No wonder this is a legendary strain. I remember having the rare opportunity to smoke this holy grail bud over 30 years ago and to say the least best buzz on the planet. Over 30 years later the legend stays true! Very pleasant subtle draw. Smooth on the exhale. Taste is like, for lack of better a burnt hay and light smokey toffee hints. Hits the head first and bit heavy with a few minutes of "Ok, just maintain"! After that it is happy, and euphoric with racing thoughts and some time warps here and there. Loving the body hit and the pain relief is there, oh yes it is there! Love this. Wish I would have bought more than one gram. It will always be on my search list!!! Thank you Cheech and Chong!!!

Finding Acapulco Gold at my local dispensary (on sale, to boot!) was a treat. Took me back to my original high-school buzzes of the late 1960s-early 1970s, with giggles at the slightest provocation, and munchies for anything and everything in the kitchen. A really fun strain.

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. .

It was 1983 when I was first introduced to this wonderful strain. It is a true Sativa in every sense of the strain. The first time I enjoyed it “83” I went and played frisbee golf and it was amazing. Now all these years later, I found some and remember why I love this strain. Wonderful smell, buds were sticky , fluffy, and broke up nice. Smoke was smooth and expansive and effects were almost immediate. Amazing head high, no paranoia and everything I remember. Enjoy!!

I have tasted the original (OK you got me. I am in my late ‘60s) and this is it. I don’t know how it was kept for so long but I thank the stars every time I am able to find this,— bow down to that person or persons (in the 60s we would’ve said “head” or “freaks”) You knew how important this would be. I know it sounds like I’m nostalgic — indeed I am! It brings back scents and tactle memories and frankly,The war in Vietnam... Well, things that I don’t really need need to explain to you It’s time for you enjoy it, young folks, and know that this is what we do reveled in when the normal price for an ounce was 12 bucks and it had to be at least three fingers in width. Nuff from me 🍄🐲🐉 Peace love and pot smoke

Okay, I am a bit of a n00b. But wow. This makes me (1) want to boop my own nose and (2) want to meet this holy diver than can ride tigers. Sweet and floral like a spring day minus the sneezing.

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.
