Acapulco Gold Marijuana Strain

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.

this is a really nice strain, though i'll want to try it from a different dispo in the future since i suspect mine wasn't the best representative. can definitely see it being amazing for edibles like was said below—when i've smoked it the strongest smell that comes across is actually coffee. legit "photorealistic scent" like they say on fragrantica lol, with just a hint of the toffee people mention. i don't get that at all out of the flowers themselves—more pine-y, kombucha scent. mine were not super golden like some of the photos i've seen, but had a bit of amber on them, and also left a crazy amount of trichomes in my grinder. effect is a pretty solid sativa high, though not all that complex. good for energy and sociality, delivered less on focus and cerebral qualities. only thing is when i put out a joint to save for later, i got this super strong ammonia scent. absolute cat piss, and stank up my room—started rolling smaller joints just so that i wouldn't have to get that smell lingering as much. another strain i'd gotten from this dispo also had a similar problem (though to a much lesser extent), so i suspect that it might have been old or not stored properly. it wasn't so bad that i stopped smoking it altogether, but maybe try and get this one from your tried and true sources, lol.

Best smoke ever. I'm 77 y, and have tried them all. Best for pain arthritis depression calming and relaxing wo getting tired.

One of the best strains for all day use. Happy, and focused.

Good anytime bud. This one hits all my happy places and gets the head right. Calm happy, cerebral high and arousal comes easy. Very few strains tick all my boxes like this one. If I could only have one strain it would be Acapulco Gold.

I remember this stuff from when my mom would come back from her cruises from S.America.. Great stuff back then, looks good in the video now. But where can I score some seedlings or seeds ??

One plant and it was 6 ft tall and almost the same in diameter outside. Got half elbow of almost all colas 7-13 grams each. Sweetest bud you could imagine. Peppery and a slight taste of tea leaves and hash. Really gummy so it would be good for pressing oil. The smoke couldn't be better

Nice strain for the daytime hours. Lifted, clear and focused. 70s throwback strain at 19%THC is decent.

I am 62 today.But my mom and uncle were selling weed in the late 1970's I told my mom I wanted to grow some Acapulco Gold and I wanted to get ahold of some seeds. couple weeks passed It was almost the end of summer 1976 and I had just gotten my wisdom teeth pulled so the others had room to move, My face was very swollen. My mom knocked on my bedroom door and handed me 2 5 finger baggies of weed,, but it looked like solid fuzzy gold. The hairs were a reddish gold color and very long. there were crystals on the hairs, the buds were full and rich looking. I had a 2 person party bong It held a 1/4 oz in the glass bowl. I was so stoned, dude I forgot I had a face.

Damn, this is the Sativa I've been looking for! I'm usually an indica or hybrid kinda person, but Acapulco Gold has everything to love about the uplifting effects of sativas, with none of the undesirable side effects (anxiety, intrusive thoughts). I'm using a .5g cart by Bungie Bros, and it helps me focus, streamlines my thought process, and keeps me out of the doldrums, would highly recommend for fellow autistics and those with ADHD. The arousal effects don't start to hit unless you smoke a lot in a short period of time, more of a slight tingle that would be pleasant if acted upon but will not distract you if it isn't your M.O. As for taste, there is a somewhat Pine-Sol like taste on inhale, but the exhale strongly smells of Fruity Pebbles cereal.
