Kona Gold, also known as "Kona," is a sativa marijuana strain that has traveled far from its native origin, the volcanic soils of Hawaii’s Big Island. Soaring cerebral-focused euphoria captures the mind while leaving the body light and functional, making this sativa a perfect pair with or replacement for your morning cup of coffee. A tropical medley of pineapple and citrus flavors are cut by a sharp sour aroma that could almost be compared to diesel fuel. The authentic Kona Gold is unique to its mineral-rich homeland, but its replications overseas still have much to offer sativa enthusiasts.

Correcting for Kona coffee caramel Kush or whatever. The indica one. The cartridge anyway. It still has that similar Gold uplift even if it mellows into mush thoughts. Movie weed. Evening stuff. Tasty enough. Very consistent mellow buzz. Weird.. right? Kona speed! Beats me on coffee flavor. Lasts on the longer spectrum too. I can see too much maybe helping sleep for some. Clear headed enough til the end of it.

I initially smoked this in a cartridge, and I would definitely buy one again. It had a pretty good high that was perfect for giving you an energy boost. I was able to get a lot of house work done.

There's quite a few really good, detailed reviews on here. But yes, to me it tastes smooth and earthy with subtle hints of floral. Its really just an awesome, all around bud in general. But... For me personally, I find it to be 👌 great for wake and bake and even getting some work done in a focused and creative way; as well as sharing fun stories or interesting ideas in an enjoyable conversation. And while the euphoria isn't completely over the top (granted, my tolerance is pretty high), it is still one of my favorite go to sativas and definitely at the top of my list. Highly recommend!

Great flavor from the initial hit, the tropical fruit taste is legit. The high is straight to the dome, but not crushing, very cerebral & relaxing without feeling sleepy.

My relatives on Maui used to tell stories about how awesome hawaiian smoke was in their time. My uncle had the original maui wowie before helicopters raided their patch a few decades back. When our state legalized I looked everywhere for hawaiian flavors, specifically the old maui wowie. Couldn't find them anywhere, starting to think they went extinct. Then my friend showed me some hybrids on leafly that were bred by pua mana ohana seedbank like maui mango diesel. Sounded like the same stuff. I ordered Maui Mowie and Kona Gold, before they sold out, to see if they were like the legends said, sure enough it's them! Hawaiian sativa sprout up like tropical Christmas trees, stinky and sparkly. When it was finished last year I suprised my uncle with a puff of pua mana pakalolo. You should have seen his eyes light up. He held on to that doobie til we asked for it back and then he started laughing and laughing. Yup this is the stuff alright. Just picked up Elephant for our outdoor crop this year. Saw all the drama online with people trying to slander these folks and figured I would share my story for others out there looking for classic hawaiian. Thanks again pua mana, keep up the good work!

I used this shatter in some honey and it gives a long-lasting happy feeling when I add it to my morning tea. This strain is potent enough to give a nice body high but also allows me to focus on homework or studying. Overall I am really happy with the potency of this strain and the fact that it does not make me super paranoid.
