Wiz Khalifa: I've Been Arrested for Weed 21 Times

www.vladtv.com - Wiz Khalifa sat down with VladTV for an exclusive interview where he chopped it up about making the Forbes list, his business moves, being the poster boy for marijuana, and just how many times he's been locked up for the green.
Khalifa says it's "cool as hell" to be on the Forbes list, and broke down exactly how he did it, saying it took a lot of careful branding and being wise with his money. The Pittsburgh emcee said the trick was to know when it's time to spend without putting too much out there that he may not get back. He also credits taking the right opportunities when they present themselves, whether it be creating his own brand of rolling papers or working with G-Pen to create his own vaporizer.
When asked if he would ever give up music to focus on the business side of things, Wiz is confident he'll be able to get into other ventures while still being able to record and perform.
Wiz then reveals that while he's been arrested 21 times for marijuana possession, he's still honored to be the poster boy for weed, saying he's proud to be able to dispel the myth that weed will always slow you down and ruin opportunities.

[@somprasongu-chupongamorn6435]

+HelpMakeADifference Really or are those thoughts generated from computers with artificial intelligence like Matrix or are they like the thoughts from IROBOT where they robot was starting to have dreams and started making his own decisions? Here's something to think about if we created a robot with artificial intelligence and it learned how to think ? Would we be gods ? If we could create a soul ? What is a soul ? Who knows? Think about it? Could we become so advance we could space travel and go to planets in other solar systems where there is life? The universe is enormous just think about it and if we became so advanced we moved to different planets throughout the solar systems..... amazing to bad I won't live to see something like that I would love to see humanity advance that far.... I wish I was born later like in the year 3000 who knows? what if when I died my soul would roam the countless number of galaxies... And yes I'm high lol.

[@ogjjones]

Well, idk how many intelligent people say that rappers in "general" are dumb or ignorant, but a lot of them are fake as hell. T.I. is a real dude and I know this for a fact but the rest you named are fake as fuck imo. This dude Wiz lit a blunt just for show like it makes him cool or something, real shit. I know this because I am a frequent smoker and I know for a fact he isn't even inhaling. What a douche!

[@cmrpromotions5069]

Josh Jones just for show? LOL....you obviously dont know Wiz or haven't been around him. THAT'S WHAT HE DOES! LOL @ he isn't even smoking....smh the shit folks say on the internet...

[@ogjjones]

Chris Rhone If you smoke weed then you know he wasn't inhaling, no debate. So why else would you do it? He started the video by lighting a blunt, for what cuz he likes the smell? Everyone I know smokes weed to get high and you can't get high without inhaling. Just because you get arrested for it doesn't mean you do it. Why would I want to hang with a hipster that gets busted all the time?

Everybody on the internet seems to be really into shaking their heads these days. Shaking and shaking and shaking. They're all so frustrated that you can't see their shaking heads that they feel like they just have to let you know that it's shaking away while they type. Nobody cares what your head is doing.

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

[@aChosenWon]

....smh...

[@Damu99]

The most important part of this interview is that Wiz aint spending 10k on Weed no more.... Obviously he has somebody growing for him ,and he probably pays the grower a salary. Weed only hurts you when its on the black market and you have to pay crazy prices for it. If its legal people can grow for themselves ,and never have to pay crazy prices ever again... "Ive got a system" is what youngin said.... Pay attention yall...

[@5limReaper]

@@jadali2344 yeah if your whole life revolves around weed then yeah that will eventually mess you up. But I have a family relative that has throat cancer and has to have it. He dont do it just to get high. It has its advantages that far out weigh its disadvantages, but they won't tell you that and they definitely won't tell you why. All they will say is it will do damage to your lungs. You mention edibles and then people stfu

[@jadali2344]

@@5limReaper yes of course ingesting medical marijuana in quantities prescribed by doctors by ways that you mentioned without smoking it obviously has benefits. But if you rolled and smoked cannabis , then by inhaling burnt plant material from incomplete combustion, its properties will turn toxic and carcicogenic. But sure you can cook with it, make pot brownies or even drink pot tea with medical cannabis
