Sativa Giggly Butter
Make sure that you are trying the strain. It gave me all the creativity I need for the best painting ever. I have all the energy in the world, and it taste like coffee. This is for sure something that I like and that I will recommend to anyone that is looking for a joint to relax or to get your creative juices flow.
it have a bitter, sour taste for me. Reminds me about vinegar. Something that I will not waste money on again
If you want energy, a better mood and high at the same time, this strain is for you, just as wikileaf has told me
Acapulco gold was dissapointing. After reading some reviews, I tried it. I have used marijuana that was a lot better before
I will use this forever!
Whoop-whoop! Were high!
a joint to buy for sure
Yes, I am high and I like every minute of it. Will recommend it to my fellow smokers
The smell, and the taste let me think of coffee…..or…tea. It doesnt matter. It still taste great
So dissapointed
I want more!!
What a feeling I have..
Very difficult to describe the taste and texture of this weed. My friend said something about tea, but it reminds me of honey to be honest. Its almost buttery, smooth, creamy.. Very nice indeed. I think its a legendary one, but I surely wouldnt recommend it to beginners.
I smoked and vaped this one and both times it was quite different in terms of feel and taste with vaping being the winner. It tasted like rich creamy coffee and went very smooth down the throat, no cough and no harsh feeling. Delicious mellow high, too!
Tastes to me a bit sour, something like vinegar. Then, I might be the weird one. Unlike others, I felt a bit out of breath, talkative, and felt like I have an out of body experience more than anything. Great for sharing with friends.
Ive tried many strains so far and most of them made me even more anxious than before. This stopped when I tried Acapulco gold. I must say that I love the uplifting energy. As someone struggling with depression, sometimes its hard to get things done. This is my cure
The buzz is creeping, I usually have a middle-sized bowl and takes some minutes to get started
Uplifting sedative effects with a nice buzz. One of my favs so far
Love this bud. Reminds me of Arnold Palmer in terms of effects, but no lemony taste
If you get the right dose, you will have the best high ever
Helps me get the work done
Great for mental abilities
Pungent smell, but energizing high
best for pain relief
Acapulco Gold? My pot of gold!
Wonderful weed, love the taste
