I've been in Krakow, Poland now for just over a week and what a Loverly Surprise!!
OK, let me start buy saying that I didn't smoke anything since 5 days, and I wish I had brought more hash with me! In this country the alcohol culture is pretty big, and the ganja culture (so I thought) is pretty small. Ive been hoping to get some weed or hash but unlike other country's there is nobody standing on the streets whispering "Weed" or "Hash" or anything come to mention it.. Back in the days in London every other bystander on the street would be saying "Pills , Pills, Marijuana" or "Hash Hash, Charlie" and it was very easy to get what you was looking for - Ok, 98% of the time you would end up with some cabbage wrapped in foil and by the time you noticed it you or they had already disappeared, and if you did notice and said something, four huge black guys appear from the shadows and would ask you "..and what the fuck are you going to do about it huh - go on fuck off!"
To be honest I didn't see really any remotely brown skinned people here just the one so far and that was a woman on the commuting run home from work, who was walking alone and nor have I ever smelt anyone smoking it in the street.

I just went to this all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, above, which was outstanding quality of food and the price was perfect also. If your ever in Krakow, then go check this place out Kolanko No. 6 you get a breakfast buffet with coffee or tea for 24 zln. On the web it says its 20zln but that you must pay extra for the coffee, and so I guess recently they added the 4 zln and offered coffee to it also!
I didn't take my camera with me which I regret, and just 10 minutes after reading a message from a mate on the subject of acquiring some smokey dokey, I went off with my food baby belly and went to get the tram back to the apartment manifesting that I would find some later tonight at a place I got told about last night from a spontaneous visit from a complete stranger.
I had 2 minutes until my tram came and across the road I saw a cannabis leaf on a shop sign and could just about make out the words "Seedbank" and I thought it would just be rude not to go inside and check it out- after all, who even knew that it was ok to sell seeds in Poland?!
Of course I didn't ever expect to get something to smoke from there, and I wasn't even going to bother asking - but to see what seeds they had and to chat with the workers was what I went in for.
I walked in the shop and sure enough all the banners and promotion poster's from royal queen seeds and others where plastered on the wall, and a neat little counter with all the common headshop goodies for sale in a glass counter and a very stoned guy greeting me as I approached him.
"You have seeds?" I asked, and he said yes sure! He said "its legal to buy seeds here in Poland, and even legal to smoke it!"
"But you just cant have it in your possession"
I was about to leave when I saw in the seed fridge he also had CBD oil scribbled in polish on a plastic box on a shelf and asked him if I could atleast get some oil. Then, to my surprise he said, "We have also CBD weed AND hash, but it contains no THC's.
Wow. Don't they know that CBD is the new THC?! He bring out an icecream tub and shows me packets of 1 grams and small round containers of 7 gram of CBD weed, and also a plastic container full of various hash's in small cute round containers.
I was so happy!! And luckily I had just the right amount of cash on me for 1 gram of weed costing 20 Zln, which is around 5 euro.
He said "it tastes like shit but its proper CBD weed" - and I replied "You see how white my eyes are?!" I don't really care for the taste right now hahahaha!
Check this out!
I'm still in shock, but also very relax as the gram is already in my lungage ;) I was expecting at least that it would have seeds and no smell, but when I opened it, it smelt good, not like skunk of course but more like outdoor organic weed.
As claimed on the packet, it consists of no more than 0.2%Thc which as you might now, anything under 0.3%thc is classed as hemp. But let me say, after bunging the gram in a joint and smoking it with cellulose papers, i would say that there is actually at least 1-3% THC as my eyes have got heavy and somewhat red, and unless im mistaken CBD shouldn't have this effect on the eyes.
Sure it was a little bit leafy..
But hey- we can just take of the leaves!
I rented a non smoking appartment, and you know the oven extractor fan is the best place to smoke under unless you would like the freezing cold balcony!
