Acapulco gold is the traditional name of a potent strain of cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) originating in Acapulco, Mexico. [...]<br /><br />The Oxford English Dictionary quotes an early usage of the term from a 1965 newsletter, in which it was described it as <i>a special grade of pot growing only in the vicinity of Acapulco. The color is either brownish gold or a mixture of gold and green. This grade has a potency surpassed by few of the green varieties and usually comes at slightly higher prices or in short weights.</i><br /><br />Read more onto: <a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acapulco_gold&quot;>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acapulco_gold</a>
