UpNorth - UpNorth - Strawberry Cough - Pre-Roll Pack - 2.5g

## UpNorth - Strawberry Cough - Pre-Roll Pack - 2.5g UpNorth's Strawberry Cough is a sativa-dominant pre-roll pack carrying one of the most recognizable names in cannabis. Five half-gram joints of 100% indoor-grown flower with an unmistakable fresh strawberry aroma and a cerebral, mood-lifting high that's been putting smiles on faces since the late '90s. If you've never tried it, you've heard of it - and the reputation is earned. ### Genetics & Lineage Strawberry Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid believed to be a cross of Strawberry Fields and Haze. Strawberry Fields - an indica originally grown in New York - contributes the signature berry aroma and sweet flavor profile. Haze brings the sativa backbone: cerebral energy, euphoria, and that classic expanding smoke that gives the strain its name. The strain was popularized by renowned cultivator Kyle Kushman, who received a clone from a home grower and brought it from the East Coast to California, where it became a staple. It won Best Flower at the 2013 Cannabis Cup. Roughly 80% sativa, 20% indica. ### Flavor & Aroma The nose is immediately recognizable - ripe, sweet strawberries with a skunky, earthy undertone that lets you know this isn't candy, it's cannabis. On the inhale, bright berry sweetness dominates with a smooth, clean quality. The exhale carries subtle earthy spice and a peppery kick that expands in the chest and throat - that's the "cough" part, and even experienced smokers feel it. The strawberry flavor lingers well after the joint is out. ### Effects Effects hit fast - a rushing cerebral buzz that lifts mood and sharpens focus within the first few minutes. Expect euphoria, talkativeness, and a genuine sense of optimism that makes everything feel a little more interesting. Creativity flows easily, and social situations feel effortless. There's minimal body heaviness - just a light physical ease that keeps you comfortable without any drag. Duration is 2-3 hours. At moderate doses, this is a purely functional, clear-headed high. Higher doses may settle into more noticeable relaxation on the back end. ### Best For - Morning or midday sessions when you want energy and motivation without jitters - Creative work - writing, music, design - where you need mental flow and focus - Social situations where you want to be talkative, engaged, and in a great mood - Stress and anxiety relief that actually energizes rather than sedates - Exploring the city - Fisherman's Wharf, a walk across the Golden Gate, browsing shops in North Beach ### Cultivation Grown indoors and distributed by UpNorth Humboldt, a premier California cannabis distributor rooted in Humboldt County's multigenerational growing traditions. UpNorth curates only small-batch, top-shelf flower from carefully vetted cultivators. Their pre-roll packs use 100% freshly ground indoor flower - no shake, no trim - for smooth, even burns with full terpene expression. Modern indoor cultivation pushes Strawberry Cough's THC well into the 20s while preserving the berry-forward terpene profile that made this strain legendary. Dominant terpenes include pinene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and terpinolene. ### Dosing Each pre-roll is 0.5g - a solid single session. Strawberry Cough typically tests between 20-26% THC. Effects come on quickly and are energizing, so it's forgiving for most consumers at moderate doses. Start with one joint if you're newer to sativas. The smoke does expand in the chest - take smaller pulls if you're sensitive to coughing. Experienced users can enjoy multiple sessions throughout the day without building into sedation. ### Storage Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the pack sealed between sessions to preserve the signature strawberry terpene profile and maintain a smooth burn. ### Similar Strains If you like Strawberry Cough, also consider: Maui Wowie (more tropical, similarly energetic), Blue Dream (smoother, more balanced body), or Durban Poison (earthier, more driving focus). --- ### Frequently Asked Questions **Is Strawberry Cough indica or sativa?** Strawberry Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid - roughly 80/20 sativa to indica.
