Four of the classic strains of cannabis

Skunk#1
Skunk is today used to mean any strong weed. The original was bred by
Sacred Seeds in order to combine the virtues of sativa (taste and cerebral
high) with the convenience of indica. It's famous largely because there's
some skunk genes in almost all the modern Amsterdam strains: Skunk#1 is a
very truebreeding line. Powerful stuff with high THC.

Durban Poison
Despite the fearsome name, this is a relatively mild, pure sativa from
South Africa. It's more or less a wild strain, but it's quite a stable and
predictable line. Growers like it for its early flowering, and smokers
appreciate the aniseed taste and the similarity to Thai weed.

Haze
Pure sativa again. Haze is lanky and can flower outdoors as late as
December. It has become a legend for its intense and ethereal high - and
there are those who argue that the less plant material you have to smoke to
get stoned, the better for your lungs.

Northern Lights
The variety that led the trend to cultivate under grow lamps. Being 100 per
cent indica, the plants are small and early flowering. It was developed in
British Columbia - now Vancouver rivals Amsterdam as cannabis capital of
the northern world - and the indoor cultivation was as much a response to
the climate as to avoid detection.
