This famous sativa-dominant hybrid, which has an 80:20 sativa/indica ratio, combines a powerful head high with a soothing body high that last for at least two hours. Acapulco Gold originated in Acapulco, Mexico, but no one seems to remember who first grew it or what parent strains were used. Acapulco Gold is pretty hard to find because it’s difficult to grow indoors, but it’s popular throughout the United States, especially in warmer climes. It’s best used to treat anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, but it’s also good for insomnia and headaches, as well as some mental disorders. This strain can be especially powerful, with THC levels as high as 24%. It has a distinct earthy flavor and aroma, with a taste of chestnut and tealeaves. As with most strains, the most likely adverse effects are dry eyes and dry mouth. Paranoia and dizziness are also possible but less common. Acapulco Gold is most popular in the Western United States, the Upper Midwest, and the desert Southwest. It often costs more than other strains because of its potency and the beautiful gold-tinged appearance of its bud.
Shatter is a highly concentrated cannabis extract typically made by butane extraction. Over the past decade, Shatter has gained popularity among cannabis users for its glassy, photogenic texture and high THC potency.

Nice strain for the daytime hours. Lifted, clear and focused.

Excellent head high…energetic and keeps me up and alert. Don’t smoke this if you’re trying to pass out for the night or get in a quick nap. Excellent for staying up late and being active, social situations, driving

Effects are good, but the flavor notes are not matching up, as I’m getting a carrot top/chlorophyll taste followed by a permanent marker sort of bitter chemical that I suppose could be described as a dark coffee? I went through nearly an ounce of other strains before coming back to this and I just cannot find a temperature where this isn’t horrible tasting.
