Acapulco Gold reviews
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.
Finally found a strain for excellent day time use, as far as staying grounded only Jack H, comes even close. Now I’ve smoked both flower, and live resin. There is a difference, but it’s not negative at all. Now with flower it’s way more subdued, and then ramps up to a pleasant body high, and functional if not sorta creative (I am an artist). Now the live resin bits like a freight train ! It’s a concentrate so the potency is in your face. I don’t like to use THC levels as flower; to resin is just not apples to apples. So the equal factors; same taste, same lung expansion, same mostly being motivated to do stuff you never done before. Positives, it’s the same damn thing.
Negatives, flower is mellow and gradual to full effect, live resin is a punch to the head, and body, and it’s easy to dab to much.
Overall, wow it doesn’t come much better. Seriously there’s not a crazy amount of difference, but for how quickly one hits, and the coming up stage.
I’d highly recommend either flower or, concentrate. Just be careful not to over do it too fast. For my Sativa strains this is in my top 3.
AN AMAZING CHORE DAY STRAIN.
My dispensary saw me browsing and suggested this AC flower to me. More so that it was new to the store and on sale, and they heard it was good too. Got it for the hell of it.
You can baaaarely notice you've got a high going on. I thought it was just a weaker strain at first. The next two days of smoking it I rearranged and cleaned up my room and other spaces and did a lot of things I put off for a long time. Didn't feel like anything was 'too much trouble to get to' which is what kept be to getting to these things for so long. I just kept going at it.
I wasn't sure why, I was on my period so by all accounts I shoulda just been curled up in bed.
I thought maybe it was this strain so I looked it up and sure enough, it seems to be the case with others too. Never had a strain make me SO FUNCTIONAL lol
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.
The budtender described it to me as "the strain for when you want to get up and do stuff." That was very accurate. I struggle with pain and fatigue, and sometimes folding laundry is too much for me to handle. Not only did I fold and put away laundry, but I actually felt like dancing and singing to the music I was listening to. And that doesn't even touch on the mental peace I feel from this strain. I feel so clear-headed and focused. Usually, my mind is all over the place, and I deal with feeling things very intensely. I feel like I can actually tune out all the white noise in my brain, and I feel much more grounded.
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
Got some pre-rolls from Grooby, including this strain. Grew up in the 70’s and had of course heard of it, but never had anything but crap weed. So I was anxious to try it. So maybe I’m biased now. I like the relaxation. I feel calm yet focused. Might expose myself to some new music and see if enjoyable. Will try it again.
Picked up a Roll One brand disposable of Acapulo because I'm familiar with the brand and have liked some of their other products. My wife and I both called it "baby weed" for a minute, because even with a near 10 second pull it felt like a light hit. Maybe a dud? I went out for a replacement when we made it about half-way through the gram. A little dab and now I feel like cleaning my whole house. Keeping the stars at 4 because come on RO...for $35, I shouldn't have had to do that and others shouldn't either. I know it's not the strains fault now, but gotta let the people know.
