Origin
Sour Poison is a cross of Durban Poison and Sour Diesel, with the pairing consistent across sources. Durban Poison, a South African landrace, brings the spice and the fast structure; Sour Diesel the fuel and the sour punch. The interesting part is that a cross of two energetic sativas reads as a relaxing hybrid in the review data, a reminder that parentage predicts less than people expect.

About
Sour Poison has two daytime parents and lands like neither of them.
It crosses Durban Poison, a pure landrace sativa, with Sour Diesel, and the marketing sells it as a morning strain. The review data tells a different story, with relaxed and sleepy notes near the top and a listed time of use in the evening.
What to Expect
Sour Poison opens bright and settles heavy. Leafly's breakdown leads with relaxed at 57 percent, then uplifted, happy and energetic all near 42, with a sleepy note for about one in four reviewers. It is an afternoon-into-evening strain despite the sativa billing.
Dry mouth turns up for a little under a third. An anxious note reaches about one in seven, worth noting if that is a concern for you.
Flavor and Aroma
Sour Poison is a pungent mix of sweet and sour with pine, diesel and a clear grape note underneath. Some batches show a minty, almost lavender edge. The taste follows the smell, sour and piney with the diesel behind it.
Terpenes Explained
No terpene numbers are on file for Sour Poison, only Myrcene and Humulene named without amounts. That leaves the nose to do the work.
The grape and diesel notes here come largely from compounds a routine terpene panel does not capture, so two jars sold under this name can smell quite different. Pick the one where the sour and the sweet are both present rather than just the fuel.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Sour Poison THC is reported around 18 to 26 percent, a strong range, with the low end of our wider band down on data noise. CBD is negligible. The data also lists small amounts of CBG, CBC and THCV.
The name and the pedigree say morning; the effects say evening, so plan the session around the second one.
