Acapulco Gold Marijuana Strain

Sativa Dominant Hybrid Strain Sativa Dominant Hybrid 80% Sativa / 20% Indica

THC: 19% - 24%

This famous sativa-dominant hybrid, which has an 80:20 sativa/indica ratio, combines a powerful head high with a soothing body high that last for at least two hours. Acapulco Gold originated in Acapulco, Mexico, but no one seems to remember who first grew it or what parent strains were used. Acapulco Gold is pretty hard to find because it's difficult to grow indoors, but it's popular throughout the United States, especially in warmer climes. It's best used to treat anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, but it's also good for insomnia and headaches, as well as some mental disorders. This strain can be especially powerful, with THC levels as high as 24%. It has a distinct earthy flavor and aroma, with a taste of chestnut and tealeaves. As with most strains, the most likely adverse effects are dry eyes and dry mouth. Paranoia and dizziness are also possible but less common. Acapulco Gold is most popular in the Western United States, the Upper Midwest, and the desert Southwest. It often costs more than other strains because of its potency and the beautiful gold-tinged appearance of its bud.

The legendary strain never fails. As Sativa's go, she always runs neck and neck with the other legend Ghost Train Haze. Great Day timer or any Any timer. As perfect as any Sativa on the planet.

When I was 18, about the mid 80’s, I was working in a small call centre soliciting the local newspaper. One day our boss brought in some Acapulco Gold. I had never seen yellowy gold weed before. i thought he was putting us on with some weird herb. I had a few tokes and I could not believe how high I was! It was the Real Deal! That was the first and last time I ever saw true Acapulco Gold.

A friend from Sinaloa Mexico brought me a surprize Kilo of Acapulco Gold about 1972. It was wrapped in Acapulco Newspaper from 1967. All the flower had dried up and fallen off the stems and it had lots of seeds, smelled sweet and earthy, and was light gold in color. I rolled a fatty and passed it among 6 others. During the third round we all started laughing till our guts hurt. We passed it around again and started laughing again. The most incredible ever in my 71 years.

Excellent old school taste and smell...live rez cart. Peppery, earthy taste with a hint of sweet on exhale which is similar to the smell. Buzz is very heady and stoney at first. But then becomes quite focused and clear...leading into a relaxed state. No noticeable body effects.

I only had "real" Acapulco Gold once and it was around 1972. I had purchased an ounce and is was maybe 25 percent seeds. The remaining flower was pure sativa, some of the best sativa I've had in my 73 years. The most striking thing about it was the aroma it had and it's color, pure pale Gold. I have never since then found anything quite equal.
