Maui Wowie

The Gold Standard.
This is, seriously, some Alice in Wonderland shit. If you want to close your eyes and trip out, out, OUT - this right here is your strain. Great for deep headphone listening and/or doing floor yoga.
I am currently very high. I know this is not unusual for Leafly reviewers - most of these reviews are clearly written by high people, and it's a beautiful thing. I mention it here only because I am currently bobbing and floating on glistening waves of Maui Wowie for the first time in nearly three decades. My first encounter with Maui Wowie was in college, in the early 1990s, and holy sweet googly-moogly did it ever fuck me up in a super-positive way. I had one hit, given to me by the guy who lived across the dorm hall from me, and I kid you not, I had to crawl back across the hall to my own room on my hands and knees, I was so freaking high. Oh, but it was a night to remember! 'Twas the first time I'd ever smoked any weed that convinced me I was going to spend the rest of my life in a mental hospital. I just knew that I had really gone over the edge this time, that my conscious was so completely expanded and distorted that I would never fit back into a human brain again and resume normal life. Holy shit I was wasted. I think I spent a good two hours just staring down at a cup of tea I was holding, convinced beyond all reason that I was actually looking down at a lake from an airplane flying at a height of 20,000 feet. And this was all before I turned into a caterpillar and ate an entire orange, peel and all.
Suffice it to say, I was nervous about ever trying Maui Wowie again. I can gladly report that my fears were unfounded. Whatever wild trip I had as a college student, I can sense now that it was all good, because I'm truly JUST AS FUCKED UP NOW and am enjoying every second of it.
I really do believe this is the best strain ever grown. Of course, I also know that nearly every Leafly review has some blissed-out stoner saying exactly the same thing about whatever strain they're high on at the moment. (And it's fucking awesome, isn't it?) But I'm serious here. I really can't recall any high I've ever had that's as good as this Maui Wowie, except for that time I smoked Maui Wowie in college.
IT REALLY IS AS GOOD AS I REMEMBER!
Especially recommended for creative professionals (you know who you are.) This shit will bend your light waves into surprising new colors. Try it out!
