Red Headed Stranger
About Red Headed Stranger
Country music legend and weed advocate Willie Nelson has inspired several varieties of cannabis. Red Headed Stranger is one such bold sativa that pays tribute to the singer’s 1975 album of the same name. This strain’s buzzy, head-focused effects melt into physical relaxation on the backend. Although its original breeders are unknown, Red Headed Stranger is a cross between ubiquitous sativa Haze and Willy’s Wonder, also named in Nelson’s honor. This strain’s well-balanced effects come alongside a strong and spicy flavor profile. Red Headed Stranger’s potency has been measured at between 16% and 26% THC.
Red Headed Stranger is marked by small flowers that tend to adhere in pebbly clusters. Despite a mostly sativa background, these buds have the tight, densely-packed structure more often associated with Grows. The tightly-curled leaves a dark shade of forest green. True to its name, Red Headed Stranger is filled with curly red and orange hairs (which are actually pistils, structures meant to catch pollen from fertilizing male plants). Finally, a profusion of cloudy white trichomes covers the inner and outer nooks and crannies of these flowers, accounting for their sky-high psychoactivity.
