Poison Pit
Poison Pit is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar bred from its parent, Passion Pit. This strain has established a notable genetic legacy, serving as the parent for several distinct varieties, including Big Durban Sex Machine, Casual Tea, Guava Gore, Gunk, and Oblivion. Growers find the strain to be of moderate cultivation difficulty, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, and capable of producing high yields within a 64-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Poison Pit is defined by a complex terpene arrangement that ranks caryophyllene as the primary influence, followed by myrcene, humulene, limonene, bisabolol, linalool, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, and pinene. This configuration results in a distinct sensory experience shaped by the synergy of these nine compounds. As a THC-dominant cultivar, the strain delivers a precise chemical composition that avoids the traits of traditional landrace or heirloom varieties.
The effects of Poison Pit are characterized by a sense of creative inspiration, an uplifted mood, and notable euphoria. Due to these specific properties, the strain is frequently indicated for use cases centered on creativity, social interaction, and mental focus. Its documented utility in these domains remains consistent with its standing as a versatile modern hybrid.

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.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
