I really like this strain it’s relaxing and euphoric but gets you really high and fixes a lot of physical symptoms ie pain nausea and mental ie depression anxiety stress, and it’s best as a concentrate in my opinion! Love it.

This is one of my favourite strains...got this at my local dispensary for $60 a half O. I smoke this one in the day to stay productive and not feel tired or groggy during or after I vape it. It’s got a nice earthy taste that goes down smooth.

Looking for a sativa? This was full on a classic epic flower that made me and someone else say, "that's a sativa". I say classic because it had a strong pungent sweet lemon pine slightly skunky smell. Tight and full sticky semi dark green fading to light green buds with wet transparent trich covering up to sprawling dark orange hairs with a few short dark green compact leafs. Smoke was heavy upon inhaling and expanded immediately in my chest with a tingle in my lungs. Exhale was sweet lemon and skunk with a cough beginning at the end of exhaling. Cough lasted long and hard leaving my eyes watering body convulsing chills hot flash goosebumps (whoa!) I hadn't cough like that since back in the day!!! As coughing subsided I felt a jolt of energy and focus. Immediately after, I feel very euphoric and happy. My body felt lighter and pumped. There was a light tingle in my eyes and forehead. I felt like doing activities but only ones that I enjoyed. A nice euphoria lasted for more than an hour. The come down was awkward because coming from such a beautiful place in the mind back to normal isn't easy.

Acapulco Gold concentrate was recommended to me by my dispensary. I was looking for a Sativa to balance the (Hash Plant). Happy 😃. This will work! I’ve developed a new fondness for Sativa (creativity). This strain positively enhances your mood. The lineage speaks for itself. Another satisfied consumer reporting. I’ll be adding this as my go to Sativa considering availability. Purity, Clarity, Uplifting, Focus, and Lucid. .

Speaking from a purely subjective experience, I would not recommend this strain if you are sensitive to sativas and high THC content, however if you can handle that kind of strain I imagine it would be phenomenal. I normally go for hybrids or indicas with high CBD ratios to deal with stress, poor sleep, and anxiety. However, feeling experimental, I decided to test out a particular strain of Acapulco Gold that my go to dispensary was selling, which boasted a 9%THC to 13%CBD rating. After a mildy strenuous four hour hike I decided to mix a pretty small amount with tobacco and the result was about a 3 hour trip through one of the worst anxiety attacks I've ever experienced. I was in full panic mode; sweaty palms, dizzy, lightheaded, tense, fast heartbeat, shallow breathing, fear of passing out, and more. I began feeling feverish and eventually fell asleep for three hours with what felt like intermittent sleep apnea only to wake up with a pounding headache. Consindering some variables, I do experience some of these effects occasionally without smoking, and hiking before hand was probably exhausting, so my conclusion is that this particular strain I tried just heightened everything to it's max (both the good and bad). I'd highly recommend it to someone experienced who enjoys a long and heightened recreational sativa high. But my body chemistry just didn't handle it well. I guess I'll just have to stick to high cbd strains.

Made me a bit more energetic and happy, but nothing like Sour Diesel, Purple Diesel or even Quantum Kush.

This is currently my favorite landrace strain, and probably my favorite Sativa. My dad's generation always talked up Acapulco, but until moving to Tucson I dismissed it as Cheech & Chong nostalgic B.S. No more. This is the only strain I've sampled that is truly a golden color, with practically no green, purple, or orange. It is one of (if not the only) sativa that is not at all anxiolytic. The THC content is not overwhelming compared to something like G.C. or Alaskan, but that's a good thing if you plan to go out in public. Euphoria is the defining mental characteristic. This strain helps me with depression at least as well as Cherry Pie or Bubblegum. With overtones of toffee and mocha, this is the perfect morning smoke. I've sampled a lot and this is has remained one of my top 5 desert island strains without question. This is no hipe; this is real gold.
