What Is the Maui Wowie Marijuana Strain?
This strain’s origins date back to the 1960s, and its lineage includes a Hawaiian sativa. It was during the 60s that this flower first reared its head on the island of Maui. It wasn’t long before it was shared amongst every island in Hawaii before eventually making its way around the rest of the globe.
Most agree that weed is a lot stronger today than it was in the 1960s. And while the vast majority of strains were pretty mild back then, Maui Wowie broke the mold. It was one of the first-ever strains to offer a high THC content. Maui Wowie’s THC content typically ranges between 13-19%.
Maui Wowie is a sativa-dominant (80:20) bud that is highly-energizing, euphoria-inducing, and uplifting. Apart from its effects, Maui Wowie is famous for its characteristic mouth-wateringly delicious pineapple flavor.
