UpNorth - Strawberry Cough - Pre-Roll - 1g

UpNorth's Strawberry Cough is a sativa-dominant single pre-roll packed with 100% indoor-grown flower and one of the most iconic flavor profiles in cannabis. One gram of sweet, berry-forward smoke with a cerebral, mood-lifting high that's been a go-to for creative energy and stress relief since the late '90s. Grab one on the way out the door - this is a daytime strain built for doing things.

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 - delivers the signature berry aroma and sweet flavor. Haze provides the sativa engine: cerebral energy, euphoria, and that classic expanding smoke that earned the strain its name. Popularized by cultivator Kyle Kushman, who brought a clone from the East Coast to California, Strawberry Cough won Best Flower at the 2013 Cannabis Cup and has been a dispensary staple ever since. Roughly 80% sativa, 20% indica.

Flavor & Aroma

The nose is pure ripe strawberry - sweet, bright, and unmistakable - layered over a skunky, earthy base. On the inhale, berry sweetness fills the palate 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," and it hits even seasoned smokers. A full gram gives you time to really sit with the flavor, and the strawberry finish lingers well after you set it down.

Effects

Effects arrive fast - a cerebral rush of euphoria and mood elevation within the first few minutes. Focus sharpens, conversation flows, and everything feels a little more vibrant. Creativity comes naturally without the scattered energy some sativas produce. There's minimal body heaviness - just a light physical ease that keeps you comfortable and moving. Duration is 2-3 hours. At moderate doses this is a purely functional, clear-headed high. The 1g format gives experienced consumers a longer, fuller session to settle into the headspace.

Best For

• A full solo session when you want sustained creative energy or social uplift
• Morning or midday smoke when you need motivation without mental fog
• Walking around the city - North Beach, the Marina, Crissy Field, or across the Golden Gate Bridge
• Stress and anxiety relief that energizes instead of putting you on the couch
• Sharing with a friend who appreciates a classic strain with real history behind it

Cultivation

Grown indoors and distributed by UpNorth Humboldt, a premier California cannabis distributor rooted in Humboldt County's multigenerational growing legacy. UpNorth partners with carefully vetted cultivators and releases only small-batch, top-shelf flower. Their 1g pre-rolls use 100% freshly ground indoor flower for smooth, even burns with full terpene expression. Modern indoor growing pushes Strawberry Cough's THC well into the 20s while preserving the berry-forward profile that made this strain famous. Dominant terpenes include pinene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and terpinolene.

Dosing

This is a full 1g pre-roll - a generous session for one or an easy share between two. Strawberry Cough typically tests between 20-26% THC. Effects come on quickly and are energizing, making it forgiving at moderate doses. If you're newer to sativas, pace yourself through the first third and wait 10 minutes before continuing. The smoke expands noticeably in the chest - smaller pulls help manage the cough. Experienced consumers can enjoy the full joint in one sitting for a sustained, elevated headspace.

Storage

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. If you're saving part of the joint for later, use a doob tube or airtight container to preserve flavor and freshness.

Similar Strains
