We are a company that is striving to change the face of the cannabis industry. O-penVAPE is the leading brand in cannabis and offers the best vaporizing pens on the market. We provide consumers with safe and classy alternatives to smoking and edibles. Our goals go beyond providing the best products; we also aim to promote the mainstream acceptance of the cannabis industry. Cannabis consumers have been pigeonholed into an archetype of lazy pot-heads that simply isn’t accurate. We know that cannabis consumers aren’t lazy — they can be moms, dads, young professionals, retirees, medical patients, and more. We want to help society come to accept this fact. Mainstream cannabis acceptance is gaining momentum, and we are striving to encourage it by removing the labels and stigma associated with cannabis consumption. Cannabis can be a part of a healthy lifestyle for anyone and everyone to use responsibly.
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.
