Strawberry Cough (S)
Lineage: Strawberry Fields × Haze
Intro
Strawberry Cough is a legendary sativa known for its unmistakable sweet berry aroma and its uplifting, clear-headed high. Originally bred by Kyle Kushman, this strain gained fame for its ability to ease social anxiety and spark conversation — all while delivering smooth, energizing euphoria. True to its name, the flavor is bursting with ripe strawberries followed by a light, peppery tickle that might just make you cough.
Appearance, Aroma & Flavor
The buds are medium-dense and frosted in a fine layer of crystal trichomes, displaying bright green leaves with reddish-orange pistils throughout. The aroma is freshly sweet and fruity — like crushed strawberries and sugar — with a hint of herbal spice underneath. When smoked or vaped, expect a rich berry inhale followed by a slightly spicy, earthy exhale that lingers on the palate.
Effects

It’s often described as a “daytime comfort strain” — providing energy and positivity without overstimulation. Perfect for creative work, social events, or any situation where you want to stay sharp but relaxed.
