Vampire Killer


With a name like Vampire Killer, it's not surprising that this strain packs a savory, garlicky punch.


Vampire Killer is a well-balanced strain, first cultivated by unknown breeders from a cross of African Thai and Marie Laveau. Marie Laveau is thought to be a combination of a few legends like Durban Poison, Afghani, and unknown OG strains. As soon as you open the bag, you'll get those spicy, garlic-rich terpenes wafting up. If you are lucky enough to get Vampire Killer from The Botanist, you'll get a Basil phenotype, with top notes that are intensely herbal. Cannabis connoisseurs have fallen in love with this hybrid for its relaxing, but not spacey effects. It's said to provide relief for physical discomfort and help with focus.


New description: Vampire Killer is a garlic-forward hybrid best known through releases from The Botanist, including their “Basil” phenotype noted for its intensely herbal, savory aroma. The strain’s exact origin is unclear, and no breeder has published official lineage. Some retail sources list Vampire Killer as a possible cross of African Thai and Marie Laveau, though this has never been verified and should be treated as unconfirmed.


Marie Laveau itself is an enigmatic hybrid with rumored ties to classics like Durban Poison and Afghani, but its true ancestry remains undocumented. Reports on Vampire Killer often highlight its spicy, garlicky terpene profile and a relaxing effect that doesn’t drift into heavy sedation, with some consumers describing mild focus and physical ease.
