The Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid created by crossing Northern Lights #5 with Haze. Its name comes from its tendency to provoke coughs upon inhalation due to its potent, sharp smoke.
Terpene Profile:
Dominant terpenes include limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene. These contribute to a pungent aroma of citrus and pine, layered with spicy herbal notes, woody earthiness, and a touch of fuel. The flavor is bold—citrus and pine up front, followed by sharp spice and resinous depth on the exhale.
Effects:
The Cough delivers a brisk, energizing high characterized by an intense cerebral uplift—users report enhanced creativity, euphoria, and mental clarity. Because it leans strongly sativa, it can also provoke anxiety or paranoia in sensitive users, especially at higher doses.
Medical Uses:
This strain is often selected for relief from depression, fatigue, chronic stress, and ADHD/ADD symptoms due to its uplifting, focus-enhancing head effects. Some also use it for nausea and appetite stimulation.
