Historic Digital Gathering Aims to Set a World Record While Advancing Education, Safety, and Legal Awareness
MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / January 15, 2026 / Remergify, Everest Networks, and Kanab.Club today announced The Great Smoke Out, a global online cannabis event designed to promote safe, legal, educational, and responsible cannabis use, while attempting to establish a world record for the largest number of participants engaging simultaneously in a legally compliant online cannabis experience.
Scheduled for April 20, 2026 at 4:20 PM, The Great Smoke Out will bring together participants from jurisdictions where cannabis use is legal, using a secure online platform that emphasizes compliance, age verification, education, and harm-reduction best practices.
Unlike traditional cannabis promotions, the event is explicitly modeled after how alcohol is responsibly marketed and consumed - with a focus on moderation, legality, informed choice, and adult participation.
"Cannabis is no longer an underground activity - it's a regulated, multi-billion-dollar global industry," said a spokesperson for Remergify. "The Great Smoke Out is about normalizing responsible cannabis use, removing stigma, and demonstrating that education and compliance can scale globally."
A Responsible Approach to a Global Industry
Participants will have access to:
Educational content on responsible use and local compliance
Legal disclaimers and jurisdiction-based participation requirements
Harm-reduction guidance similar to alcohol safety campaigns
Community discussions focused on wellness, culture, and innovation
The event will be hosted online by Kanab.Club, leveraging infrastructure developed by Everest Networks, with digital identity, content governance, and participation tracking supported by Remergify's Web3 and compliance-focused technologies.
Not a Sales Event - An Awareness Initiative
The Great Smoke Out is not a cannabis sales or distribution event. No cannabis will be sold, shipped, or provided through the platform. Participants are responsible for complying with all local laws and regulations.
"This is about education and culture - not consumption pressure," said an Everest Networks representative. "Just as beer festivals evolved into responsible, regulated events, cannabis deserves the same maturity."
Looking Ahead
As global cannabis laws continue to evolve, The Great Smoke Out aims to serve as a model for future compliant digital cannabis events, providing regulators, industry leaders, and consumers with a blueprint for responsible engagement at scale.
