About Hawaiian

Hawaiian is a sativa-leaning strain. People who try it most often describe feeling happy, talkative and creative.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 23 flower samples tested between 2020 and 2023 came in at a median of 18.2% total THC (the middle half ranged from 16.9% to 19.1%). CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That is in line with most flower on Canadian shelves. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.

Aroma, flavour and terpenes

In lab tests its dominant terpene is limonene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Limonene is known for bright citrus-peel freshness, while pinene adds sharp, fresh pine. Total terpene content measured a median of 1.7%. Consumers most often describe the flavour as tropical, pineapple and sweet.

Reported effects

Beyond feeling happy, reviewers also mention feeling energetic and uplifted. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with stress, depression and pain. The side effects mentioned most are paranoia, anxiety and headaches. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
