Colombian Gold Marijuana Strain

Sativa Dominant Hybrid Strain Sativa Dominant Hybrid 75% Sativa / 25% Indica

THC: 19%

Colombian Gold is some seriously old-school marijuana. A close relative of the even more famous Acapulco Gold, this strain was born in the Santa Marta mountains of Colombia and exploded across the United States in the 1960s. Its popularity has since faded dramatically, but it remains an effective tool for treating muscle spasms and chronic pain. THC levels in this strain reportedly test above 19%, so it's a relatively potent choice for patients seeking a calming, energizing, clear-headed cerebral high that can also be used to treat anxiety and depression. CBD levels are much harder to come by, though Colombian Gold has been used to crossbreed strains that are high in that cannabinoid. Still, without more reliable information, this strain shouldn't be used as the sole medication for conditions that respond to CBD, including seizure disorders. Colombian Gold is a near-pure sativa (sativa/indica ratio of at least 75:25), the result of an original Colombian landrace strain. It delivers a smooth but tangy tea flavor and a Skunky aroma with notes of lemon and lime. The buds are covered in visible crystals. Though well past its prime, Colombian Gold still sells relatively well in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and Arizona.

I here thc levels were in single digits in the 70s. Is this the same columbian gold.


Wow! i had one ounce of this, one time, back in 1975. I thought it was just a one-off thing, but apparently others have smoked it, as well. This was without a doubt, the best day-to-day weed I EVER had. The true mark of a real good outdoor grow is the color of the seeds. Just like another reviewer said, the weed was a blonde color, and the seeds were nearly black! Black, or very dark brown seeds, with a lot of black spotting are always the best weed. Occasionally, you'll actually find some green weed with the dark, speckled seeds. And that, will probably be the best green weed you ever smoke. I can't imagine what I would be willing to pay to get my hands on some authentic Colombian Gold!


I smoked this everyday when I was a high school senior in Bogota. Those were the best days of my life. I only lived there for a year and then moved back to N.Y. But, that was the only variety I knew. I never laughed so much. Good times that I miss. I'm going to find out asap where I can buy this in Florida.


I am an American visiting in Bogota, Columbia. i am here to do further research on behalf of a United States non'profit organization intent to purchase some land and grow this Sativa Dominant Hybird...


does anybody know where i can get colombian gold seeds from in Australia?


Found this in 1976. Best weed strain ever for me. Exciting, sexually stimulating for whatever you want to do, uplifting in mood, energizing and great body high with no down side when effects trailing off. All leaf back then. Many leaves had a gold tinge color to them. Found it 2 years ago out here in Central Oregon but never seen since.


My parents smoked it in the 70's,and i heard about it in the early 90's when i started smoking.finally got some last week at fireleaf in OKC.Dark and light green with dark red hairs,somewhat earthy and floral notes when you break it up.pretty stoney stuff i must say.leaves a cheesy grin on my face and a fuzzy head.


been smoking since 72 and C.G was only of my fav's just the color was awesome , I have not bought some from world of seeds and got them sent to me in Canada, these babies are coming up very nice , I cannot wait to try it ,It;s been over 40 yrs and now i will once again smoke some old school , and yes most people do not even realize that almost all the weed these days came from the old school strain, Panama red , C.G Alcopolco Gold, and on and on.


Columbian is in almost every hybrid on the market today.


Vietnam ERA VET old school smoke , yet still holds up as one of the best bud , cant go wrong on this


A strain of the 70's, one I will remember for the rest of my life. An intense cerebral high Which made me laugh more than any other strain since then to now.


Was lucky enough to try again Colombian gold after smoking it 50 years ago. Was the best ever smoked back then and again today best I have smoked in 50 years of gourmet cannabis daily smoking. Outdoor grown. There is NO substitute for natural sun. The natural winds on the mountains make it so special. The quality of high is incredibly clean and brilliant. These growers been doing this for generations after generations. The flavors are exquisite


I had this in 1975 from friends at Michigan State University $25 /oz like a blonde color like a girls beautiful blonde hair...with dark or black seeds, nice nugs. I got back from Nam in1969 and that was some of the best weed on this planet. Well, when I tried this it knocked me out,quite literally and every time I smoked it the same ... I have never seen anything like it since....it would be perfect for insomnia. it was only good for sleep, in fact I haven't seen anything now like some of the good weeds of the past.


First tried this in the early 1970's. I remember it being the best Cannabis I'd ever had up to that point. My friend rolled a pinhead joint and after we smoked, we both had the most uncontrollable laughter I've ever seen. I remember it being a very strong head high that lasts a long time.


I'm growing that strain right now and it's absolutely beautiful! I got lucky to have been given some seeds of the original mother strain! Will have to let u still know how that turn out still got a couple weeks left!


I love smoking this bud♥️


Novel Tree in Bellevue WA has landrace Colombian Gold at 24% THC for $100 an ounce. Seriously legit. I am 56 and remember this strain. VAPING SOME AS I WRITE THIS😎


I concur with the other five star reviewers. Loved this stuff in high school. Since it has a primarily sativa terpene profile, I suspect it had an active amount of CBD. Otherwise, it would have gotten me agitated.


This is one of the most iconic strains of all time. Columbian Gold was a staple in High School. Panama Red and this were considered top shelf cannabis. I've even got seeds for this strain I love it so much. It's smooth, paranoia free, a great up high typical of high quality Sativas. If you've never smoked C.G. you don't know what you're missing. If I could only get my hands on it. It's not sold in dispensaries where I live so I guess I'll be growing it.


Enjoy plenty of this in the 70s still probably the best ever out there even compared to today's standards was classic


Oh really?? Past its prime?? Maybe in availability, but not in quality. One of my favorites of all time!! Taste and all!! Spicy, spacey, sexy tropical Colombian weed!! Outdoor grown!! Haven't had any in about 30+ years!! I would give anything to get some now!! The highest grades of Santa Marta gold were scarce, even back then in the 70's, when it was around. But at least it WAS around, even if it was hard to find. No such luck now


Past it's prime no way. marijuana grown by Juan Valdez's younger brother. Properly grown by Farmers, not some half-assed botany major from Canada and cured by guys with tons of experience growing tobacco. Sorry dude the stuff is amazing.


Past it's prime? I don't think so.


The best ever! Love the effect it gives me. Very calm mellow buzz


pain, ptsd, and anxiety are no match for this stuff. no paranoia neither.


This is one of the most reliable strains that deals with the panic and depression typical to PTSD. No need to be concerned about the common side effect of Paranoia common to most saliva. No paranoia with this Energising Uplifting flower. I have never detected a trace of tolerance. Dependable. my # 1


This is super strong bud but is banging tho. If u need pain relief this is it trust...
