Wiz Khalifa isn’t here for people who jump on their soap boxes to preach about post-smoking life when it hasn’t even been that long since they quit.
The Taylor Gang rapper made the PSA on his Instagram Story on Wednesday (January 11). While he’s open to the idea that quitting can be life-changing, he’s not trying to hear it from someone unless they’ve put the herb down for at least a decade.
“Check this out: if you smoked weed for the majority of your life and you just stopped smoking weed, don’t try to convince everybody that your life has changed so much just ‘cause you quit smoking weed, dog,” Wiz began. “That shit – it don’t happen that fast. Tap in about 15 years when the effects really kick in. A year, a couple days, a few months… That ain’t long enough to see no progress, fam. Straight up.
“And if you wasn’t getting shit done off of weed, it’s probably just ‘cause you don’t know how to get shit done,” he continued. “Some people eat too much and they get fat. You gotta know how to moderate that shit. So if you been smoking 10-15 years, tap in 15 years later if you not smoking weed and then make a fucking video.”
And it’s not just recent weed-quitters who Wiz Khalifa doesn’t have mercy for. He also takes no prisoners on the basketball court – even when his opponent happens to be his own kid.
A recent viral video shows the Pittsburgh native playing basketball with his son Sebastian and his friend Shawn, and Wiz is dominating the game with ease – complete with smack talking.
During the 1-on-2 pickup game, Wiz is heard taunting the kids saying, “Got ’em” and “Ya’ll don’t want none.”
In the caption of video, Wiz wrote: “No I aint taking easy on them. Kids be talking shit.”
On the music side of things, Wiz finished 2022 with one more song for his fans, dropping “Never Drinking Again” just in time for New Year’s Eve. Check out the track here.
He also revealed that he would love to go toe to toe with Lil Wayne in a Verzuz battle.
In a recent interview with DJ Superstar Jay, Khalifa named Wayne as his ideal Verzuz opponent – though his reasons were based more on the performance than the competition aspect.
“I think that would be fun, yeah. Because Wayne is a really dope performer,” the Taylor Gang CEO said. “Me and him going back and forth performing bangers? That shit’d be hard! And we’d both smoke hella weed. I think that would be more of a concert than a Verzuz.”
This is coming from a heavy smoker (me) :Smells like a bitter response from Wiz cause admitting that quitting weed is good for you physically and mentally (which it absolutely 100% is) would be a direct contradiction on everything he preaches and laments over in his music and that’s actually the exact reason why his music hasn’t grown and his fan base has diminished. Great artists know when to put the Mary Jane down it’s absolutely vital to creating classics. This explains everything. Wiz even did the whole mma ufc transformation because he was trying to better his life and he was searching for that void that’s been bothering him ever since the weed smoking went from kush and oj/how fly classic range to tedious and tired.

But it still didn’t fill that void. He’s too dumb to admit it but he knows deep down he turned into a bum. That’s why he fights dj‘s and say’s outrageous things like him and weezy would be a fitting versuz. Wiz is lashing out. Used to be my go to rapper at party’s and smoke outs but now he’s a bum.
PLEASE JUST STFU
I couldn’t agree more. Can’t stand when people get on here and write page long comments.
I 3rd that Stfu please u said all that like u kno him personally fuck outta with that bs
Man shut the Fuck Up! Please!!!
Nah, when you quit any daily high you will notice more mental clarity, and feel things you didn’t while numbed on drugs. I was a heavy pothead a decade ago. After I stopped I felt different as soon as the mental withdrawal was over. I quot kratom too some years back. Very rough to quit, felt noticeably different in a week or two off of it. To act like weed doesn’t alter your perception, and going off it after habitual use doesn’t change your perception rather quickly is BS. It does. Not saying not to smoke pot, but daily use of any high isn’t good as a whole.
He’s missing an important detail. He has money. He has assistants. He has the means to get the things he does done. Where as a common person doesn’t have those means. I’m 31 and been smoking weed since I was 15. One obvious thing to anyone with a brain who smokes is it fucks up your motivation. That’s a fact. I notice it constantly. It isn’t some big secret. Wiz gets high and pays all of his people to get things done. A rapper is one of the laziest jobs in the world.

Quitting smoking can change your life instantly, starting with your wallet. It also might land you a job that tests for drugs but pays more. And lets not forget the munchies. You might loose some weight and be more active.
Seems to me everyone smokes that shit nowadays like lawyers and doctors even children…………………….
I havent smoked for over 10 years, my tolerance was way fucked up, needed hella hits to get high.. stopping has bn good for my memory and mental function, 4 of my good friends are lost coz of it, they didnt know it wasnt for them, its just not my shit anymore, but can hang around it and endorse it
I’m 44, smoked weed daily since about 15, quit almost exactly 7 months ago. Noticed benefits immediately including cardio function, mental stamina, and overall just feeling better about life. It sucked for a couple months but the desire is mostly gone now, not sure if i will ever pick the habit back up.
