Croatia: A Day of Love and Tranquility: Exploring Plitvice Lakes
Once upon a time, or more precisely, in the heart of Frankfurt, resided two adventurers by the name of Felix and Emma. The duo was an embodiment of the winds of change that had swept across the land of poets and thinkers, Germany. A sea change was about to wash over their world, or more aptly, a “green” change. The anticipated legalization of cannabis, announced by the Minister of Agriculture, had brought the murmurs of an impending freedom. A draft of the law was slate…
On a Sunday morning in Zagreb, the capital city was just beginning to stir. The early sun was timidly peeking over the skyline, bathing the old city’s rooftops in a warm, orange glow. The cobblestone streets below were slowly coming to life, the usual hum of the city growing louder with each passing moment. Amidst the burgeoning clamor of the city, in a small apartment nestled between the historic buildings, Janko and Ana were just starting their day.
Janko and Ana were no ordinary couple. They were both holders of Croatian medical marijuana licenses, issued to them due to stress-related issues. The fast-paced, noisy life of the capital often proved overwhelming for their sensitive souls. They found solace in the soothing properties of marijuana, a natural antidote to their urban-induced anxieties. The plant offered them a refuge from the frenzied tempo of city life, allowing their minds to float on calmer waters even amidst the daily urban chaos.
Their apartment was a cozy sanctuary in the heart of Zagreb. As they sat together in their small kitchen, sipping their morning coffee, they watched the city wake up. The aroma of the freshly brewed coffee intertwined with the faint scent of marijuana, a remnant from their previous night’s calming ritual. It was a unique blend, one that echoed their distinctive lifestyle in the heart of the bustling metropolis.
Their hearts were full of anticipation that morning. They had planned an escape, a brief respite from the noise and pace of the city. They decided to spend the day at the Plitvice Lakes, or “Plitvička jeziora,” as they were known locally. They yearned for the tranquil sounds of nature, the pure air, and the calming sight of clear, emerald lakes. It was not just a journey to a different place, but a journey to a different pace of life, one that was slow, serene, and soothing.
The thought of immersing themselves in the natural beauty of Plitvice filled them with a sense of joy. They could already envision the towering waterfalls, the lush greenery, and the serene lakes that awaited them. It was more than just a day trip; it was a journey towards tranquility, an escape from the urban jungle, a pilgrimage back to nature. Amidst their anticipation, they found a sense of calm, a soothing certainty that the day ahead would be a balm for their fragile souls.
The journey from Zagreb to Plitvice was a scenic one, filled with rolling hills, verdant fields, and small, charming villages. As they got closer to the lakes, the landscape began to transform, with dense, towering trees replacing the open fields.
Before they entered the park, they decided to smoke a joint. They were not typically users, but they had been told by friends that this would help them open their senses and connect more deeply with the beauty of the place. They found a secluded spot off the trail, where they could enjoy their moment of quietude. The sweet, herbal scent of the smoke mixed with the fresh, earthy smell of the forest, creating an intoxicating aroma that seemed to blend perfectly with their surroundings.
As they walked into the park, they felt a sense of serenity wash over them. The world seemed to slow down, and every detail of the park became vivid and pronounced. The towering waterfalls cascading into crystal clear lakes, the chirping of the birds in the lush greenery, and the shimmering sunlight filtering through the canopy of trees seemed to pulsate with an almost magical energy.
Upon reaching one of the secluded lakes, the serene beauty of the area struck them with a sense of liberation. The tranquil, sapphire water stretched out in front of them, its surface shimmering under the gentle caress of the midday sun. The sound of the distant waterfall resonated through the silence, creating a soothing symphony of nature that filled their hearts with an ineffable peace.
In the spirit of their adventure and the overwhelming freedom they felt, they decided to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world around them. Together, they removed their clothes, their bodies exposed to the warm sunlight. The sight of each other, bare and unguarded, only deepened the bond they felt. Their bodies were natural, beautiful, just like the scenery that enveloped them.
Hand in hand, they took a step toward the water’s edge. The cool sensation of the lake lapped at their feet, causing goosebumps to rise on their skin. They waded deeper, feeling the soft silt beneath their toes shift with each step. The water was refreshingly cool, a stark contrast to the warmth of the sun. It was a strange yet harmonious juxtaposition that made them feel alive, awake, their senses heightened in the most delightful way.
