The South African strain every grower tried to copy
Not many strains get copied worldwide. Durban Poison, the pure sativa landrace from Durban, is one of them: a 70s South African line so distinctive that growers everywhere spent decades trying to reproduce what it did. The video above tells that story, and it is a story that belongs to this country.

South African genetics, world fame
Durban Poison proved something South African growers have always known: landraces shaped by local conditions can compete with anything on earth. But worldwide copying has a quiet cost, too. When a strain is copied often enough, keeping the original true to itself becomes the real work, and that work can only happen in living plants.
That is exactly the work of CloneBuzzz Genetics. We supply verified living clones so that South Africa's heritage genetics, Durban Poison's story included, keep their original character intact from grower to grower. The country that produced the legend deserves to keep the living line.
