Here are some more details we think you should know about Red Headed Stranger.
Red Headed Stranger is a cross between William’s Wonder and Tom Hill’s beloved strain, Haze. Its bouquet is spicy and sharp, with a hint of herbaceousness. And, as we said above, Red Headed Stranger is energizing for most people. It’ll get your body and mind moving.

Here’s what Lightshade Budtenders say about Red Headed Stranger (the strain, not Willie’s album):
It's racy and uplifting. Perfect for daytime smoking when you have to get things done/run errands.
Definitely one of my favorite strains. I feel like it has a bright happy high and I'm a fan of painting when I've smoked some Red!
Very energetic and creative, the red headed stranger gives a little edge to be social and get things done!
I feel that the strain is pretty lack luster and inconsistent as far as how it grows. I tend to prefer a sativa that I can actually feel, this one just doesn't do it for me. There are multiple cuts and this one just doesn't do it for me or my wife.
It smells good but I don't like it at all. Indica is the only type of weed that gets me high. Sativa just gets me paranoid and it takes too much weed to smoke. It's like taking a shot (Indica) vs drinking a beer (Sativa), you will always have less shots but could always have more beer. RHS is very popular amongst customers however.
I'm not too into Sativas, but RHS is great. I like the taste, the look, and the smell.
I loved the smoke! The taste was slightly earthy with a hint of fruit. Provided me with an uplifting high. I felt energized and able to get things done.
While the Red Head is a sativa, I have never experienced particularly strong effects from it. I also do not find it to have a particularly noticeable or pleasant scent, especially compared to our other sativas, such as Lemon Skunk, Lavender Jones, or even the White '99 which hits very strong and always has dense nugs!
