I'm 63, had it in my late teens @45 years ago haven't seen it since. Heard about it at Lawrenceville NJ dispensary , but missed it!! The best flower I ever had! It would expand in your chest and hit you like a ton of bricks! You almost always took to much and coughed your brains out! It was gold in color and really sticky. Really sticky!! Had a great flavor , very pungent ,sweet, distinct flavor that you will never forget! There is no mistaking what your smoking when you do!!! That's how I know I haven't had it since! I'm sure the weed wasn't as strong back then, but I truly would pay top dollar for it , EVEN IF IT DIDN'T GET YOU RIPPED!! I don't know any higher form of compliment!! KEEP THE STRAIN ALIVE!!!!
Back in the day, talking about the early 70s. It was the best around period.
Acapulco Gold is awesome!! Much better for me then some other Sativa strains that tend to make me feel anxious. It's the perfect remedy for getting out of your head and erase anxiety after just a couple of puffs. Highly recommend for social situations, listening to music, hanging out with friends or watching T.V.
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 ..
FANTASTIC! Definitely in my top 3 strains I've tried so far. Incredible cerebral high with a feeling of euphoria. This helped my pain and made me happy, so you can't beat that combo. I have a high tolerance, so when they told me to be careful because it's very strong I just brushed it off. THEY WERE RIGHT!! Holy smokes is this stuff strong! It will make you pretty dizzy if you overdo it so be careful. Unfortunately I was only lucky enough to buy this once, but I'll be on the lookout to grab it up next chance I get. You should definitely give it a try if you're lucky enough to find some.
My favorite strain! Makes me feel super confident, positive and happy! Make sure you have water around you.
My first bud in '84, still the best, spicy, earthy, very heady happy higggghhh...5/5
Makes me feel like honey, that’s the best way I can describe it
