Acapulco Gold

Acapulco Gold Strain

Acapulco Gold strain 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. Acapulco Gold strain comes from Acapulco, Mexico, but the exact genetics of the strain is unknown. 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. 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 this flower can have as much as 23% THC.

Acapulco Gold Effects

Users may experience dry mouth and eyes, as well as headaches from using the strain. Mild paranoia and anxiety, have also been reported from users after smoking this 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.

Known to produce an energetic and cerebral high, the plant is distinguishable by its Sativa growth traits, yielding chunky colas that range from dark green to golden brown in color. Acapulco Gold carries an aroma that is similar to burnt toffee, with an earthy, pungent taste upon consumption.
