Strawberry Cough & Anxiety

With medical marijuana being legal in 14 states, marijuana strains are being discovered as having calming properties to treat such illnesses as anxiety. Strawberry Cough is a marijuana strain, and although there is speculation about its name's meaning, some say it got its name from the taste of the buds and the cough users experience after smoking it.

Identification

• Strawberry Cough is identified by its reddish color and large buds. The plant grows taller and thinner than other marijuana plants, mostly because of its composition. The plant is made of approximately 75 percent sativa and 25 percent indica. Cannabis is made up of three species, including Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa. Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa can both be used to produce marijuana. Sativa is known for its high concentration of THC, a chemical that gives users of this marijuana an energetic high. Indica is known for its high concentration of CHB, which is a chemical that gives its users a sleepy-feeling high. Because Strawberry Cough is so high in satvia, the plant gives users a more clear high, not usually leaving them groggy.

Considerations

• Recently, there have been states that have voted to decriminalize marijuana. Usually "decriminalization" translates into a conduct that is treated like a minor traffic violation. The following states have decriminalized marijuana as of June 2010: Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Oregon.

Benefits

• Many reviews have deemed it as an "energetic high." It treats depression and anxiety because of its heavy sativa composition, which promotes energy. Users may feel a slight headache in the comedown that may be caused by the coughing, but they also report feeling more relaxed.

Time Frame

• When growing a Strawberry Cough plant, it takes only about two months to harvest its first yield, and 65 days after there is another yield. When using Strawberry Cough, the high is said to last from anywhere between one to two hours.

History

• Strawberry Cough is thought to have originated from genetics that are of North American origin and European origin. The plant has since been made into a hybrid between sativa and indica.
