Acapulco Gold: Uplifting Sativa

Acapulco Gold (temperate-leaning, THC-led photoperiod sativa)

Acapulco Gold is a photoperiod strain with Central American genetics and an 80% sativa / 20% indica profile. THC sits at 23%, while CBD is kept low at 0–1%, so it’s best approached as a THC-led variety rather than a CBD-forward one. Effects are typically framed as relaxing, soothing, and on the sleepier side, despite the sativa-leaning lineage.
