Same as the one on Billie Nelsons’ 1975 song, this Red Headed Stranger is ready to shot you. However, this strain will shot nothing but its pure high potency that comes hidden in those deep-forest-colored and red-haired covered tall chunky buds.
This sativa dominant hybrid strain will leave on your palate that same citrusy flavor from the smell accompanied by an earthy and spicy aftertaste. Haze and orange flavors can be more noticeable in this strain’s concentrates.
Hitting with the sativa uplifting effects from Tom Hill’s Haze and the relaxation and calm that Willy’s Wonder background gives to these buds, Red Headed Stranger induces a well-balanced combination of these effects in its high. Its 16 to 17% of THC content makes it a respectable choice within the world of hybrid strains. Moreover, it is perfect for novice users as its balanced effects are totally manageable.