Once they were waist-deep, they plunged into the lake, their bodies submerging into the crystal-clear water. The world around them transformed into an ethereal underwater realm, sound muffled and vision blurred. They swam, their movements graceful and free, their bodies gliding effortlessly through the water.
They swam towards each other, their laughter bubbling up to the surface, the joy in their eyes as clear as the water around them. They splashed each other, engaged in playful wrestling, their laughter echoing across the lake. It felt like they had been transported back to their childhood, where the world was a playground and joy was the only currency that mattered.
Floating on their backs, they gazed at the blue sky above, their bodies swaying gently with the rhythm of the water. They felt like children once again, the world around them a canvas of pure, unadulterated beauty. Their naked swim was more than just an act of rebellion or a quest for thrill. It was a celebration of their youth, their love, their freedom, and their profound connection with nature. They were not merely visitors in this sanctuary of tranquility; they were a part of it, just as the lake, the trees, the sun, and the sky were a part of them.
As the sun began its descent towards the horizon, painting the sky with strokes of red and orange, Janko and Ana found themselves drawn to a secluded spot off the beaten track. It was a place hidden from the world, a place known only to the old trees and whispering wind. The air here was dense with the scent of moss and damp earth, rich and heady, and the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze was like a lullaby to the soul.
They discovered a small clearing, a natural cathedral where the ancient, towering trees stood like stoic pillars, their branches intertwining overhead to form a sacred vault. The last rays of the sun filtered through the leafy canopy, casting a dappled light across the clearing. It felt like stepping into a sanctuary, a hallowed space untouched by time, where nature reigned in its purest form.
In this haven, they found the perfect place to express their love for each other, a space that mirrored the raw and primal energy of their connection. The mood was serene, the silence broken only by the distant hum of a waterfall and the occasional twittering of a bird preparing for the night.
They laid their clothes aside, their bare skin kissed by the cooling air. As they came together, their bodies intertwined, their connection felt as ancient and natural as the earth beneath them. Every touch, every breath, every shared gaze felt imbued with a profundity that words could not capture. The world outside ceased to exist – it was just them, in their sacred grove, cloaked in the tranquility of nature.
As they made love, they felt a sense of unity that transcended their physical forms. Their spirits seemed to merge, mingling with the energy of the surrounding nature. The connection was not just between them, but it extended beyond, reaching out to the very elements that cradled them. It was as if they were becoming one with the earth, their bodies resonating with the ancient wisdom of the trees, their pulses syncing with the gentle ebb and flow of the nearby lake, their breaths aligning with the rhythm of the wind.
Every caress was a thanksgiving, every shared whisper a hymn to Mother Earth. Their lovemaking became a dance, a physical expression of their gratitude to the world that had borne them and to the universe that had brought them together. As they moved in harmony, their hearts echoed with silent vows of love – for each other, for the world, for life itself.
When the culmination of their union arrived, it felt as if they had tapped into the very essence of life. It was a moment of pure ecstasy, a moment where they felt their love blossom into a force as powerful and timeless as the nature surrounding them. Their hearts throbbed with the euphoria of connection, an affirmation of their unity with each other and the world around them.
In the afterglow, they lay entwined, their bodies humming with the residual energy of their love. Above them, the stars began to twinkle, their light filtering through the canopy of trees. In this sacred spot, nestled in the heart of nature, they had celebrated their love, forging an even deeper connection not only with each other but with the world around them. It was an act of love and gratitude, a ceremony dedicated to the nurturing embrace of Mother Earth, a memory etched into the very fabric of their beings.
Afterwards, they lay on the soft grass, watching the stars begin to appear in the sky. They felt a deep sense of gratitude for the beauty of the world, for their love for each other, and for the magical day they had spent at Plitvice Lakes. It was a day they would remember for the rest of their lives – a day of exploration, of connection, of love, and of gratitude.
As they made their way back to Zagreb, they carried with them the essence of Plitvice – its tranquil lakes, its majestic waterfalls, and its mystical forests. They knew that they would always have a piece of this magical place in their hearts, a symbol of their love and a reminder of the beauty of the world that surrounds us.

What is a thai stick?
Thai Sticks are legendary cannabis products that originate from the Hill Tribes of Northeast Thailand. The traditional Thai Stick is crafted with a potent strain of cannabis called Asobinaka. The construction process involves impaling cannabis buds on a bamboo stick, then layering them with hash oil and wrapping them in cannabis leaves. This produces a uniquely concentrated form of cannabis, offering users a truly potent smoking experience.
Thai weed going global!
