Acapulco Gold reviews

Another favorite Sativa.

I first smoked this strain in 1970. This was a time when Jimi Hendrix was new. Led Zeppelin and Crosby, Stills & Nash were "Thangs." It was time of turmoil and, for me, being a college student, hippie and…so forth. I smoked dope from 1967 (high school in Iowa) until about 1977. Then I quit, mostly, except for a ceremonial toke or two once in a blue moon, until 2015. As an Portland, Oregon resident I resumed buying pot as mostly a novelty in Vancouver, WA prior to it being fully legalized in Oregon. But, recently retired, I rediscovered the joy of cannabis and became familiar with the newest, best and most powerful strains. But Acapulco Gold was the strain I smoked when I learned to play the guitar and do many other things I might not have imagined as an Iowa-grown boy. It is rare, now. At least in Portland. But I do buy it when I can and I very much love it. It is a sativa strain through and through. For some reason I do not get the "paranoia" factor common in so many sativa strains, played a big part in what led me to stop using cannabis in the 70's. I find Acapulco Gold to be the best strain for music listening. As a sativa, it may not promote a lot of long term attention span, so it is great for sitcom, but not so wonderful in my experience for, like, movies. I no longer smoke; instead I vape. I have a couple of cartridges of A/G that I enjoy sharing when socializing. I think A/G and maybe Durban Poison are the best strains for parties.

For the reviews that are not so impressed or didn't get a great buzz, you DID NOT get the Acapulco GOLD grown for 10 plus weeks that is completely covered in thc, dried and cured properly. It should have a toffee cheesy pungent smell and be so sticky when you break the bud you could peel your fingers.. It is a 3 to 4 hit for even experienced users and has the high sativa with excellent body effects and a euphoria that can't be beat. If you don't get all that, go somewhere else that knows how to grow...

Really enjoyed this strain. It smells and tastes amazing first off. My husband described it as chamomile tea with honey and it reminded me of candy or fruit snacks. Either way it came off sweet, and I think honey actually captures it best. Effects started pretty quick after I vaporized. My mind got pretty crisp and focused and I started getting chatty. I felt like my brain was speeding up but I had no problem keeping up. I could see this being a great daytime choice. I felt a lot of energy and wanted to dance. Sex was enhanced like it always is for me (I always have the heightened arousal effect) then afterwards my husband and I sat down to watch Pineapple Express and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sometimes when I'm high I misunderstand the actors emotions or facial expressions cause I get too overly focused on things, but with this I was able to follow everything perfectly but had great bouts of giggling randomly throughout the movie (doesn't hurt that it's a perfect movie to watch while high of course). By the end of the night I felt ready for bed and fell asleep feeling really great. A perfect cycle I think. Plenty of energy earlier in the night and a very subtle and smooth ride back down which prepares you for a perfect night of sleep. It'll take a few more tries to cement this as a top strain for me, but if it's consistent I'd put it as one of my favorites.

Tastes how bacon smells, and makes me a lie detector and song lyric interpreter.

Good for lifting mood

Don't plan on running a marathon. This is a totally top shelf bud. Will set you way back..enjoy!!

This strain hit well, it just tasted like some serious pepper and burned my nose hairs off and made me cry. Besides that, great high! For a while too!
