Out of Africa is a modern hybrid-sativa developed through the crossing of Ciskei and Durban. This cultivar thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, demonstrating a moderate difficulty level for cultivators. With a flowering period of 63 days, it is recognized for providing a high yield, and it has served as the genetic foundation for offspring such as She Devil.
The terpene profile of Out of Africa is led by terpinolene, caryophyllene, and ocimene, followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, nerolidol, beta-pinene, linalool, guaiol, and pinene. The complexity of its aromatic profile is further rounded out by the presence of geraniol, bisabolol, p-cymene, caryophyllene-oxide, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, borneol, valencene, camphene, and sabinene. This diverse chemical composition dictates the sensory experience, grounding its flavor and scent in this specific hierarchy of volatile compounds.
As a THC-dominant strain, Out of Africa is utilized primarily to induce feelings of creativity, euphoria, and an uplifted mood. Its specific effect profile makes it an appropriate choice for social settings, tasks requiring heightened focus, or the pursuit of creative endeavors. By remaining a consistent contributor to modern breeding programs, the strain maintains a functional role in the contemporary genetic landscape.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
