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.
