Cannabis has been making headlines for its legalization, medicinal properties, and increasing popularity in recent years. But did you know that there are some truly astonishing world records related to this versatile plant? From the largest cannabis plants to the most expensive joints, these records are sure to blow your mind. Let's dive in and explore some of the most unbelievable cannabis world records!
1. Strongest Sativa in the World
The Ghost Train Haze strain created by Rare Dankness Seeds has set a new record at Cannabis Cups with the highest THC content compared to all other entries. It boasts an incredible 25-27% potency and is considered a highly sought-after sativa strain.
2. World’s Biggest Joint
Tony Greenhand is a well-known individual who is famous for creating extremely large joints. In 2016, during the 4/20 celebration, he surpassed his previous work by creating a watermelon joint that weighed 4.20 pounds. This joint was so large that it required a hose for proper smoking. To make the smoking experience more comfortable, Greenhand designed a stand to hold the massive joint.
3. Most Weed Smoked
Irvin Rosenfeld is a well-known supporter of cannabis and has gained legendary status due to his impressive consumption of the substance. He holds the record for the highest amount of marijuana consumed and has been recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records for this achievement. As of the record, he had consumed more than 115,000 joints, which is the highest number recorded for any individual.
4. Biggest Weed Farm Worldwide
Aurora Sky in Alberta, Canada is the largest grow-op in the world, with an 800,000-square-foot greenhouse on 30 acres of land. Comparatively, other major facilities like Harborside Farms in California and Tweed in Canada are significantly smaller. Aurora Sky is expected to produce 8,000 kilograms of marijuana per month by January 2019, which is important since Canada is currently experiencing a weed shortage.
5. Record-breaking Hotbox
Many people who enjoy smoking weed have probably experienced a hotbox in high school. However, at the 2015 Kush Cup in Vancouver, a group filled a room with so much smoke that everyone inside got high. They achieved this by pouring 422 grams of concentrated weed into hot pans, which created thick clouds of smoke filled with THC, setting a new world record.
6. Biggest Dab Ever
Dab Stars is a well-known brand in the cannabis concentrate industry, and it is not surprising that they hold the record for the largest dab ever smoked. In 2015, the company organized an event intending to surpass the previous record of 90 grams by a significant margin. Dab Stars successfully achieved this goal, as they smoked over 400 grams of hash at the event.
7. World’s Strongest Strain
The title of the strongest strain doesn't last for too long as there is tough competition among growers. However, the hybrid Chiquita Banana, which is a mixture of OG Kush and Banana, has managed to reach over 33% THC and is difficult to surpass. To know more about the most potent strains, you can refer to Herb's guide.