The popularity of Thai Sticks in the United States emerged during the Vietnam War, as soldiers discovered these potent cannabis products during their downtime. Upon returning home, the demand for Thai Sticks skyrocketed, resulting in thousands of kilos of weed and hash being smuggled into the U.S. However, as the supply of the key ingredient, the Asobinaka strain, dwindled, so did the demand for Thai Sticks. Today, the legacy of Thai Sticks continues, particularly in cannabis-friendly locations like Amsterdam. Adventurous individuals can even try crafting their own Thai Stick, Just don’t forget to take a picture and post it on Instagram, tag us so we can all see the result and enjoy the beauty.
What are cannabis cigars?
A Cannabis Cigar, also known as a Cannagar, is an enhanced smoking experience that utilizes hemp wick in place of tobacco. This natural and eco-friendly alternative is growing in popularity as more people seek healthier and more sustainable ways to consume cannabis. Essentially, a Cannabis Cigar dipped in hash oil is a contemporary interpretation of a Thai Stick, minus the bamboo skewer.
How to make thai sticks?
Creating your own Thai Stick requires certain materials including whole weed buds, cured cannabis leaves, bamboo skewers, hash oil, hemp wick, and parchment paper. After securing these items, you can start by coating your bamboo stick in hash oil to make the buds stick to it. Next, you’ll skewer your buds onto the stick and wrap them tightly with hemp wick for a uniform burn. Afterward, wrap the stick in parchment paper and freeze it for 24-48 hours. When it’s ready, carefully unwrap it, prepare your leaves, coat the buds with hash oil, and then wrap them with the leaves. The final steps involve wrapping the stick in parchment paper again and applying mild heat to seal everything together, and then wrapping the Thai Stick in hemp cord and curing it.
Hash oil
This is the main ingredient; you can make it yourself! Another process you must follow involves dissolving the weed in a solvent and filtering it.
We will add a link to a “How To” soon, so we can guide you through this step by step. Caution is advised due to the flammability of the solvent. It would be best if you didn’t burn anything but a blunt 😉
With a bit of luck and the right connections, you might be able to purchase it.
How to put your thai stick blunt together
You will begin to construct your Thai Stick following the procedure in the images below:
- to start, you will need to gather all of your materials.
- Next, you must coat your bamboo stick in hash oil. This will allow the bud to stick to the skewer while you finish the process.
- You will then skewer your buds on the Stick, being careful, and leave 1 cm at each end of the skewer. Being careful not to break off any buds, tie your hemp cord to one end of the Stick and start to shape them evenly while wrapping them tightly – this produces an even burn throughout the Thai Stick.
- Wrap the Stick in your parchment paper and put it in the freezer for 24-48 hours. Some people will choose to leave it for an extra day, but it should not stay for more than 3 days.
- Take the skewered buds from the freezer and carefully unwrap the parchment. Remove the string at this point – taking extra caution not to break any off the Stick.
– Once the string is off, prepare your prepared leaves.
– You will want to prepare your leaves by washing them and letting them dry ahead of time. - Now, you want to begin wrapping the Stick with your fresh cannabis leaves.
– Coat the buds with hash oil.
– Carefully wrap the buds with the cannabis leaves.
– You will want to do this three times, so your Stick is wrapped up in three layers of leaves. - Wrapping the Stick in parchment paper again and heat it lightly in a pan or hot plate. This will cause the hash oil to melt and seal everything together. Be Careful! DO NOT BURN IT!
- Remove the paper and gently wrap the Thai Stick in the cord again.
- Wrap it in the paper again in preparation for curing.
How to cure your thai stick
Thai Sticks can be cured using two methods – an earth-based method or a modern method.
- The earth-based method involves burying your Thai Sticks in a plastic bag in the earth for several weeks.
- Alternatively, the modern method requires placing your Thai Sticks in a plastic bag and refrigerating it for 3-4 days.
Each method has its own advantages and potential drawbacks, such as the possibility of mold growth or the required waiting period.
Why would you want to do this? There are a couple of reasons:
Firstly, due to a multitude of factors associated with the earth-based method (plant material, confinement in a non-breathable bag, temperature variations, etc.), your Thai Stick is at risk of mold development. Considering the investment of time, money, and effort that has gone into this project, the last thing you would want is for it to be compromised by mold.
Secondly, the question of patience comes into play – would you prefer to wait several weeks to enjoy your Thai Stick blunt, when you could potentially have it ready in merely 3-4 days with the modern curing process?
