also known as “Sam the Skunkman.”

Durban Poison has a dense, compact bud structure that’s typical of landrace Indica varieties, but the flowers’ elongated and conical shape is more characteristic of a Sativa.
