Maui Waui Strain Review — A Left Coast Island Escape 🏝️
Maui Waui doesn’t just show up — it takes you on vacation. This legendary sativa is one of the original island landraces, born in the volcanic soil of Hawaii and known worldwide for its tropical flavor, breezy energy, and feel-good high. If OG Crusher is the heavyweight couch companion, Maui Waui is its sun-soaked, surf-ready counterpart.
Fun Fact – Maui Waui has been a cannabis classic since the 1970s, gaining fame as one of the first “exotic” strains to reach the U.S. mainland during that time. It’s even been featured in 2 mainstream movies. Up in Smoke by Cheech and Chong and Half Baked with Dave Chappelle. Today, Left Coast is bringing its island roots straight to New York dispensaries.

Grind it up, and the citrus pops even louder, filling the room with a sun-drenched aroma that instantly shifts the mood.
