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.

3. It would not have worked anyway

I have been to Amsterdam many times and one of the first things I learned was that the pot there is so icky-sticky that joints clog up after a couple of tokes,unless you ad tobacco to the mix.

5. That one wasn't out then

More like the purple haze and Northern lights.
We also learned that awhole doob left you to comatose to even be able to finish one even if you mixed tobacco in.
The first time I went me and my buddy killed a big bowl at the Bull Dog. 4 hours later,we returned to earth,and the waitress told us it is better to drink a lot of coffee and keep moving about to keep from zoning out.
Great advice she gave us.
