About Maui Wowie

Maui Wowie is a classic sativa rooted in Hawaiian landrace genetics. It became famous in the 1960s and 1970s and remains one of the best-known tropical strains, with a name that still evokes island sunshine.

The buds are typically light green and somewhat airy, with orange pistils and a moderate layer of trichomes. The aroma is sweet and tropical, often compared to fresh pineapple. Myrcene, a terpene also found in mango, is often linked to ripe fruity notes, pinene adds a fresh, slightly woody edge, and caryophyllene contributes a gentle spice in the background.

People commonly describe Maui Wowie as energetic and happy, with a creative, lighthearted mood that suits the daytime. Many enjoy it for outdoor activities, social plans or creative work. THC generally falls between 15% and 20%, with very little CBD, though potency varies by grower and batch.

With its moderate THC range, Maui Wowie can be approachable for newer consumers as well as those who simply prefer an upbeat daytime option. Start low and go slow, particularly if stimulating sativas tend to feel strong for you, and check the lab results on the package. Use WhereLeaf to find Maui Wowie at licensed dispensaries and delivery near you.

For adults of legal age. Not medical advice. THC and CBD vary by grower and batch — check the product label. Effects vary by person. Start low, go slow, and never drive high.
