Sativa THC 20.0%

Strawberry Cough

Sweet strawberry smoke with a paradoxical social, calming quality — the most sociable of all sativas.

About Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough has a disputed origin — some attribute it to Kyle Kushman, who claims to have found it growing in a strawberry field in Connecticut; others trace it to Haze and Strawberry Fields crosses. Regardless of its beginnings, it has become one of the most beloved sativa-dominant strains in the world for the clarity and sociability of its effects.

The aroma is characteristically sweet — fresh strawberry candy with a gentle herbal earthiness underneath that stops it from being purely confectionery. There is a faint skunk note in the background that deepens on exhale, along with a green, almost grassy quality that grounds the sweetness pleasantly.

The "cough" in the name is real — even experienced smokers often find Strawberry Cough expansive on the lungs, producing the tickling chest sensation that gives it its name. The experience is worth it: a calm, clear-headed euphoria builds steadily that is particularly notable for reducing social anxiety. Unlike many sativas, Strawberry Cough consistently makes users feel more comfortable in social situations rather than more alert or wired. It is the strain most recommended for anxiety management among sativa types, with a gentle effect profile that suits beginners well.
