Acapulco Gold potency is higher THC than average.
Acapulco Gold is a rare sativa marijuana strain. As one of the most well-known strains, Acapulco Gold has been likened to dinner at a five-star restaurant. This strain produces effects that are motivating and energizing. This strain comes from the area in and around Acapulco, Mexico, and its orange hairs resemble a gold nugget, with gold, green, and brown colors and plenty of resin on the buds. An aroma of burnt toffee lingers when the bud is broken up. Acapulco Gold has a reputation for being one of the best cannabis strains ever created, and it's becoming more difficult to find.

Acapulco Gold strain reviews(859)
I am fairly new to smoking flower, three years. I like to do a wake and bake and have yet to go " Jeezus this is dog poop, I will never smoke this again!" I am not a weed snob. I am not a beer snob, booze snob, destination snob or a coffee snob. I am the fifth kid in an Irish Catholic family. I'm just happy to be included and not get a nugie. I am very open to try new things.
That said.
Acapulco Gold really is smooth. It's like sitting next to a pleasant fire with a hot coffee laced liberally with whiskey, thinking of everything and nothing at all. The kids are asleep. Your spouse is asleep. The dog does not have to go out. The cat has not lauched itself into its nightly reign of terror. The bills are kinda-sorta caught up. No one is sick. The car hasn't shit the bed. The dog hasn't snacked out of the litter box in a week. The cat hasn't thrown up a hairball in two days. The kids are decidedly not the shit heads my siblings were or the asshats his siblings were. They're on the honor roll, play sports and have friends.
The sound of the washing machine churning and the drying turning along with the crackle of the fireplace and for one perfect moment in your chaotic life, everything is pretty f*cking good.
Then the sound a cat horking on the carpet brings you back to reality, you finishing your Acapulco Gold, clean up the gack, decide to vaccuum the entire room, pick up everything in the room and realize the kitchen floor is a wreck, so off it goes to sweep and mop land! Hey, the garbage needs to be emptied, off we go the cans. No one took the cans down this week.. which means no one emptied the upstairs bathrooms...... Oh yes, the cans are full and finding their rooms to be hazardous in daylight, under the cloak of darkness, empty their cans and take out the laundry while they sleep. Two-three productive hours and several piles of laundry later, you finally go to bed, falling asleep instantly.
Taste? Normal. Looking? Typical bright sativa. High? It feels like my head, especially lips, is rubbing to an orange like I am eating a woman's azz. Because of the first generation strains I had from crossing original landraces, it wasn't that good. It made me expect this strain that counts as landrace strain from Mexico to be mild or just clean. Then, I found out that the effects of landrace strains were clean, and now they are not. Because it was just like a Haze strain, but no paranoid but also a good relaxing body pressure with strong buzz in head that spins like buzzsaw or no-signal channel on TV. Also, it has been decades, so I guess taste would also be different. By the way, just from like consecutive three or four tokes I just took 10 minutes ago, I am really getting super tickly buzz with TV no-signal sound in my head so big while my body is just getting a mild soft pressure. I just never expected this to be this good. Whatever this became after genetic changes for decades, this is really good anyway, literally just a Haze strain but no paranoid, I feel, maybe a little bit of a headache from hard head pressure. I'll be honest. I would give like 4.8 to this strain, if I be precise, or maybe 4.9. Literally 5.0 always for there is a thing that can be better. 100% recommend, at least the one from Jonny Chronic. Says 27.5% THC, but they normally bs 'bout it, so let's just say it is likely to be less, but I still feel super high with head stimulation, even though this one doesn't have THCV. Now, a gram of Acapulco Gold will run out in like 2 bowls or less. But I really love this, I want this more. TOP 2, I feel like it is, for now.
This is the very best strain I've ever smoked and everyone I've ever smoked it with agrees. This was back in 98,99 when clubs were still very new and rare when I first smoked Acapulco Gold. The particular batch I smoked from was grown half hydroponic til budding then moved outdoor in Santa Cruz. It was grown, trimmed and cured properly by an old hippie. A lot of people including me thought it was bammer at first glance because of its darker brownish color but boy was it dense and frost bit. When looked at closely it had a gold shine to it esp in the sun. Smelled sweet with a coffee like undertone and a real skunky dank funk to it. Literal 1 hitter quitter that hits instantly. You choke on your first hit because of the expansive thick smoke it gives off wasn't expected. You were not ready at all for this smoke. The high was even better. This bud will make you laugh out of nowhere and everything just seems hilarious. You feel sedated but energetic at the same time. The next thing you know you and all your friends are lost in your own neighborhood and everything seems scripted. You are ONE HIGH ASS MF! I could tell so many hilarious stories of the times I'd introduce this strain to people 🤣 some of them developed accents or completely forgot what day it was to full on hallucinations. I just got a vape for 20 bucks of some accapulco gold and it took about 10 back to back hits to get me to the that level but it worked and is the same exact kind of high. If you see it anywhere, grab it fast because it is rare these days. Top 1 strain in a league of its own
