Strawberry Cough AAAA+

Strawberry Cough AAAA+ is a bracing, taste-focused sativa hybrid. Its unmistakable strawberry flavour is the result of crossbreeding by cannabis pioneer Kyle Kushman. Its impressive buds won the title of Best Flower in the 2013 Cannabis Cup. Fruity and light, this strain is an uplifting and productive smoke that can be enjoyed in a variety of settings.

The flowers are covered in cloudy amber trichomes that lend the leaves a slightly yellowish appearance. Red — rather than orange — pistils are threaded through the sticky leaves. The mild scent of strawberries wafts up from the buds, mixed with a little bit of peppery spice. When buds are combusted, they give off a herbal cloud, reminiscent of parent strain Haze.

Aroma

Smoke from this strain is typically harsh, causing many users to cough and sometimes leading their eyes to water. The initial taste is of ripe strawberries, without any hint of skunkiness or musk. On the exhale, the strawberry flavour has some more sweetness. This saccharine berry scent lingers for a while after users have toked.

Strawberry Cough’s AAAA+ thoughtful high settles in almost immediately. Users may feel initially unsettled, but, in the right set and setting, can embrace the sharp focus associated with this strain — it’s great for deep conversation, reading, or working on tasks that involve some degree of creativity or problem-solving.

This strain is also great for:

• Stress
• Anxiety
• depression
• ADHD

Strawberry Cough strain can also impart an energetic feeling of motivation and intensity that’s perfect for plowing through more mundane tasks.

As users feel a boost in energy and creativity, they may feel a dissipation in anxiety or stress. Some have also reported relief from painful migraines, as well as less intense headaches. Side effects of this strain include the possibility of paranoia, which can happen with larger doses when intense cerebral thinking can kick into overdrive.

The high from Strawberry Cough AAAA+ strain lasts longer than average, from about 3 to 4 hours.
