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!
