Hawaiian Dutch blends the island sunshine of Maui with Amsterdam’s craft, yielding a sativa-dominant hybrid that crosses Hawaiian with Dutch Treat. Also known as Dutch Hawaiian, the lineage tilts toward an energized, uplifting profile, with a rough 70:30 tilt in favor of the sativa side. It earned runner-up in the 2014 Seattle Cannabis Cup for Best U.S. Sativa, a testament to its lively character.
Its effects ride a cerebral wave of creativity, accompanied by a shot of energy, a touch of euphoria, and a bright mood lift. Medicinally, it can help ease depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and everyday stress.

Flavor and aroma honor both sides of its heritage, with citrus notes mingling with earthy and floral accents. On the palate, citrus, fruity sweetness, and tropical hints emerge, while the aroma leans citrusy, earthy, and floral. Typical side effects include cottonmouth and red eyes, with paranoia or heightened anxiety less likely; the strain is predominantly encountered in Washington state, where it maintains a regional following.
