Aroma

When it comes to the fragrance of Strawberry Cough Strain, it is pretty much as the name implies; the fresh smell of berries, reminding you of summer days and the gleaming sun. The aromatic experience also expands over to slight undertones of skunk-iness and earthiness, giving it a complete spectrum. 

For the discreet smokers, you might want to stay clear of this one cause it leaves its sweet, earthy smell behind, and is known to immediately consume any room, lingering long after you've burned out the joint. 

The touch of herbal notes along with the sweet scent proves to be very capturing, stimulating the uplifting effects while tingling the high that you crave. 

Taste & Flavour - Strawberry Cough Strain

The sweetness of the cannabis strain that was evident in the aroma makes up the flavour of the bud too. Highly reminiscent of berries, the taste is sweet, lingering long after the smoke has left the premises.

The flavour also entails a contrasting and conflicting nature of earthiness, keeping the sweet tooth well in check. The sweet and sugary taste of the bud is enough to satisfy even the most extreme sweet lover out there. Meanwhile, the taste is sweet, the smoke is completely opposite and stands true to its Kush family. Even the most seasoned cannabis users are taken aback with its heavy flavour, thereby inducing a cough which explains the name of the strain - Strawberry Cough Strain. 

However, once you exhale, the flavour clings to the tongue and leaves you with a delicious after-taste that tempts you to take another hit. 

Effects

Known as a complex strain, the Strawberry Cough brings in its Sativa characteristics, while also providing a mellow, relaxing high that helps to keep you grounded.
