Big Island Poison
Also known as: Big Island Medicine
Overview
Big Island Poison is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Pua Mana Pakalolo, representing the perfect blend of two famous landrace sativa strains from different continents. This hybrid combines the African genetics of Durban Poison with the Hawaiian heritage of Kona Gold, creating what breeders describe as a sativa lover's dream blessed with hybrid vigor. The strain originated from extensive F1 testing to stabilize the genetics, with breeders discovering that many plants exhibited 'The Blood' phenotype, a rare Hawaiian Bloodline characteristic that was popular in the 1970s.
Big Island Poison has earned the nickname 'Big Island Medicine' among Hawaiian growers due to its notable medicinal properties. The strain maintains the high THC and THCv content characteristic of both parent strains, making it particularly potent and effective. Despite its intimidating name, Big Island Poison functions as the opposite of harmful, serving as both recreational and medicinal cannabis. The strain reflects the rich cannabis cultivation heritage of Hawaii's Big Island, where volcanic soils and optimal growing conditions have produced some of the world's most renowned cannabis genetics.
