Acapulco gold

Popular varieties then were Acapulco Gold, Maui Wowie, Panama Red, and Afghani Kush, and the naming protocol, loosely stated, resembled traditional plant taxonomy: identified by the geographic region where the seeds were sourced, often with added adjectives that describe perks like the quality of the "high"—in a word, wow.

One day, the Waldos met at 4:20 p.m. for a “safari” and smoked all the Panama Red and Acapulco Gold — marijuana strains popular at the time for their potency and energizing qualities — they could get their hands on.

Catering to the hippie crowd, the shop sold flavors with names like Acapulco Gold and Panama Red.

Whether you’re new to cannabis or a veteran tastemaker, you should take the opportunity to try Acapulco Gold, also called Mexican sativa.

Its native environment and the tropical conditions there played a role in raising the potency of Acapulco Gold past other sativas.
