Strawberry Cough

Overview

Strawberry Cough is a sativa dominant strain known for its unique scent that is reminiscent of strawberries. Its origins are unclear, but it is believed that this strain is the creation of one Kyle Kushman. Kushman crossed the seeds that grew in a strawberry field with an original Haze strain to create Strawberry cough.
This strain won the Cannabis Cup for the Best Flower title in 2013.

Strawberry Cough has THC levels between 13%- 18%. The high is mostly cerebral and will induce moderate euphoria a few minutes into toking. This sativa dominant strain is applauded for its ability to give clarity of mind and sharpening focus without being over powering.

The aroma is predominantly a strawberry aroma with earthy undertones. It leaves a spicy aftertaste which may linger in the mouth moments later. The smoke is gentle, especially when using a decent gadget such as a vaporizer pen.

In terms of appearance, it features a multitude of colors with some cool yellows, purple, neon green and bright orange hues. The leaves are full of snow colored trichomes that carry the precious therapeutic compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes.
