The Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid of the renowned Northern Lights #5 and Haze. This cross is named for its thick smoke that expands the lungs and often causes consumers to cough. The flavor and aroma is a mixture of earthy, hash notes and a hint of citrus. The Cough produces a happy mindset and a relaxed body making it a great strain to counter stress.

I purchased The Cough strain Muse CDT cartridge at Trulieve in Florida. I aimed at being informative, so this review is good for “beginners” looking at trying new strains and not sure which one to get. It’s a little long so if you’re an experienced user and knowledgeable about terpenes you can probably skip to the end. Also, it’s not a medical review, but what I CAN say is it’s making my tinnitus worse and it’s definitely not making my headache go away, lol. Contrary to what Leafly lists as the dominant terpenes for this strain, the Certificate of Analysis for this batch is dominant in Limonene and Carophyllene at 0.855 and .818 % respectively, and the less dominant terpenes Humulene, Linalool, and Myrcene at below .3%. I’ll start off by telling you my tolerance is pretty high. I prefer sativas and sativa dominant hybrids, but I’m very susceptible to anxiety when smoking weed so I always try to stick to higher levels of some terpenes over others. On Leafly, it lists this strain as a sativa. On Trulieve, it lists it as a hybrid and I think I would agree with that. The Linalool and Myrcene in this strain makes me feel relaxed, while high levels Limonene and Carophyllene make me uplifted and creative. The Humulene in this strain just gets me high as f*** lol. Not that I don’t like that, I DO, but… definitely not a strain you should be smoking at work 😂 I recommend researching terpenes, checking terpenes of tested product (if you can), and experimenting with different strains so you know what you like. I kind of feel like strains are recipes, and each recipe tastes different just like each strain feels different. If you’re prone to anxiety, try strains with high levels of Limonene and Carophyllene, followed by Myrcene. Any mix of the 3 is good but I find high levels of Limonene are best for making me feel uplifted, talkative and creative with no bad effects. I really enjoyed Apples and Bananas, and Creamsickler (which is a new strain but very similar to A&B which is more common) both from Muse that I purchased at Trulieve. They were very similar, while A&B was a bit more mellow than Creamsickler, which wouldn’t let me stop talking 🙊 or writing! Strains with Humulene and Terpinolene tend to make me feel anxious or “stoned,” especially if I smoke too much. This strain made it hard for me to focus on my work, and made me a bit too relaxed. My brain kept going to random places during conversations, thinking about creative projects I would rather be doing. If you’re a beginner who finds weed makes you anxious, you might want to be cautious with this and take it easy while smoking. With my tolerance, I find it pretty strong. Regardless of what I DON’T like about this strain, I still recommend trying this strain. It’s pretty good, I would say it’s a sativa-dominant hybrid. Good for chilling at home and watching TV, hanging out and chatting with friends, or working on a creative project, not so good for going to work due to its stronger relaxing and intoxicating properties. Thanks for reading my TED Talk. 😂 if you got this far, let me know if you found it helpful at all, I want to know if anyone is even going to read this. I just smoked this strain before typing it so that probably tells you how I’m feeling right now 😂 589 words 💀

I was very disappointed with this grower's strains. I bought 3 diff strains, including this Coff. I dunno if I am extremely picky, but these buds were SO leafy and harsh, even brown leaves and I have found 3 seeds so far, taste is not great at all, burns up very quickly. It's like it was not processed correctly. Ok, old school bud, I get it. But this was rediculous. I wanted to take it back as soon as I opened it. After trying, my feelings did not change. Will not by from this grower again after 3 failed strains. No wonder it was on sale. Very sorry for my negative review, I wanted to be wrong..

I don’t usually use a Sativa but The Cough carrie’s no Paranoia with it, which is what I avoid so it works out great as my daytime pain and soc. anxiety relief. I just grind a bit of CBD herb with, to counteract the anxiety that may be inherent in The Cough …

Fort Collins Cough Not the strawberry cough from Amsterdam. It was a well known strain here in Boulder and Fort Collins. My buddy has been keeping a mother of this since the early 2000s. It’s a Haze dominant phenotype, but yields. It is one of the strains I believe to be perfect.

Quite pleased with this ounce I got from Pure on Colfax -you definitely wanna get it if it's in stock - just so happens, since PURE is semi-kraft- And I went every other week just by chance - so ended up with their flower, wax, and CO2 distillate from the same harvest. Sorry if that's not neat to anyone else/ it was to this gal! But I was worried it would be a short lived ride, but was pleasantly surprised after smoking an .8 j over an hour ago, Im just now feeling the Indica effects set in... Meaning if you have stuuuffff. Ttttkkkkk doolll..... ;)
