Group in Amsterdam scraps attempt at worlds biggest joint
 

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A plan to roll and smoke the world's largest joint was cancelled at short notice in Amsterdam when the organizers realized they could be breaking the law.

"We have now read the small print and realize there could be problems," Thijs Verheij, one of the organizers, was quoted as saying by ANP news agency after consulting Dutch drugs laws.

The group had wanted to roll a five-foot-long pure-weed joint, stuffed with more than a pound of marijuana and containing no tobacco, and smoke it in a bar.

It had initially thought the attempt would be legal if 100 people each brought along the five grams of the drug tolerated by Dutch authorities for personal use.

"Unfortunately it looks like this will not be possible," Verheij said. The attempt had been planned for Wednesday.

A police spokesman said: "We would definitely have investigated this. If you make a single joint with half a kilo of cannabis in it, it would cross the line."

Verheij said the group had hoped to beat a record set with a joint containing 100 grams of marijuana.

Stupid idea...stoners...

Wtf!? Were they high?!

that would have been NUTS

Gotta love the dutchies

Sounds like Franck has to make a new plan with his friends...

Why would anyone want to draw attention to something like that? Makes no sense..

i like the idea....

Great news!
The idea is fine. And if they made a good promotion, may be they would have gathered that amount - they could make some open-air (if the law affords it)with music bbq and big big joint. THe ticket would have costed 5 gram of weed. Great!

Wtf :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yup drugs are illegal here - noone understands how dutchies have laws and still allow stuff thats illegal

its messed up I know

wtf, is the person who wrote the article high?

it sais ""roll a five-foot-long pure-weed joint, stuffed with more than a pound of marijuana""

then at the bottom ... Verheij said the group had hoped to beat a record set with a joint containing 100 grams of marijuana.

they cant roll 105 grams?

:\

That wouldn't have been newsworthy, now would it?

FUCKING POTHEADS ALWAYS THINK THEY'RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Wait, I thought weed was legal in Amsterdam? A friend of mine went there a couple years ago, said he could buy it in the coffee shops.

Imagine the amount of smoke coming off a joint like that. Everyone in the neighborhood gets high.

You have a good point. :1orglaugh

100 grams . thats not very big, less than a q/p i have smoked joints bigger than that

Now thats a record i can beat! And would want to!

Some webmasters in Jamaica once made a joint from a pound and a half of weed. When smoked, a burst of flame a foot long would shoot out the end of the 2 foot monster spliff. Over a dozen people smoked it and nobody was able to take more than 2 puffs off it before being too bombed to take another toke.
Just a story I heard... :winkwink:
