One word to say it all "amazing"
I only smoked half of a joint and I'm toast. this is an amazing strain with hard to describe flavors and smells but all are pleasant and sweet. I feel motivated, focused, cheerful, relaxed and incredibly mellow. this strain is definitely a 5 star strain that lives up to its sativa genetics and provides similar effects to sour diesel. highly recommend if you need a little pick me up, a wake n bake sesh or just want to relax at the end of a long day, this is the perfect strain for you
I personally love this strain. Been fortunate to have it the two times I have. Now that Oklahoma has medical I'm hoping for an emergence of great, classic strains/ landrace strains. AC is great for stress, anxiety, pain, and depression.
Feel good high. Love it.
Picked up 3.5g of this by Jonny Chronic (Canadian producer) and I was blown away. Ticks all the boxes. Looks like gold nuggets with a light brownish green tinge. Spongey yet not wet. Tasted very much like herbal with pine and pepper. The smell was incredible. Herbal, spicy, sweet with a bit of skunk and toffee or caramel. I could not stop smelling it, I had my nose in the bag all night.
I generally prefer Indicas and like my Sativas quite weak in strength, so this being 23% I was a bit nervous I would be paranoid. Not a bit. Very energetic, focused, euphoric, yet mellow in the body. Not racey or paranoid, just bliss.
This is a legacy strain I have always hoped to try and it did not disappoint. If you live in Canada and can find it, buy it. 10/10. Top 3 best cannabis I have ever smoked.
I bought this due to the Cheech and Chong association; however, it is always at the top of the price point, and the effects (for me) were average at best....Normally I'll give the mediocre strains 3/5, but due to the inflated price of this strain, I'm rating it a 2 star
Never really been a sari a smoker but a nice joint of this will have you ready to start the day and will leave your head clear after the high is gone. Really a top shelf strain here
I've been smoking for 55 years (I'm 70). Acapulco Gold was the second strain I purchased, the first being an unnamed Mexican. I can't describe how golden the buds were, like a sunset filtered by the righty light. Weed commonly sold for $10/oz where I lived and when the rumored Acapulco Gold actually did hit town it went for 50% more, at $15/oz. A lot of smokers I knew were skeptical of it based because A), the hype and/or price, and B) nobody there had ever seen or smoked it before. It was jus that rare in the Midwest.
I was flush that week and wanted to try see what it was all about. The buds sparkled in the moonlight when I met the seller, a friend (the most common way then). We smoked a joint--and I immediately knew it was worth the price. It was night but I felt pretty energetic. It smoked nicely, smooth, well-cured and came on apace, I should have stopped sooner than I did. It was most definitely "bad ass weed."
I smoked that ounce way to quick; I wanted to share its goodness with friends. And by then it had disappeared from our area, and I've only come across it a few times in the 50+ years since then. When I do I get goofy and buy as much as I can (practically) afford. Yesterday was my social security payday and I found it listed online at the two stores I buy my monthly supp]y of hash oil and found this legendary strain at both stores. I live in Washington state where there's a 21+ legal cannabis store every few blocks, it seems, and even here it is hard to find. I went on a spree and bought 5 grams of it out of 14 grams of oil in total. I didn't intend to buy as much but got carried away when I saw it. I should have bought more, hid some of it in the back of my dab oil-only desktop 'fridge, and saved it for a rainy day, it is that good. Instead I'm smoking it right now; I can't help it. It is like a day spent in the early '70s, trippin' along with friends.
