Strain Name: Acapulco Gold (AG)
Grade: A+
Type: Hybrid Indica Dominant
Looks: Very nice to the eye, Pale green with a hue of yellow , Orange hairs both light and dark are present, looks like a orange and gold nugget, with patchy crystals (the pic dose it no justice)
Smell: Very mild as a whole nugget with hints of saffron and butter scotch. Once you break the bud up though the smell of burnt toffee becomes dominant.
Taste: Wow can we say spicy, this bud has a tone of spice to it with nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger being the strongest. Very smooth the taste of nutmeg stays with you for a few moments.
Effects: Are very nice and immediate, you get very relaxed, and a little heavy eyed, (not for the rooks)I found that I did not feel a lot of pain I also feel this is great for spasm, and any one who needs to get some sleep.
Potency: 2 to 2.5
Area: MI (Import C.A.)

This is the problem with reviews like this, anybody can review, even those that do not know what they are talking about. Real Acapulco Gold, is and will always be a pure Sativa, or it is not really Alapulco Gold.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:

they got the original from the **clone** So, at *attitude seed bank* I am pretty sure that it would be the one that you speak of.
i have always loved sativa’s. I use a toke or five in the morning and then at night a couple of tokes of *girl scout cookies* and my days are going much better. I am not haveing to take three 30mg morphine daily(I have it down to one and one half), I do not have to take three of the xanax 1mg or the 7.5 loritab(breakthru pain when I am a having *one of those days”)

I grew AG many years ago ─ a smallish slim-leaved plant with a conical shape it flowered profusely!
Pistils were large and very white, as if it had snowed, and some way into flower the pistils became a very pretty golden colour . . .
The aroma was musky, complex and mysterious and the high practically instantaneous!
It didn’t have the large trichomes of skunk hybrids but what there was smelled delicious!
A feature of the high was a sudden dizzying feeling of one’s head flying off one’s shoulders!
This effect hit my wife and I simultaneously so that we cried out “whoops” in unison!
I’ve learned to dislike the penetrating odour of afghani polluted sativas . . .

Where can I find this in Detroit?

Whatever you got wasn’t AG ─ the real thing is a cerebral sativa without *any* couchlock effect whatever!

I always manage to have some Acapulco Gold just in-case for those Rainy Days. Manages to get me through the entire day. This is a Cali Classic if you ask me :)

This shit made me feel great until time for coming down. I fell fast asleep after a few hours. Im pretty new to this review shit, so I’m in CO and Ive heard that we get a lot of great stuff over here, but when I think about it, what’s the difference? When I smoke i notice a difference in bud, but are there really 100′s of strains and blends and shit. This really blows my mind. Im a woman and think the sativa’s mellow me out rather than speed me up. Ive noticed that with other women. Is there a possible difference in the effects between men and women? Oh,and yes, i smoked this just a few min….

AG batch last year ranked as one of the best medicines in my time. Strain deserves to be more widely available and its genetics to be revered.
Stuff was shimmering gold all over, challenged to find any green whatever. Golden/blonde/gold-brown shaggy hair. SUPER fluffy and airy. Nugs were stuck together enough to require manicuring with scissors, AND it put to shame both grinders. At one point, I recall compressing an ounce in plastic, rolling it into a ball, and having it glued stiff to the tare.
Strangely, the smell was just regular ol’ dope. Taste notes were spicy, peppery, nutmeg, maybe even cayenne. Vapors seemed kind of harsh. Should I use lower temp than usual for her? Perhaps related to the hot n spicy flavor, too.
Effects were very friendly, happy, and social. 100% head, and good for it. Impossible to resist feeling blissful, not good for objectivity, “happy stoner.” My only complaint–and it is minor–is the duration 1-2hrs.
9.5 / 10 ….. legendary strain, requires expertise in cultivating to do it justice. Imported from CO last spring/summer, pro-grow

IS YOUR THE BARNEYS FARM SEED??? THAT IS WHAT I RECIEVED FROM ATTITUDE SEED BANK AND THEY GAVE ME A FREEBIE OG KUSH FROM RESERVA PREVADA THAT DID NOT DO CRAP… I STILL HAVE THE BARNEY’S FARM *ALCOPULCO GOLD* SUPPOSED TO BE 23%THC AND LOW ON CBD AND CBL SO, I BET IT TURNS OUT TO BE THAT WONDERFULL TASTY NUGS THAT LAST FOR HOURS INSTEAD OF AN HOUR AND A HALF. MAYBE IF I ONLY TOOK ONE PUFF OR SOMETHING. BUT, TO GET OFF OF ALL OF THESE PHARMEDS THAT I AM SEMINGLY HOPELESSLY ADDICTED TO. I HAVE TO HAVE MY SATIVA OF THE MORN AND MY INDICA OR INDICA CROSS OF THE EVENING… PLEASE, KEEP AN OLD MAN IN MIND AND EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE EXTRAS FOR THE RIGHT PRICE, PLEASE???
