Strain of the Week: May 31, 2015 (Strawberry Cough)

Humboldt, Tennessee, is the Strawberry Capital of the World.  So is Ponchatoula, Louisiana.  And Plant City, Florida… and Stilwell, Oklahoma.  Need something closer to home: try Watsonville, California.  Or Oxnard.  Apparently it makes no difference.  Heck, you could be sitting in one of the Strawberry Capitals of the World right now.

Just as prolific as world “strawberry capitals”, Strawberry Cough also seems to be popping up everywhere these days, enjoying a wave of popularity that includes several recent Cannabis Cup wins.  Strawberry Cough is a hybrid of Strawberry Fields, an indica, and Haze, a landrace sativa.  True to half its name, the strain smells of strawberries immediately upon opening the jar — though I didn’t cough nearly as much as its moniker would suggest.  The sweet berry taste was reminiscent of Frankenberry cereal, creating a smooth and flavorful smoke.

With a high that is uplifting but focused, Strawberry Cough is perfect for group work or outings with friends, leaving you feeling social and interactive.  However, the contributions of its indica genetics means is just the right bit of relaxing: like an airport massage before boarding your plane.  Combined, these effects work brilliantly to curb the symptoms of social anxiety and depression.
