Maui Wowie reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Maui Wowie.
I have a delta 8 cart with this strain and it is perfect for people with high tolerance. Calming yet it also helps you have energy to do things.
Me: Registered Illinois Medical Marijuana patient with a 20 year relationship with Cannabis. I've smoked in several different continents and consider myself an expert in Cannabis. Nowadays, I consume more extracts then anything but recently have enjoyed flower.
This review is for a sample of Green Thumb Industries take on Maui Mowie. I recieved a gram sample for free from an Illinois dispensary that clocks in at around 22 % ish THC. No CBDs listed, however, that doesn't mean they are totally absent.
So it has been absolutely freezing these past few days, I am talking colder here in Chicago then Antartica. I was seeing if I could bring a little Island here to the Arctic Circle, but alas no bikinis or beaches were seen. This stuff is okay, but the cure is off and that deducts points.
Smell: Spicy with some floral backnotes, its a pretty typical landracey sativa smell. It's present in all landrace strains that I have tried and it must be the taste that the first people whom consumed cannabis ever tasted. However, the reports of fruit flavors and the short flowering time for a Sativa always make me wonder if most of the mainland Maui Wowie we see is actually legit.
The main problem is there is also a smell of HAY in there and that indicates a bad cure. This should be addressed. Why grow the flower and then mess up the cure? Especially when this is Medical?
Taste: Similar to the smell, the spice is smoother then some other landrace Sativas. Its a nice smooth smoke. I get a slight tart/citrus flavor on the exhale. I bet a better cure would have brought that out more.
Look: This stuff looks very pretty, lime green with orange hairs. Like classic headies basically. Neon green and covered in trichs. Nug structure looks Sativaish, long and spindly nuggets.
Honestly, this stuff reminds me of some Jamaican or Mexican that you would see from a friend with relatives in those areas that would somehow get it sent to them directly. It's got the same look as high quality import back in the day (though I was only around at the very end of those days).
Effect: I should note that due to the cold it has been dangerous to go outside and thus I have been stuck inside dabbing concentrates the last two days. That being said, just a few hits of this product shined through.
I did feel a subdued electric buzz that the Hawaiian strains are infamous for. However, it wasn't as intense as some of the other landrace sativa's. Heck, it isn't even as racy as the Durban leaning Cookies pheno live sugar I have. Once I added some coffee to the mix it got to a point where I was tingling at my spine and I would imagine it would be too much for a novice.
The more we learn about Cannabis, the more we learn about how much impacts the plant. I'd imagine there are 3rd generation farmers in the Maui Hills holding it down. This stuff is good but not great. I understand why this strain is popular and hope to get a truer representation at some point.
I got this as a cured crumble from East Dubuque Dispensary in Illinois.
And to be Frank- It makes me soooo horny.
My husband and I went from sex 1x a month… to once a day… it’s seriously- my favorite strain 💜
It’s alll the sativa benefits- without the anxious, heart-racing feel I’ve gotten from most others I’ve tried in the past.
Love this in the am- wake up, get shit done.
As an afternoon pick-me-up…
…it even works in the evening… if ya know what I mean.. 😂
Seriously, try it at least once. I guarantee it won’t disappoint!
A smooth taste with a nice even high. Quite happy so far with it.
Loves the item!!! great thanks to Jena at health for life Ellsworth!!!!! ROCK ON!!!
I get a very calming, in the head high. although this is a sativa, it made me very sleep. I do enjoy the fruity taste as well. I definitely recommend!
Got pretty hight of a cart my brain was just pumping out thoughs the whole time… it was cool a first but it got annoying pretty fast and never felt relaxed or focused enough to sit down and work on something. Not my favorite type of high maybe it is yours
Great sativa strain for daytime use. Not too heady but has a calming effect on my anxieties. Does induce some munchies. Used the Rove Waui cartridge - the oil was a bit thick but I don't mind as it produces large fluffy clouds. A great go-to everyday strain.
