Liam and Sophie’s Bavarian Adventure
When Green Waves Crashed Against the German Alps: The Cannabis Revolution Unfolding One Puff at a Time
As Pure and Brave Spirit once said, “Things are what they are, and whatever will be, will be.” In the story of Liam and Sophie from Hamburg, life often waltzed in the rhythm of these words, painted in the colours of the winding German streets, the pot-smoke filled air, and the heart-stopping beauty of the Bayerische Alpen.
The ticking hands of time had found themselves inching towards June, the month that held the national holiday in its heart. This year, however, there was an extra tint of anticipation in the air. Germany had begun to unfurl its tightly wound policies around cannabis, marking a journey towards acceptance and legalisation. A draft law was scheduled to be published in April, promising a world where marijuana would be legal by year’s end. For Liam and Sophie, occasional partakers of the herb, this was a change worth celebrating.
The couple were no strangers to the magical puff of freedom, often finding themselves drawn to the enchanting city of Amsterdam, where cannabis-infused laughter echoed around canal-laden streets. But as Germany was gradually embracing the liberalisation of cannabis, they found themselves eager to pair their annual escape to the Bayerische Alpen with this newfound liberation.
The grandeur of the Bavarian Alps always left them in awe, a sublime blend of overwhelming beauty and serene solitude. As they started their road trip, filled with eager anticipation, their beloved Volkswagen painted an image against the panorama as if pulled straight out of a Jonasson novel – eclectic, eccentric, and filled with tales untold. Before they dived into the forest, they shared a joint, the smoke curling upwards into the clear alpine air, creating a moment of tranquil union between them and the earth.
The cannabis worked its magic, lifting the shackles of their internal limitations. They felt unburdened, free to embrace the adventure ahead. They began to climb, feeling the forest ground beneath their feet and the fresh mountain air filling their lungs. Their minds, no longer tethered by the norms of the city life, began to soar with the golden eagles that circled above.
Their adventure was punctuated by spontaneous, laughter-infused plunges into the crystal-clear alpine lakes, a blissful surrender to the turquoise waters’ embrace. The chill of the water was a stark, exhilarating contrast to the warmth radiating from their bodies, a stark dichotomy that sent shivers of pleasure coursing through their veins. Their laughter echoed through the mountains, a delightful symphony that harmonised perfectly with the gentle whispers of the forest.
On reaching one of the sun-kissed peaks, they found themselves embraced by an overwhelming panorama – a breathtaking spectacle of verdant valleys, azure skies, and snow-topped peaks. In that moment, the world seemed to shrink, leaving nothing but them, their heartbeats, and the majestic Bavarian wilderness. The universe had laid out the perfect canvas, amplifying their passion and intimacy.
As they made love, it was as if time itself paused, holding its breath in the face of their profound connection. Their bodies moved in a sensual rhythm that echoed the ebb and flow of the universe, the pulse of life itself. Each touch was a spark of divine energy, each whisper a sacred vow, and each shared breath a testament of their unity. It was an act of pure, unabridged love, etched into the memory of the majestic Bavarian wilderness.
In the aftermath of their shared ecstasy, they lay entwined in each other’s arms, a beautiful tableau of raw vulnerability. Their bare skin grazed the soft grass beneath them, the slight tickle a gentle reminder of their earthy connection. As they lay there, gazing at the endless stretch of the sapphire sky, they felt a profound sense of unity wash over them.
Their souls, once separate entities, now vibrated in perfect harmony with Pachamama, the Mother Earth. The very essence of life, the divine energy that permeated the universe, coursed through them, grounding them and lifting them simultaneously. They felt an inexplicable connection to everything around them – the towering peaks, the rustling leaves, the shimmering lakes, the very air they breathed.
In this moment of sensual vulnerability, they understood their insignificance and importance in the grand cosmic play. They were but tiny specks in the grandeur of the universe, yet they felt deeply connected to every element of it, as if their love story was a necessary verse in the eternal poem of existence. Their intimate connection, sparked and fostered amidst the Bavarian peaks, was a testament to this divine communion, a sensuous dance that celebrated their unity with all of creation.
Their journey, as it unfurled against the alpine canvas, was not one of solitude. In fact, the mountains seemed to be whispering their stories to all who would listen, stories of love, of longing, of discovery. Among these listeners were other wanderers of the Alps, drawn to the same magic that had called to Liam and Sophie.
Traditionally, German society, with its preference for privacy and order, had inculcated a sense of distance, a careful delineation of personal boundaries. Strangers remained strangers, their stories unshared, their lives unconnected. But in the heart of the Bavarian wilderness, as they shared a joint with these fellow adventurers, something changed.
As the cannabis smoke wafted in the alpine air, it seemed to carry with it an unspoken promise of camaraderie, a commitment to shared experience that transcended the typical barriers of strangerhood. The couple felt a surprising wave of openness wash over them. It was as if the spirit of freedom, emboldened by the joint and the shared adventure, was urging them to peel back the layers of societal conditioning and connect on a level they hadn’t explored before.
There, nestled between towering peaks and the vast blue yonder, they began to engage with the wanderers, sharing pieces of themselves more intimate than they had ever done with strangers. They exchanged tales, richly textured narratives of dreams pursued and challenges overcome, stories soaked in laughter and tinged with shared fears.
The aroma of the burning joint became a universal language, an invisible thread weaving an intricate tapestry of diverse experiences and unique lives. It was as if each shared puff was removing another brick from the wall of unfamiliarity, and in its place, a bridge of connection was forming.
Around the shared flame of the joint, they found a safe haven to not just coexist but truly connect, to share openly, to listen deeply, and to experience the enriching beauty of the human tapestry. As they pondered over the enigma that was life, they discovered the joy of shared existence, the power of openness, and the profound impact of choosing to let go of barriers and embrace the connection that lies at the heart of all life. Their Bavarian adventure thus became a celebration of shared experiences, shattering the conventional German norms, one shared puff at a time.
“Isn’t it good to be alive?” Sophie asked one evening, her eyes reflecting the twilight hues. Around them, the Alps stood tall and quiet, a silent witness to their journey.
“Yes,” replied Liam, his hand finding hers. “Especially now, when we’re free to change our lives for the better.”
They found themselves falling in love, not just with each other but with life itself. In the heart of the German Alps, amid the whispering pines and the rustling grass, they discovered what it truly meant to be alive, to be connected, to be one with the universe.
Their Bayerische Alpen experience became a defining chapter in their shared journey, a testament to the magic that unfurled when they dared to live freely, love deeply, and connect sincerely. Their story, like all of Jonas Jonasson’s tales, was laced with warmth, wit, and wisdom.
But most of all, it echoed the celebration of life in all its forms, a beautiful amalgamation of freedom, connection, and the embracing of change. They were Liam and Sophie, ordinary people with extraordinary stories, living in a world on the cusp of embracing a new era. Their narrative serves as a poignant reminder to us all – to live freely, love deeply, and embrace the ebbs and flows of life, with a joint in hand, and the universe in our hearts.
As the saying goes, “Things are what they are, and whatever will be, will be.” And for Liam and Sophie, what was to come was nothing short of extraordinary.

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?
