If I were to tell you that Poison was going to help you through your day, you may think I am crazy. Like many other strains in the medical community I find Durban Poison to be a misnomer, for harmful it is not. Reputedly originating from South Africa, breeders from Europe recognized the value of a pure sativa and brought it North in order to better stabilize the sativa traits.
Every once in awhile I’ll encounter a cross that makes me scratch my head and today’s sample is one of those herbs. The breeder crossed Purple Urkle with Romulan, and Urkulan is the spawn of these two powerhouses. Bred for its myriad medicinal benefits, Urkulan takes Indica-heavy hybrids to new heights.
Jack Herer, like its namesake, the self -proclaimed Emperor of Hemp, is legendary in its ability to defy expectations and stigmas. If you haven’t sampled it, you’ve probably heard of it. The award winning cross is reputed to be 50% Haze x 37.5% Northern Lights #5 x 12.5% Skunk#1 and if that sounds familiar it’s probably because those are the same strains used in a number of other big-name crosses (including one of my personal favorites Super Silver Haze). The intention of the breeder was to take full advantage of the incredible sativa effect of the Haze, but to shorten its stature and increase the bud density by combining it with an indica.
If you’re familiar with medicinal marijuana, then I can only assume you have heard the names “OG Kush” and “G-13” in your experience. Both have earned notoriety independently: OG Kush for its very distinct taste and smell; G-13 for its incredible potency and seemingly unparalleled strength. I can only imagine what the breeder was thinking when they put these two power houses in a room together to work their magic. What we have ended up with is one of the finest medicinal herbs available: MK Ultra.
