Maui Wowie Strain Highlight: The Classic Sativa at Capital Cannabis in Douglas, MA

If you’re a cannabis enthusiast, or you’re old enough to remember Cheech and Chong’s classic 1978 film, ‘Up in Smoke,’ you’ve heard of Maui Waui or Maui Wowie.

As one of the early Hawaiian organic cannabis strains, it was popularized by Hawaii’s carefree surfer community. It later influenced the music scene in genres such as reggae, hip-hop, and rock.

You can also see the Maui Wowie vibe reflected in fashion with an island aesthetic of tropical and tie-dye prints. You can also find its influence in modern culture, such as internet memes.

What Is the Maui Wowie Strain?

Maui Wowie is a classic sativa strain of marijuana that originated in Hawaii. It was derived in the early 70s from the volcanic soil of Hawaii. The flower contains mostly THC cannabinoids, coming in at just over 15%.

Cannabis enthusiasts love it for its tropical flavors, especially the pineapple, indicative of the island. It produces a potent, high-energy euphoria while still allowing you to escape everyday stress.

Terpene Profile and Flavor Character

It may be the THC that instigates the euphoric escape, but it’s the terpene profile of Maui Wowie that creates the lush island experience.

Terpenes are chemical compounds found in plants that give them their flavors and aromas. Cannabis benefits substantially from terpenes, especially when it comes to the effects of marijuana.

Some of the most dominant terpenes in Maui Wowie include the following:

• Myrcene: This stress-relieving terpene adds an underlying earthy aroma to the experience.
• Caryophyllene: This terpene gives Maui Wowie a punch with its pepper and spice notes.
• Pinene: Pinene adds the crisp, pine aroma we associate with Maui Wowie. Many believe pines contribute to the mental clarity and focus that Maui Wowie delivers.
• Limonene: Maui Wowie fans can thank limonene for the sweet, citrusy flavor, truly a mood booster.

The combination of these terpenes makes Maui Wowie enhance the pleasure of all senses while relieving stress and promoting cerebral activity. The terpenes help make Maui Wowie the perfect choice for socializing, creating, or reflecting.

Maui Wowie THC and Potency

The typical Maui Wowie flower strain has a cannabinoid profile with THC. The THC level of the flower ranges between 15 and 24%. Other cannabinoids, such as CBD and CBG, make up less than 2% of the profile.

Since most of the Maui Wowie flower THC range falls between 15 and 24%, the user will experience a noticeable uplifting experience while still feeling in control.

Some consumers report that it does help with depression and fight fatigue to improve energy levels.
