Red Headed Stranger Strain

Overview

Red Headed Stranger is an Oregon heritage sativa-dominant strain, known for a citrus, earthy flavor and an energizing, clear-headed high. It typically tests between 15% and 20% THC. The name references the Willie Nelson album and song of the same title, used purely for branding, a naming choice shared by several older heritage strains that draw on well-known music culture from their era of origin.

Strain Helps With

This is not a substitute for professional medical advice; as with other energizing sativas, it is worth starting with a smaller amount if you are prone to anxiety.

Terpenes

Its flavor is shaped by limonene and myrcene, producing a bright citrus aroma with earthy depth.
