Acapulco Gold Cannabis Strain

Acapulco Gold Pictures
Favorited

One of the most well-known strains, Acapulco Gold comes to us from the areas in and around Acapulco, Mexico. With gold, green and grown colors of resin collecting on the bud of this plant, it has been likened to dinner at a five-star restaurant. Orange hairs both light and dark are present, resembling a gold nugget. An aroma of burnt toffee becomes apparent when the bud is broken up. 

It has been argued as one of the best strains of cannabis ever created, and is becoming more difficult to find due to more growers moving indoors. There has not been much experimentation with the indoor cultivation of Acapulco Gold.  It is also known to contain approximately 23% of THC.

Instant favorite! Has plenty of gold hairs to go along with the brightly colored bud. Carries a heavy tropical smell and taste. Very fast kick in and lasts more than 2 hours. Nice and smooth pleasant high, very uplifting great to try with friends. Without a doubt on my re-smoke list.

First time I ever smoked this stuff. It's an automatic favorite. Nice floaty cerebral high, good body high too. This strain I have is more indica than sativa. Appearance is great, nice pretty crystals all over the buds. Pretty dense, not light. Makes me want to write, and makes me happy, so this stuff is great.

Had this for the first time yesterday. Smoked a pipe while making som cannabutter with some. Pipe was a very heady, borderline psychedelic old school smoke. Imagine being in the Yellow Submarine clip by the Beatles. Once it wore off (long stone - about 90 min of mindf**king) we ate a brownie each made from the cannabutter mentioned earlier. Made using 1/4oz weed, 175g butter into 16 brownies this stuff was killer. Much more psychedelic and much less cerebral made these things brilliant. Too much for the wife though, she put herself to sleep as the effects were too strong. I am in love with this weed.

Pretty good. Took a few hits from the bong at my homies place, had me feeling good till I go home about 40ish minutes later. Defiantly a good strain.

I dont come across Acapulco a lot but im glad I did this time. Not as much of a sativa high but it did get my creative juices flowin to record a track. Very slight scent of pine with a strong stone. Alls i needed was half of a bowl to fall asleep for the night. Wish I had some pictures for this review. :/

This strain is great for tapping into my creative, analytical and motivational senses. It surprised me with an unexpected pick up or boost to get things done. As an artist, times of stress..can bring down a heavy opaque wall for me...like a mind dullness or a creative mental block. Some hybrid strains, for me are very unpredictable. I'll daydream...have great ideas...but stay too mellow...and it's all good...except too mellow at times prevents me from getting projects done and I end up less determined. Sorry for rambling. Bottom line...I wish Acapulco Gold was more available to me. Around my way it's hard to find. The local co-op tells me it comes in rarely and goes fast (bummer). The last time we had Acapulco was over the 2011 Halloween weekend...by chance a friend from Hawaii was visiting and he was generously smoking us out. Thanks Jarah! I got all my props done.

Smoked a joint between three close friends and myself. Body high was really intense. But I sat myself down in front of a piano and started playing shit in keys I had never tried or even thought of before. I'm not sure if that counts as creativity or luck, but it was really cool to experience as an artist. Try it once, no need to try it again.

Very cool high. It gets me really talkative and interested in details. When I watch TV or movies with this strain, I get really confused about plots because I overthink them. It really helps me relax and just feel good about where I'm at in life. Strongly recommend if you haven't checked it out.

Very pleasant high. It'll get you thinking very intently about the simplest things. When I smoke this I get really confused about the plots of TV shows or movies that I watch.... Still, it's incredibly enjoyable and just makes you feel good and happy.
