Bummer

“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.

    A five foot long joint is supposed to be some kind of world record?!?!

    I personally have…uh, a FRIEND, and my friend told me he’s, uh…SEEN a joint that big before.

    Yeah. My FRIEND has SEEN a bigger joint.

    That’s what I mean to say.

    I was given a gift such as this for my wedding reception in 1985. (No, I am not the friend John X wrote of.) The good old days were not well documented for the purpose of record books. What is the statute of limitations on such a crime anyway? That was 21 years and two husbands ago…

    A five foot blunt and it lasted longer than the marriage? How long were you married? A month, six weeks maybe? I think the marriage might haved lasted longer if you’d smoked more dope, but who’s to say?

    It was a 3 month marriage and a 6 month doob. He got the evidence in the divorce. I suppose it was a case of re-gifting. I got out cheap.
