Strawberry Cough is a highly-regarded sativa strain noted for its cerebral, energetic, uplifting effects and sweet, fresh strawberry taste. Due to its effects, Strawberry Cough may be useful for alleviating stress, anxiety, and depression.

Kushman developed Strawberry Cough in California, but one of its parents, Strawberry Fields, is actually an indica from New York. According to legend, this indica was grown next to strawberry fields to mask the odor and started to take on the smell of the strawberries nearby.
