Wiz Khalifa Confirms He Smokes 30 Joints Per Day

Wiz Khalifa has become one of the faces of weed rap since his debut in 2005. The rapper’s also built up a tolerance for the smoke, according to a new interview between Khalifa and late night host Jimmy Kimmel.

Khalifa appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday (June 13), where he confirmed that he smokes about 30 joints a day to keep his head in the clouds. “Yeah, yeah, yup,” he said when asked about his daily smoking routine. “I have things to do. I work out — I got kids, so I do a lot of different things.”

Wiz explained that he looks at it like a “mental exercise” as he attempts to navigate life’s daily obstacles while high. “Somebody put it a really good way the other day,” Khalifa said. “You smoke and then you just challenge yourself to do normal things throughout the day … I enjoy it.”

As far as his kush origins, the 37-year-old revealed he began smoking as a teenager since it seemed like the thing to do while hanging in the studio with fellow musicians.”It was just for for music purposes, like, being in the studio and hanging around other musicians it was just the thing to do,” he said. “It kind of became something that, you know, later on in life helped me to get through a lot of things.”

In addition to sitting down for an interview, Khalifa peformed “5 Star” without Gunna, which landed on his Kush + Orange Juice 2 album in April. Look for Wiz to also hit stages across North America for his Good Vibes Only Tour with DaBaby and Sean Paul.
