Acapulco Gold
4/15/2023
This is one of all time favorite strains, and is one of the two that I regularly treat as a go-to strain, (The other being Panama Red). I almost exclusively smoke sativas, as indicas often leave me in a paranoid ball. Acapulco Gold is one of the "OG" landrace sativas, famed as far back as the 60's. It's the original "Mexican" weed. Light doses of this I find make me feel talkative, social, relaxed (yet energetic), and creative. Higher doses can be almost transcendently euphoric and even psychedelic. I find I want to create and make things, go on hikes, ski and work on projects with this. I've also had some life-changing meditation experiences with the assistance of this. I started meditating many years ago using "Mexican" weed, and I found it was very helpful for getting me in a kind of flow state which was very conducive to meditation. I could sit for hours, and had some extremely profound experiences as a result. Listening to Enya sounds amazing on this. I find it helpful to compare it to Panama Red, (my other go-to), which is another OG landrace sativa. Panama Red is like it's more mellow cousin. When you want to chill on the couch with your friends like in "That 70's Show", and be relaxed, and euphoric, and even aroused and want to make out, but still have plenty of energy and be able to hold a conversation and go do stuff? That's what Panama Red is all about. Acapulco Gold on the other hand, is much more energetic and euphoric, makes you want to talk, hike, do art, make stuff, and have profound experiences. This is a great weed to go skiing with. It is a fantastic experience and I can't recommend it enough.
