Strawberry Cough

Known for its sweet smell of fresh strawberries and an expanding and cough inducing smoke, Strawberry Cough is an 80% sativa dominant hybrid created by an illustrious cannabis breeder named Kyle Kushman in 2001. After receiving a mysterious clone that was grown next to a strawberry patch somewhere in the North-East US (which he namedStrawberry Fields), Kyle proceeded to cross it with a Haze plant. The resulting hybrid was delicious and packed quite a punch, delivering a strong, cerebral high.

With THC content measuring between 16%-21%, Strawberry Cough produces a buzzy, mindful high that takes hold almost immediately. With sharpened focus and a boost in energy and mental clarity, it’s great for deep conversation, reading, or working on tasks that involve some degree of out of the box thinking or problem-solving. Strawberry Cough can also provide a surge of motivation and intensity that’s perfect for plowing through mundane chores or mindless tasks. The improved capability for non-linear thinking makes Strawberry Cough a uniquely creative strain. With euphoric effects and tendency towards chattiness, it is a great option for lively social settings. Medically speaking, Strawberry Cough is beneficial in regulating mood disorders, managing social anxiety, or to restore balance in times of elevated stress. Side effects of this strain include the possibility of paranoia, which can happen with larger doses, if intense cerebral thinking kicks into overdrive. The high from Strawberry Cough is said to last longer than average and it is ideal for morning or afternoon use.

With large and chunky bud structure, short stature and dense foilage, Strawberry Cough's appearance resembles an indica more so than a sativa. The sativa genetics do shine through in the tapered and conical shapes of the buds themselves. The flowers are blanketed in amber colored trichomes and red pistils are present throughout the sticky leaves. Mild notes of spice underscore the sweet strawberry scent with a hint of herbal taste that's remeniscent of the Haze parent. The harsher than usual smoke is known to cause the eyes to water and induce cough.

For its remarkable effects and benefits, Strawberry Cough has won numerous awards and accolaids, including:
