WHY TREES OF JAR

We got tired
of the back room.

Cannabis has been sold in South Africa like something to be ashamed of. Hidden. Rushed. Unverified. We built Trees of Jar because PMB deserves better. A proper dispensary. A knowledgeable team. Products you can trust.

OUR SOURCING

Only licensed.
Only tested.

Every product at Trees of Jar comes from a licensed South African cultivator. Every batch is lab tested. We know exactly what is in every product we sell — and so will you. That transparency is non-negotiable.

OUR TEAM

Budtenders
not salespeople.

Our staff are trained cannabis specialists. They will never push you toward the most expensive product. They will ask the right questions, listen carefully, and help you find the right product for you — every time.

Know Your Plant

Cannabis 101

Know your genetics.

Sativa strains tend to produce uplifting, energising effects — suited to daytime use, creative work, and social situations. Indica strains tend to relax and sedate — ideal for evenings, recovery, and sleep. Hybrid strains combine traits of both. The truth is more complex than this — terpene profiles matter as much as genetics. Our team will walk you through the nuances.

Two molecules. Very different effects.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound responsible for the classic cannabis high. CBD (cannabidiol) is non-psychoactive and is used primarily for wellness — managing anxiety, pain, and sleep. Many products contain both compounds in specific ratios. A 4:1 CBD:THC ratio, for example, offers therapeutic benefit with minimal psychoactive effect.

Start low. Go slow.

If you're new to cannabis, resist the urge to go straight for the highest THC product. Start with a low-dose edible or a 4:1 CBD:THC tincture. Edibles metabolise differently — effects can take 45 minutes to 2 hours to onset and last much longer. Flower and vapes offer faster, more manageable onset. Use our Strain Finder to get a personalised recommendation.

Method changes everything.

Flower is smoked or vaporised for near-instant effect. Vape cartridges offer a cleaner, more discreet experience with consistent dosing. Edibles — chocolates, gummies — are metabolised through the liver, producing stronger, longer effects. Tinctures are placed under the tongue (sublingual) for rapid absorption and precise dosing. We recommend starting with tinctures if you want maximum control.

What People Say

I have tried dispensaries in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Trees of Jar is genuinely on par with the best of them — and it is right here in PMB. The staff know their product inside out.

Finally a cannabis store that does not feel sketchy. Clean, calm, knowledgeable staff. The Ember Drops tincture changed my sleep completely. Nothing else comes close.
— PRIYA N. · PIETERMARITZBURG
★★★★★
The Durban Poison is the real deal. Locally grown, properly cured, beautifully presented. Trees of Jar has set the standard for what a cannabis store should be in South Africa.
