First time trying Strawberry Cough. Flavor is on point; start low if you're sensitive to THC. Great for evening sessions.

Pro secrets
The secret to unlocking the full potential of Strawberry Cough lies in temperature control. To preserve its delicate Myrcene terpenes, vaporize at 334°F (168°C) rather than combusting. This triggers the entourage effect, blending its 18% THC with secondary cannabinoids. Because of its clean, uplifting energy, it is the perfect companion for your morning coffee or creative brainstorming sessions. Beginners should start with a single inhalation due to its fast-acting onset, while seasoned users can appreciate its deep, multi-layered terpene depth.
