Strawberry Cough

About Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough originated in the early 2000s and was popularized by New York breeder Kyle Kushman. The cultivar's lineage traces through Strawberry Fields and Haze, producing a sativa-leaning hybrid with a distinctive sweet-strawberry aroma layered over earthy berry undertones. The "cough" in the name references an apocryphal claim — disputed but persistent in cannabis lore — that the strain stops users from coughing on the inhale, despite its high THC. Effects are cerebral and sativa: mood-elevating, focus-oriented, energetic, with minimal body component. THC tests commonly land in the 15-20% range. Strawberry Cough remains one of the most-recognizable East-Coast-pedigree sativas on California legal-market shelves.
