Five Stars!! This strain is rare now probably because we smoked it all in the 70’s. For most of us it can be blamed on a Cheech n Chong commercial,the jingle put a friend and I on a quest and DAMMIT MAN it was the bomb!!

Alcapulco Gold in my oppinion is a Good strain but best grown indoors nurtured with starting the seeds in fish emulsion a fed 5 5 5 manure tea during vegitative growth then finished with either Fox Farm organic bloom formula or fruit of the Gods organic formula and use 1000 watt HPS lights to grow this strain and finish with a red LED lamp to bake the plants a little longer for a late harvest giving this strain a more skunky smell. The smoke of this strain varies alot from an outdoor grown cannabis flower which has a light herbal taste and some what hay pot smell but a relativley good high when smoked in a joint. If you are smoking indoor grown cannabis a standard pipe or water pipe has the best taste and a much higher effect on me. I notice this strain outdoor produces a nice well rounded smoke around 20% THC but indoors grown to it's max potential ends up a great high around 33.74% but I have never grown this one indoors I just bought some instead. I grew this strain in Oakland California one time and never made it back to harvest or taste the product back in 2014 but my relatives who did smoke it called it hemp. I do like Alcapulco Gold around Oregon alot of shops carry it but usually temporarily as the strain sells out pretty quickly. Since I see this strain come and go every year I bought two oz of the 33.74% Alcapulco Gold to share with my friends and family as Soon as I could Get it Thank You S&S Emporium of Coos Bay Oregon I Love You Guys! The taste of the one from S&S Emporium is rich and earthy but skunky in its thick resin taste. This strain when grown to such extreme proportions to produce a 33.74% THC specimen hits like a 1980's organic indoor skunk number one without the couch lock effect. To rate the outdoor I would give it a 5 out of 10 rating but the indoor high THC variety of alcapulco Gold I would give it a 9 out of 10 rating. The third version I tried of Alcapulco Gold was very nice as well which was from Kmade Alcapulco Gold From Hebal Choices in Reedsport Oregon 22.55% THC has a light arm pit smell or skunky aroma and has a nice uplifting high to it even after just one puff slow and deeply inhaled and slowly exhaled where as the other Alcapulco Gold was far to powerful to hold the hit in long enough to not be just floored by its high. The Kmade Alcapulco Gold hit me like a nice white widow strain a nice starting high that started to play with my mind a little bit making it easy to get on line and just read all the interesting stuff I have been putting off due to working long hours. This strain tends to get rid of my tired attitude. If you work at a cannabis shop this may make a great wake and bake smoke for you as it is motivating and will keep you talking. This strain is best when it is dried and cured a little longer. At first once you have hung and dried this strain you may notice it smells like hay and flowers from outdoor but if you trim it extra good and avoid touching it to much and let it dry and then cure for about a month and burp the jar at least once a day your cannabis should suprise you in it's alluring smell. If your growing this strain to smoke out doors I would stick with smoking the occasional joint of it to get high as trying to take bong rips of this makes me taste a sort of banana after tastes which turns me off where a joint tastes kinda nice and earthy. The Karmic elevations version of this strain I got from S&S Emporium has a sort of play dough smell to it with a hint of skunk and cinnamon smell to it with a Great over all high but the Kmade version sold by Herbal Choices had the easier going high care free really happy go lucky even feeling. The difference of the two is remarkable the Kmade version has a real white appearance where as the Karmic Elevations has a really Golden hue to it. I'm not sure which high I like more the Karmic version reminds me of skunk number one in its heavily baked rusted on the vine appearance and deep high or the Kmade version that has the best initial high in other words was the best if I could only take one puff the high from the Kmade version was extra special like a good white widow gets you high and puts my mind at ease but the Karmic Elevations Version got me alot more stoned and both don't cause me any anxiety. I would have to say the Kmade verion is the best to smoke by yourself while the Karmic version is more to share among friends as I have a hard time finishing a bowl by my self in one sitting. The best taste, high and bag appeal and smell of Alcapulco gold strain that I have tried was the Lacroix Family Alcapulco Gold Organic indoor from Vermont. The appearance is a pale golden colored bud peppered in dusty crystals and the taste of the smoke like chocolate and cinnamon orchata after one puff your high after two puffs your stoned after three puffs your appearance changes you show bags under your eyes and your eyes start to get closed a little bit and I start feeling very playful with a nonstop smile. I really enjoy both the Kmade version Alcapulco Gold for its uplifting effect and the Karmic Elevations get me stoned to the bone effect but my favorite one has Got to be the Lacroix version of Alcapulco Gold. I will however keep trying different versions and give a new review of the new ones I find at a later date thank you for reading!

The clearest head high I’ve ever felt. I’d drink this with a cup of hot cocoa or a mocha hazelnut coffee!

Since I was a teen in the 70’s this is an old favorite and a 5 star smoke all day everyday ! If you want something to lift your spirits and make you feel creative and happy, this is definitely one of the best Sativa’s ever.

I have heard of this strain my entire life and am well aware of the hype around it . I had street weed and you never really know if you’re getting what they’re claiming. I finally found it at Cox Blythe Dispensary and had to try it , even though I was skeptical that it would impress me since it was barely 20%. I have to say it reminded me of my early days when I first got introduced to good cannabis. It has a feel good high and while calming my mind just enough to really focus and troubleshoot without the cloudiness of some strains. I will definitely be getting another batch . The flavor to me was almost like a fruity tobacco taste with a little spicy essence in the back of the throat. Very mellow smoke and loose sticky buds.

I don't write reviews. I love Marijuana and I just tried this strain and I don't want to smoke anything else. It's good enough to write a review. Have fun out there and God bless this strain. I was watching the reflection of the sun off the lake water and it had my brain tingling.

Love this stuff. Me and my wifey sat and watched wrestling while joking and giggling. Have had a bad past year but it helps us to cut loose and enjoy life and each other for that moment. I very HIGHLY recommend.
