I'm from Mexico and the quality of weed is generally bad (short lasting effects, need a few more tokes to equalize the potency of modern strains, have seeds and give headaches and slight hangovers) but they do have very good sativa properties: Always give you the giggles, sort of energetic, very psychedelic. I once came across this strain at a beach in Michoacan, the first time I saw weed without seeds and it was also light brown-golden, very resinous and strong woody smell like licking wood, def. not a bad flavor and an interesting one, it doesn't smell like weed at all. The only Mexican strain that is very long lasting, super spacey, you can't do work with this stuff and use it in a private place or nature, not in the streets since you will look like a mad man, the opposite of clear-headed. It's psychedelic similar to shrooms, you feel echoes in your head, it is super fun and also gives you the giggles big time. Everybody should try this, I've seen that Barney's sell them but I would be really pissed if it was not the same strain and just some imitation, can't tell, I haven't tried it. This strains should become more popular and be mixed with other strains, it surprises me how not popular it is nowadays. This thing is a must!

Unless you are using Barney's Farm genetics for your seeds you are not growing Acapulco Gold. No fem seeds for this cultivator and I love the beautiful green canopy of this plant especially grown outside in an arid environment with a long (and I mean long) growing season. Prepare to spend 7 months growing your AG and you will be pleasantly surprised by the great yield and wonderful product. Very citrus-y smelling and with a 60 day cure you'll have one of the finest smoking blends around for what ails you.

🚀..My cool breeze on this hot Az summer day!..been smoking AG for many years, my fav Sativa then & Now. Soo cerebral I want to create 24/7. A FUN daytime stone, always a great Mood Elavator. Zaps my PTSD & blasts the Chronic Pain, fighting Fatigue. I suggest a try if you want to get High! Bee well, stay cool! 🍦🤒

Alcopolco gold is the slowest creeper. Though when it hits you you ease into it and feel more creative awesome smell too!

Obtained a 1/2 oz of Southern Oregon grown Acapulco Gold. The medium sized sticky buds were light green with yellow hairs and loaded with trichomes. In this case, the new strain from 2016 was better than the old school Acapulco Gold from the 1970s!! My bud was very potent !~ 28% THC, Sativa Dominant with an intense trippy happy high. The taste and high was similar to the 1970s version but better!!! Definitely longer lasting (5+ hours) than the 1970s Acapulco Gold. The hard to obtain 1970s version was grown in Guerrero Mexico and was completely gold in color - it had very few seeds. The high was psychedelic - vivid colors , sativa based and not as intense. However, it was a more enjoyable , social type of high - enhanced communication with friends. In addition, the taste was very smooth and earthy. Both versions were speedy, giggly, and happy. The old version provided a more functional high while the new version was intense, uplifting ,and spiritual. In summary, the new version had a high similar to the old version but was much more intense and overwhelming - it was wonderful. Would buy again ..

I'm 60 years old. I remember what pot was like back in the late 60's and early 70's before the stuff started getting so potent. In my neck of the wood there was Mexican dirt weed readily available, which was a perfectly OK high, and, rarely, Panama Red, Maui Wowie, Kona Gold, and Acapulco Gold. I don't recall if I ever was so fortunate to have tried Acapulco Gold back then but it was revered for good reason, and, after having smoked some either for the first time in 40 some odd years or for the first time ever I can say that it is as good or better than anything else I've tried over the last year after a 28 year hiatus. Definitely potent, no doubt much more so than the 60's AG. I hope the local rec store keeps this in supply.
