Poison

The Origin Story: Straight Outta Durban

Grown on South Africa’s coast, this landrace survived decades of colonial botanists, Dutch seed banks, and California bro-breeders trying to cross it with literally everything. The result? A sativa that still acts like it’s on safari—tall, lanky, and 100% convinced it can outrun your responsibilities.

Effects: Who Needs Adderall?

Expect a cerebral slap sharper than your mom’s group chat. Creativity, focus, and the ability to finish entire novels—or at least the first three chapters—before the microwave dings. Couch-lock is a myth here; you’ll be pacing, plotting, and probably DMing your ex a business plan at 2 a.m.

Flavor & Aroma: Black Licorice in a Pine Forest

Terpinolene dominates, giving you sweet anise and earthy pine with a hint of mint—like someone blended Jagermeister with Christmas. The smoke is spicy enough to make you cough, but the flavor keeps you coming back like it’s a dare.

Growing: Stretch Armstrong in Plant Form

Indoors, she’ll triple in height the moment you flip to 12/12, so bend, top, or invest in a ladder. Outdoors, she’ll tower over your fence like the Kool-Aid Man, finishing in late October with spear-shaped colas that look dipped in sugar. Mold resistance is solid, but neighbors asking questions is not.

Medical: ADHD’s Favorite Houseplant

Patients swear by it for attention deficits, depression, and the existential dread of doing laundry. It’s uplifting without the raciness of some hazes, and the THCV content adds a bonus appetite-curbing effect—great for when you want to be productive instead of devouring an entire pizza.

Who Should Smoke It

Perfect for writers, programmers, and anyone whose to-do list is longer than a CVS receipt. Avoid if your plans include naps, Netflix marathons, or operating heavy machinery that isn’t a vacuum cleaner at 3 a.m.
