Durban Poison lab report

Durban Poison was most likely over 20% THC in Maryland, where 63% of tests met that mark; overall, 43% of 528 flower tests reached 20% or more, 5.5% reached 25% or more, and 0% reached 30%.¹

The state split is large: 63% of Maryland tests met 20% or more across 123 tests, versus 15% in Michigan across 91; medians were 21.23% and 17.47%.¹ Growers, labs and testing rules vary by state, so that gap is not only a strain signal.

Mostly, yes: Durban Poison's outside THC figures sit near the lab middle, with one of the two single published values above the 19.45% lab median rather than far above it.¹ For ILGM's 20%, 43% of lab tests were at that level or higher, equal to about 4 in 10.^1,3

Among ranges, the 15–25% range from Weedmaps had the broadest lab fit, covering 87%, while the 15–22% range from High Times covered 68%.^1,4,5

For Leafly, the lower single value, 19%, still cleared the bar in 56% of lab results, or about 6 in 10.^1,6 A published web figure cannot identify the contents of one package; that requires the COA for that batch.

Yes: for Durban Poison, terpinolene led the terpene list in 67% of 236 detailed flower tests, while β-caryophyllene led 22% and limonene led 8.1%, so the lead is strong but not unanimous.¹

Leafly names terpinolene as dominant, and the tests agree: it led in 67% of terpene tests.^1,6 High Times also names terpinolene as dominant, and the tests agree: it led in 67%.^1,5

Nevada supplied 223 of the 236 terpene tests, so these lead shares mainly describe flower tested there.¹

The least similar terpene profile to Durban Poison was Tropicana Cherry at 26% overlap, while the closest lab-chemistry neighbors were Super Lemon Haze at 86%, Trainwreck at 85% and Jack Herer at 79%.¹

The nearest strains are also typically led by terpinolene, while Tropicana Cherry has β-caryophyllene as its lead terpene.¹ Method: summarize eight terpenes by median level, recast them as fractions of their combined terpene total, and count the overlap; identical mixes score 100. A strain entered this comparison only with 30 or more tests that include terpene detail.¹ This is a chemistry comparison only, not a prediction of how a strain will feel.

Yes: by median total THC, Durban Poison is low in the comparison set at 19.45%, ranking 42nd of 58, just below Green Crack (19.52%) and above Papaya Punch (19.00%).¹ For tests at 25% or more, the 5.5% rate placed Durban Poison 44th.¹

The name is steadier than most: the central half of results covers 4.66 points, with 17.33% at the lower quartile and 21.99% at the upper, placing 14th of 52 for narrowness.¹

For Durban Poison THC, qualifying lab medians vary by 4.42 points, with Lab D (Michigan, 29 tests) at the low end at 17.10% and Lab B (Maryland, 115) at the high end at 21.52%.¹ The comparison includes the five labs with at least 20 tests.¹

Because each lab tested its own supplier mix, the 4.42 points spread alone cannot show that a masked lab is biased high or low.¹ On this page the lab letters are placeholders, with Lab A assigned to the biggest test count; names appear in the downloadable test file.

Yes: stronger Durban Poison flower carried higher total terpenes in the paired tests, with the high-THC third starting at 21.77% showing a 2.80% median versus 1.60% for the low-THC third ending at 18.59%.¹

State-level checks matched the overall pattern in 2 of 2 qualifying states: Nevada up and Maryland up.¹ In Nevada, the terpene median was 1.60% in the lower-THC third and 2.21% in the higher-THC third.¹ Total terpenes measure aroma compounds by weight; they do not say how Durban Poison will feel.

Yes: Durban Poison has been testing stronger in the years with enough flower results, rising from 17.47% in 2018 across 27 tests to 21.62% in 2023 across 121, a change of +4.15 points.¹

The Nevada view points the same way: 2020 median 17.35%, 2022 median 21.95%, with +4.60 points change.¹ Years with fewer than 20 tests are excluded from the trend calculation.¹

Durban Poison lab submissions under the exact name were mostly flower: 59% of 991 records, with concentrates making up 27%, shake and trim 6.0% and pre-rolls 4.1%.¹ Only flower is included in this site's strain calculations.

We found 171 additional lab records with longer labels that included Durban Poison, equal to 15% of records with the name inside; leading examples were “TCVG - Motivator - Mix - Durban Poison - Each” (28), “REC: Spectra Plant Power 9 Durban Poison Infused Blunt 1g” (16) and “Pax-Diamonds-1.0g-Durban Poison” (13).¹ Those expanded labels stay out because added words, product markers and CBD wording can point to another item; see our matching method.

Yes: in our Oct 4, 2026 Weedmaps pull, Durban Poison ranked 7th of 50; its flower had 472 store-menu hits inside 50 miles of market centers and appeared in 19 of 27 markets.²

Exact-eighth medians, followed by same-menu rivals, were $32.50/$25.00 in Los Angeles; $45.13/$35.89 in New York; $55.50/$40.00 in Chicago; $12.00/$16.00 in Detroit; $18.00/$17.50 in Oklahoma City; $37.50/$37.50 in Baltimore; $42.00/$43.75 in Newark; $16.76/$18.83 in Denver; $20.55/$25.00 in Portland, ME; and $25.00/$25.00 in Portland, OR.² Durban Poison priced lower in 4 of the 10 comparable markets.²
