If you read through most of my strain reviews, you will see I lean more towards hybrids or an indica. I have been a little reluctant to try too many sativa strains simply because I mostly medicate at night before bedtime. Since sativa tends to make folks more alert, I was not sure that would work as a nighttime strain. I want to sleep. I don’t want to lay in bed staring at a TV or the ceiling all night.

But then I see reviews of some sativa strains and read where it helped with anxiety or pain or PTSD etc. So my thought is…how could it make you feel edgy if it actually alleviates stress and anxiety? I figured it was time for me to give a true sativa a try for myself and maybe try it a little early in the evening so I can adjust later in the night if needed.

My strain of choice for this test…strawberry cough purchased at one of my many local MMJ dispensaries here in SWFL. Strawberry cough s believed to be a cross between Haze and Strawberry Fields. It tends to pack a pretty decent THC punch and usually comes in around 19%. Flavor was a hit for me. I loved the sweetness on the draw into the mouth. Definitely had a berry terpene profile mixed with a little gas. And they have called it strawberry COUGH for a reason. It tends to make you want to cough on the exhale which seemed to expedite the effects coming into action.

It worked fast. After about 2 or 3 puffs, you should find that your mind is starting to let go of the days troubles. At the peak of the high, it made me feel like I could really get some stuff done. It never made me feel jumpy or paranoid or edgy, but it did make me feel rested and happy and motivated. And as the high was starting to wear off, it did allow me to relax to the point where I could have easily gone to bed and slept quite well.

In summary, it took away my fear of sativa strains. I know now that I can enjoy a sativa as it helps me relax and turn my mind off from unhappier events. And it did well when it comes to relieving the things I suffer from the most; nervous stomach, neck pain and depression. I will be buying this one again for sure.
