If you're looking for a stain that is uplifting without making you feel like a space cadet/astronaut, this is definitely a strain to check out! For me, this is the only strain I've found that gives me the medicinal effects without the impairment of virtually every strain I've tried over the years. As for the taste? It starts mild and ends with a pineapple aftertaste. Maui Wowie has legendary status for a reason.
