Acapulco Gold

Acapulco Gold is a golden relic of cannabis history. Born in the sun-drenched highlands of Guerrero, Mexico, and revered since the 1960s, this legendary sativa-dominant cultivar offers a euphoric clarity that’s as rare as the golden hues lacing its dense, resinous buds. With a rich, peppery citrus aroma and a smooth, earthy finish,

Acapulco Gold delivers a clean, uplifting high once described as “mind-blowing” by the connoisseurs who smuggled it coast to coast. At Glacial Valley, we’ve revived this elusive landrace with meticulous indoor precision — preserving its tropical terpene profile, enhancing its THC potential, and paying homage to its rebellious roots.

Cannabinoid Profile (:

  • THC: 24%
    (This is what gives Acapulco Gold its powerful, euphoric high.)

  • CBD: .5%
    (this strain is not typically used for CBD-specific therapeutic effects.)

  • CBG: 0.5%
    (Present in trace amounts, offering potential mood and focus enhancement.)

Primary Terpenes:

  • Caryophyllene (spicy, woody, pepper-like)
    Anti-inflammatory, stress relief; contributes to the earthy bite.

  • Myrcene (herbal, musky, earthy)
    Offers mild sedation, but in this sativa-leaning strain it rounds out the high and amplifies other cannabinoids.

  • Limonene (citrus, lemon peel)
    Mood-elevating, anxiety-reducing — brings a bright citrus edge to the aroma and taste.

Minor Terpenes:

  • Pinene (pine) — helps with alertness and memory retention.

  • Humulene (hoppy, herbal) — adds to the complexity and may contribute to anti-inflammatory effects.
