Raspberry Cough

Raspberry Cough

Even though this strain’s name may sound like a symptom or sickness, there really is nothing to fear here! On the contrary, Raspberry Cough is quite an uplifting, calming and deeply relaxing strain! Traditionally, it is a sativa hybrid and was originally developed by breeders at Nirvana Seeds by crossing a Cambodian landrace and Ice strains. This particular phenotype, however,  has been further developed and crossed to the point of becoming a pure sativa, and thus offering stronger sativa effects! Its THC levels are fairly high, averaging up to 24% and also offering 1% CBD, which may be captivating for medical users seeking the highs of a great sativa while reaping the benefits of CBD! If this wasn’t appealing enough, if it wasn’t obvious, this strain also delivers a unique and deliciously fruity, berry-packed punch of flavour!

Effects

Whether you’re a recreational or medical user, if you’re looking for a fun and effective mood boosting strain, Raspberry Cough may be the perfect one for you and your needs. It is pretty fast acting, starting off with a cerebral head high that is focused and energized, making it ideal for a wake and bake to prepare for a long day ahead, or simply for mid-day usage as a little pick me up kind of strain to help get you through the rest of the day. These uplifting effects melt away stress and worries, as well as symptoms of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. It’s energizing and motivating nature will also strip away any feelings of fatigue. These effects are accompanied by a relaxing body high that is more tranquil and calming in nature rather than sedating, allowing you to feel at ease without being tired. This body high also helps alleviate a variety of symptoms, including those associated with chronic pains, cramps, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, asthma and multiple sclerosis. With Raspberry Cough, users get the best of medicinal effects without the heavy sedation that normally encompasses higher potency strains!

THC Content

Most variants of the Raspberry Cough are of the sativa hybrid variety, traditionally bred for a ratio of 70% sativa dominance to 30% indica. It was first bred by Nirvana Seeds and made by crossing a Cambodian landrace, which is a 100% pure sativa delivering 26% THC on average, and Ice, a near even sativa and indica hybrid that offers around 20% THC levels and 1% CBD. This cut of Raspberry Cough offered by Green Society however was further crossed and resulted in a pure sativa variant. It yields a THC content of about 15% to 24% on average, and also offers 1% CBD.

Appearance & Aroma

Raspberry Cough nugs are small and round, and may have fluffs or chunks of leaves jutting out that give it quite an ornamental look. Its colours are a variation of olive and deep, dark mint green with bright golden orange pistils, as well as little white and golden trichomes. It is heavily frosted, giving it a snow-blanketed appearance. Unlike the majority of cannabis strains, one of Raspberry Cough’s best qualities is its aroma! Bright, fresh, sweet, earthy and berry like with undertones of nuttiness, a whiff alone is quite pleasant! When consuming, users will taste a complex though delectable blend of flavours that includes overtones of fresh herbs and raspberry, highlighted by undertones of oranges, spices, earthiness, and a hint of sweetness that can be compared to strawberry candies!
