Colombian Gold is some seriously old-school marijuana. A close relative of the even more famous Acapulco Gold, this strain was born in the Santa Marta mountains of Colombia and exploded across the United States in the 1960s. Its popularity has since faded dramatically, but it remains an effective tool for treating muscle spasms and chronic pain. THC levels in this strain reportedly test around 23%, so it’s a relatively potent choice for patients seeking a calming, energizing, clear-headed cerebral high that can also be used to treat anxiety and depression. CBD levels are much harder to come by, though Colombian Gold has been used to crossbreed strains that are high in that cannabinoid. Still, without more reliable information, this strain shouldn’t be used as the sole medication for conditions that respond to CBD, including seizure disorders. Colombian Gold is a near-pure sativa (sativa/indica ratio of at least 75:25), the result of an original Colombian landrace strain. It delivers a smooth but tangy tea flavor and a Skunky aroma with notes of lemon and lime. The buds are covered in visible crystals. Though well past its prime, Colombian Gold still sells relatively well in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and Arizona.

It’s not the Colombian Gold I smoked in the 70’s but it’s still pretty good. Pretty smooth, nice taste and a decent buzz.

This is your classic clean sundried grass sativa flavour and aroma, must buy for anyone over 35 lol
I’m sure the 60’s never had this strain so beefy and well-grown (my 7g contained a 3g bud). It’s not gold at all though, ironically dark green with lots of purple tips it looks and smells like a fruity purple indica in the bag but tastes, smokes and effects like a classic sativa. Even the slight sativa headache once it settled behind my eyes, which tells me I’m hungry. Very nice, not my favourite sativa but definitely a good nostalgic taste and I appreciate CS resurrecting these classic strains. How about some OG Purple Kush next??? 😀
