Quick answer
Strawberry Cough is a legendary clone-only sativa popularized by Kyle Kushman, 15-20% THC. Real strawberry sweetness, an expanding-chest cough, and an uplifting, euphoric, social high. A daytime classic.
Strawberry Cough tastes like actual strawberries and makes you giggle like a beginner. The cough is real - one deep hit and your chest expands - but the high is pure sunshine. The best social sativa for people who think they do not like sativas.

The story of Strawberry Cough
Strawberry Cough has one of cannabis's most human origin stories. The clone-only original came from a Connecticut grower - researcher Jeff Cavanagh's account credits a man who bred it while battling serious brain injury - and it was Kyle Kushman who found the cut in New York, grew it out, and carried the name to fame. The berry flavour is real, the cough is real, and the story behind it is why the strain has such a loyal following decades later.

Take one deep hit and prepare for the namesake cough - the chest expansion is part of the experience. The high arrives bright and giggly. Perfect for daytime socials, walks and anything that benefits from a good mood.
