Strawberry Cough’s lineage
Strawberry Cough is a cross between parent strains Strawberry Fields and Haze.
Strawberry Fields is an indica hybrid strain developed in New York, known for its strong effects and sedation properties. It has a strong nose of berries, particularly reminiscent of ripe strawberries. Haze is a spicy, herbal sativa strain that has been beloved in the cannabis community since the 1960s for its uplifting properties.
Renowned grower Kyle Kushman is widely credited with developing Strawberry Cough, popularizing it on the East Coast with a clone he received before moving to the West Coast and sharing it there as well. Legend has it that this strain gets its name from its rich strawberry scent with a pinch of pepper at the end that can leave you coughing.
What Strawberry Cough smells and tastes like
The first thing you’ll notice about Strawberry Cough is the rich scent of ripe berries. It’s so strong that you may overlook the earthier, skunky undertones. These berry-forward notes carry over into the taste as well, but this strain also has a kick of spice and pepper at the end that can leave some consumers coughing. Expect the clear flavor of sweet, fruity strawberries on the exhale as well.
Cannabinoids in Strawberry Cough
Strawberry Cough is a relatively potent strain, often testing between 20% and 25% THC content. This strain has been bred for potency over the decades, but you may still notice a small percentage of minor cannabinoids as well, including Cannabigerol (CBG).
CBG is sometimes called the “mother of all cannabinoids” because it is responsible for the development of all the other cannabinoids in cannabis. This cannabinoid may appear between 0.5% and 1.5% in Strawberry Cough. Some varieties of Strawberry Cough will also have CBD or CBDa, although usually at levels below one percent.
Terpenes in Strawberry Cough

- Myrcene
- Pinene
