This is one of all time favorite strains, and is one of the two that I regularly treat as a go-to strain, (The other being Panama Red). I almost exclusively smoke sativas, as indicas often leave me in a paranoid ball. Acapulco Gold is one of the "OG" landrace sativas, famed as far back as the 60's. It's the original "Mexican" weed. Light doses of this I find make me feel talkative, social, relaxed (yet energetic), and creative. Higher doses can be almost transcendently euphoric and even psychedelic. I find I want to create and make things, go on hikes, ski and work on projects with this. I've also had some life-changing meditation experiences with the assistance of this. I started meditating many years ago using "Mexican" weed, and I found it was very helpful for getting me in a kind of flow state which was very conducive to meditation. I could sit for hours, and had some extremely profound experiences as a result. Listening to Enya sounds amazing on this. I find it helpful to compare it to Panama Red, (my other go-to), which is another OG landrace sativa. Panama Red is like it's more mellow cousin. When you want to chill on the couch with your friends like in "That 70's Show", and be relaxed, and euphoric, and even aroused and want to make out, but still have plenty of energy and be able to hold a conversation and go do stuff? That's what Panama Red is all about. Acapulco Gold on the other hand, is much more energetic and euphoric, makes you want to talk, hike, do art, make stuff, and have profound experiences. This is a great weed to go skiing with. It is a fantastic experience and I can't recommend it enough.

All time fave satisfy that is truly as rare as gold to find, at least in NYC. Perfect daytime smoker! All uplifting energy with no haze or anxiety. Just good vibes. Read The Smoke Off by Shel Silverstein for a name drop (and a great weed poem).

This and Maui Wowie are the GOATs of the Sativa family, 2 completely different tastes and highs but to me my A.G hits like an Indica. Straight GAS, very unique taste. Like tea almost.

Blessed to have found this while searching dispos up in Washington for classic sativas. Super floral taste, with a spicy punch. Very cerebral and uplifting high. it just has a feeling and taste combo of what weed really was meant to be like. A refreshing smoke compared to most of the indoor Indica dominant strains. It’s almost reminiscent of some of the 2000-10s cartel weed near Mexico (clearly not the same bad quality). But it was almost like hitting a Time Machine of nostalgic flavors but actually good this time. It definitely fulfills the hype and it makes you wonder if the old heads were always right about old strains being better

I'm 63, had it in my late teens @45 years ago haven't seen it since. Heard about it at Lawrenceville NJ dispensary , but missed it!! The best flower I ever had! It would expand in your chest and hit you like a ton of bricks! You almost always took to much and coughed your brains out! It was gold in color and really sticky. Really sticky!! Had a great flavor , very pungent ,sweet, distinct flavor that you will never forget! There is no mistaking what your smoking when you do!!! That's how I know I haven't had it since! I'm sure the weed wasn't as strong back then, but I truly would pay top dollar for it , EVEN IF IT DIDN'T GET YOU RIPPED!! I don't know any higher form of compliment!! KEEP THE STRAIN ALIVE!!!!
