This famous sativa-dominant hybrid, which has an 80:20 sativa/indica ratio, combines a powerful head high with a soothing body high that last for at least two hours. Acapulco Gold originated in Acapulco, Mexico, but no one seems to remember who first grew it or what parent strains were used. Acapulco Gold is pretty hard to find because it’s difficult to grow indoors, but it’s popular throughout the United States, especially in warmer climes. It’s best used to treat anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, but it’s also good for insomnia and headaches, as well as some mental disorders. This strain can be especially powerful, with THC levels as high as 24-26%. It has a distinct earthy flavour and aroma, with a taste of chestnut and tealeaves. As with most strains, the most likely adverse effects are dry eyes and dry mouth. Paranoia and dizziness are also possible but less common. Acapulco Gold is most popular in the Western United States, the Upper Midwest, and the desert Southwest. It often costs more than other strains because of its potency and the beautiful gold-tinged appearance of its bud.

Simply amazing. Perfect during the day or as a wake n bake. A good AG is the definition of good loud shit. Very uplifting

I’m 28 and this strain hit exactly how I hoped it would. Smooth smoke, mellow onset, and a really balanced high. Didn’t feel too heavy or too weak — just right for relaxing after a long day.

I tried this after a long day and it did exactly what I needed. The high came on smooth and didn’t feel overwhelming at all. I felt relaxed but still clear-headed enough to enjoy whatever I was doing. Definitely something I’d come back to.

I could walk, talk, eat, sleep, was drinking more water, working harder, being more social.
