Stock up on Doritos before New Year's, LA, because there's a man who's planning on rolling and smoking a three foot jay on December 31, which means there are going to be some people with the world's largest case of munchies soon afterwards.
Brett Stone, the brains behind DaBronx News, a website that claims to contain "All the 'dope' on marijuana in the news", recently heard about a group of Dutch pot smokers who had to nix their plans of rolling a joint filled with 17 ounces of weed, because such a spliff would be illegal in Amsterdam.
Because Stone is a card-carrying medical marijuana patient here in California, he realized that he could legally roll and smoke a joint that large right here in LA. And that's just what he plans on doing.
"I thought the world's largest joint would have been a lot larger," Stone was quoted as saying in the Daily Breeze, adding that it would be legal since it would be toked in a place designated for such things. "It will be smoked in a local medical marijuana collective here in L.A."
Contrary to the belief that stoners are lazy under-achievers, Stone already has plans to break the record that he hopes to set. Come Super Bowl Sunday the 48-year-old hopes to roll an even larger joint, and to get sponsorship from a company which will provide the extraordinary rolling paper that will hold all that kush.
We are told that one ounce of marijuana can fit in a large freezer-sized Ziploc baggie.
Stone will not be smoking the joint alone, he will be joined by others who are using the ancient herb medicinally and even invites local dignitaries as long as they have their paperwork.
"The mayor and police chief would be most welcome if they have a doctor's note to consume cannabis," he said.

man too bad i don't have a card if not i would definetly be joining him...how about the laist collective try to break that record? i think it can be done
LAist is a very healthy group of young people. We neither suffer from HIV, AIDS, anorexia, or glaucoma, therefore if you see us around 17 ziplock freezerbags of chronic we're probably selling it to children.
Just FYI...not everyone that gets a Rx for medical Mary Jane necessarily has a debilitating illness. It can be prescribed for a whole number of things from insomnia and anxiety to deep tissue damage after a car accident.
insomnia? I HAVE INSOMNIA!
I am so there, is there any mention of where this will be held. I also hope the joint is rolled with quality like i'm smoking ;)
I think we smoked one pretty close that size this year at reggae on the river. Actually, i know it was bigger. This joint took 3 people holiding it up just to mae it work and you hit it like a bong. there's now fucking way that was under a pound. i call bullshit.
Such stunts help the conservs make arguments for why other states shouldn't "promote such activity." Folks should be more responsible.
