Maui Wowie, sometimes called Maui Waui, is a mostly Sativa hybrid that was considered a top of the line strain when it first appeared in the 1960s. The argument, ‘pot wasn’t as potent back then’ generally refers to a time before Maui Waui was developed.

In case there was any question, the Maui Waui strain is said to have originated in Hawaii and maintained over the years through selective breeding techniques. Before long, select travellers brought some Maui Waui seeds back to the continental US and its popularity continued to grow.

Of course, a batch of the Maui Wowie strain found in California or Colorado will be much different than a batch you would find in Hawaii. Not only is the amount of sunlight much different, but the volcanic soil is sure to play a major role in plant production.

Maui Wowie was one of the first strains with greatly increased THC content. In the 60s, when Maui Waui was bred, the THC content of an average marijuana strain was quite low (almost always under 8%). Maui Waui featured THC content well into the teens and quickly became one of the most desired strains available.

These days, it is considered to be a middle to high-grade medication that provides a typical Sativa high with a few Indica perks. Other strains (along with new hybrids) have caught up and even surpassed this legendary strain in THC content.

The original king of sativa-dominant hybrids, Maui Wowie, is a tropical bud with a legendary status in the cannabis world. Cannaseurs will likely have heard of this fruity bud famed for its pineapple flavour and energizing and uplifting effects.
