Who Rolled the Biggest Joint in the World?
Sometimes you might be flabbergasted by the sheer size or weight of the joints you roll. Which is great! A good big strong joint attests to your cannabis skills and craftsmanship. But wait until you hear about that one group in Massachusetts who reportedly rolled a weed joint longer than 100 feet. Dear lord. You are not going to find anything like that in the nearest coffee shop.
There are many cannabis “records” that people report, but they are often overlooked by Guinness. After all, weed is not equal to beer or wine. So why bother, huh (we’re all waiting on those laws that will make cannabis and alcohol actually equal). Still, even though most cannabis records are not logged officially, they speak about important community milestones and accomplishments. One such record was set by a group in Massachusetts that reportedly rolled a 106-foot (~32 meter) joint in 2017.
Who Holds the Record for Rolling a Joint?
If anyone should be holding a joint-rolling world record, it’s probably the Beantown Greentown, a Boston-based cannabis advocacy group. This group worked on a 106-foot-long joint masterpiece after learning there is no official record for the world’s largest joint, according to sources.
The gigantic roll was presented at The Harvest Cup exhibition at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, back in 2017. There is no need to mention that a long line formed ahead of the unveiling, which was scheduled to take place at exactly 4:20 pm on the day of the event.
How the Group Got the Idea Is Classic Dope!
It all started when the group realized there isn’t any official record for making the world’s largest joint, according to Beantown Greentown’s Andrew Mutty. “Just all of us one day, sitting around, being inebriated and someone said, ‘what is the world record for the longest joint?’ And the situation evolved into a little bit of research and looking online and there was a one pound joint we found, but no one did it in a continuous length,” Mutty said, according to Boston Herald. “So we thought, let’s set the bar kind of high and see if anyone else wants to try and break a record.”
The gigantic cannabis roll was crafted using the group’s own weed and with the helping hands of 40 volunteers. A lovely example of community work! The group documented the entire process in the hopes of getting the attention of Guinness World Records. But so far, this record hasn’t been added.
Who Else Has Tried to Roll the World’s Biggest Cannabis Joint?
The Beantown Greentown advocacy group is not the first nor last to attempt rolling a big gigantic cigarette filled with many ounces of weed.
Since we’re on this topic, you might have already heard about the Bazooka Blunt. This big smoke was crafted by a Los Angeles team, and they tried to set a record by making a 8-feet-long (2.5 meters) joint, which weighed nearly 2.2 pounds (1,000 grams). This one must have been much easier to toke than the Boston-group one.
Joint-rolling artist Tony Greenhand is another name that deserves our attention. During a 4/20 party in 2016, Mr. Greenhand unveiled a watermelon-shaped 4.20 pound-heavy (1.90 kg) joint. This artist is otherwise famous for making some of the most intricate joints on the whole planet.
One more record chaser is cannabis veteran Tommy Chong, who reportedly rolled and smoked a 23.36-pound (~10.6 kg) blunt just days before his 86th birthday party in 2024. Chong rolled the monster blunt along with Dawn “Grasshopa” Doan and June Da Goon, both of whom have won at the World Rolling Championship and the National Joint League, sources say.
Rolling Big Blunts Demonstrates Community Power
Whether it’s a publicity stunt or team-building effort, rolling a huge joint that can launch you on Mount Everest is a fascinating way to pay tribute to cannabis. People do organize themselves locally and at various cannabis events and festivals, and perhaps they don’t always make spectacular joints as about long as the wingspan of a Boeing 737.
But that is what pushes the boundaries, sending a message that the cannabis plant is important for so many people - it is a medicine that works, and as such it deserves its fair place in our society. A 100-foot-long joint not only does fly ‘high’ as a cannabis symbol, it is also a reminder of what can happen when people unite together.
