Acapulco Gold Strain Information:
Acapulco Gold is a Sativa-dominant hybrid known for the golden hue of its green and or brownish buds. This old strain is said to produce a powerful cerebral high that raises one’s mood without producing overpowering feelings of happiness. Instead, the cerebral high mixes with a calming body high for a relaxing experience. Mild paranoia and anxiety have also been reported. Users may experience dry mouth and eyes as well as headaches from using the strain.
Sufferers of disorders such as General Anxiety Disorder or PTSD use this strain to find relief from stress and anxiety. Those dealing with depression use it to lift their mood. The body high can also relieve chronic aches and pains.
Acapulco Gold comes from Acapulco, Mexico, but the exact genetics of the strain are unknown. Traditionally, this strain was grown outdoors. Growing it indoors is still proving to be tricky for producers as there are no clear guidelines on how to do it. This makes the strain harder to find as more growers move their operations inside. When grown indoors, the strain flowers for 70-75 days. Outdoors, plants are ready for harvest by mid-October. There have been reports of yields up to 500 grams per square meter. Tests have shown that Acapulco Gold plants can have as much as 23% THC.

I really like Acapulco Gold! It’s one of my favorite strains ever! I like to smoke it in the afternoon after I’ve finished my daily chores. It gives me a clear high and helps me recenter. When I smoke this strain, I like to watch a movie or go for a walk and enjoy the views.

This is a good strain for relaxing in a social environment. Good to chill with friends without feeling too buzzed. I found it’s effects didn’t last long though. Burns smooth.

AG is one of the oldest strains in the book. It’s got a smooth taste of pine and citrus, it’s easy on the lungs. It’s a great cerebral high. This strain isn’t for newbies for if you smoke too much, you have paranoia , anxiety and stupidity and an eventual ease and focus usually prevails.
