The Short Answer
What kind of high is The Wills?
Myrcene-led and floral-pine on the palate, most often reported relaxed and picked for watching tv/movies at night.
Terpenes decide how a strain feels — THC% only decides how strong the dose is. Here is the family, the chemistry behind it, and what people reach for it to do.
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that shape the character of a high. The blend a strain carries — not its THC percentage — is what makes one feel bright and social and another heavy and sleepy, which is why the top three are listed rather than just the leader.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

The Experience
Professor High Says...
In-depth strain breakdown from Professor High, our AI cannabis expert
The moment this hits, there's a bright citrus-pine snap on the exhale that wakes up the senses before anything else happens. Within minutes I notice a lift — happy, a little energetic, genuinely creative — the kind of mental spark where ideas connect faster than usual. That's the limonene and pinene doing their early work, I'd wager, keeping things clear-headed and social.
But give it twenty, thirty minutes, and the myrcene foundation starts pulling the body down into something heavier. The euphoria doesn't disappear, it just gets wrapped in relaxation. My shoulders drop, my thoughts slow their pace, and suddenly the fridge looks very interesting. By the tail end, sleepy is the operative word — heavy-lidded, comfortably sedated, the kind of high that makes staying awake feel optional rather than mandatory. This is a strain that starts as a conversation and ends as a nap.

THC% tells you how strong. Terpenes tell you how it feels.
THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.
Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.

The long-form profile · ~3 min read
The Wills: A Willy's Wonder Descendant with Layered Effects
The Wills is an indica-dominant hybrid (75% Indica / 25% Sativa) built around Willy's Wonder genetics, delivering a wide-ranging 17-29% THC potency window that can swing from moderate to quite strong depending on the batch. Known under a handful of aliases in the market — William's Wonder, Willy's Wonder, and simply Ils — this strain remains uncommon on dispensary shelves, making it something of a sleeper pick for hybrid fans.
🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage
Multiple sources agree that The Wills traces its roots primarily to Willy's Wonder, though at least one source lists Blue Dream x Girl Scout Cookies as the parentage instead. This mixed reporting suggests either a renaming/rebranding situation or regional phenotype variation common with less mainstream cultivars. No breeder or decade-of-origin has been consistently documented, which fits its uncommon availability status — you're more likely to find it through specialty growers than major retail chains.
👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics
The Wills carries a terpene lineup led by Myrcene, supported by Limonene, Pinene, and Caryophyllene. While exact percentages are still thin (data quality here is anecdotal), the combination points to a classic hybrid signature:
- Myrcene — the body-forward terpene, contributing to the earthy, sedating undertone that anchors this strain's evening reputation
- Limonene — bright citrus lift that brings mood elevation and cuts through the heavier notes
- Pinene — a sharp, forest-like edge that keeps the aroma from feeling one-dimensional
- Caryophyllene — a peppery, spicy backbone that also interacts with CB2 receptors for potential body-relief support
On the nose, expect a sweet, tropical opening that gives way to pine, citrus, earthy, and woody layers as the bud warms up.
👅 Flavor Experience
The smoke or vapor delivers pine and citrus up front, transitioning mid-palate into spicy and fruity notes, with a sweet, floral finish lingering on the exhale. It's a well-rounded flavor arc — bright and zesty at first contact, mellowing into something warmer and more dessert-like by the time you exhale.
🎯 Effects & Experience
Users consistently report a dual-phase experience with The Wills. Early on, expect happy, energetic, euphoric, and creative sensations — a spark of mental brightness that's good for conversation or light creative work. As the session progresses, the relaxed, uplifted feeling deepens, and for many the strain settles into hungry and sleepy territory, which lines up with its indica-leaning composition and night designation as best time of use. Given the broad 17-29% THC range, lower-THC batches may stay more balanced and social, while higher-THC batches lean harder into the sedating, sleep-prep side.
🎮 Use Cases & Activities
The Wills fits naturally into:
- Stress relief sessions after a long day
- Anxiety management during wind-down hours
- Creative pursuits in the earlier part of the high, before sedation sets in
- Sleep preparation, thanks to the myrcene-driven body heaviness that arrives later
💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential
Reported use skews 60% mental and 40% body. On the mental side, users cite it may help with anxiety relief, stress relief, depression management, and general mood elevation tied to its happy/euphoric/uplifted effect cluster. Physically, it's associated with potential pain management, headache relief, sleep support, and appetite stimulation — the caryophyllene and myrcene combination likely underpins the pain and sedation-related reports, though terpene data here remains anecdotal rather than lab-verified.
⚠️ Consumer Considerations
Because THC can run as high as 29%, The Wills is better suited to those with some tolerance built up, or to newer users starting with a very small amount. Its uncommon availability means quality and phenotype can vary more than with widely-distributed strains, so it's worth noting the specific batch's reported effects and aroma before committing to a larger purchase.
