The rapper, known for his advocacy of cannabis use, was arrested in July after smoking cannabis on stage, a decision that has now led to a formal indictment by Romanian authorities.</p> <h3><strong>The Incident and Arrest</strong></h3> <p>The <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifas-romanian-arrest-sparks-international-debate/">incident</a> occurred during Wiz Khalifa’s July performance, where he openly smoked cannabis on stage. Although Wiz is no stranger to public displays of cannabis use, this particular instance clashed with Romania’s strict anti-drug laws. Romania, like many Eastern European nations, holds a firm stance on drug usage, particularly in public.</p> <p>After the performance, local authorities arrested Khalifa, charging him with possession of illegal drugs. According to DIICOT (Romania’s anti-organized crime prosecutors’ organization), Wiz was found with 18.53 grams of cannabis and a rolled cannabis cigarette. His case was then submitted to the Constanta Court for further legal proceedings.</p> <h3><strong>Formal Indictment</strong></h3> <p>On <a href="https://spotmedia.ro/en/news/entertainment/wiz-khalifa-sent-to-trial-after-smoking-cannabis-at-beach-please">October 15, 2024</a>, DIICOT officially indicted the rapper for possession of dangerous drugs with the intent of personal consumption. The formal indictment moves the case forward to trial, placing Khalifa under the legal scrutiny of Romanian courts. This legal battle could have significant consequences, not only for Wiz personally but for the broader conversation about cannabis laws globally, especially in countries with more stringent regulations.</p> <h3><strong>Wiz’s Response</strong></h3> <p>Following his arrest, Wiz took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the situation. He expressed regret for his actions but maintained his appreciation for the hospitality shown by Romanian authorities.</p> <p>“Last night’s show was amazing,” he wrote. “I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big a– joint next time.”</p> <p>His response showed a combination of remorse and his usual laid-back personality. However, it’s clear that the legal consequences of the incident are not to be taken lightly.</p> <h3><strong>Cannabis Laws in Romania</strong></h3> <p>Romania is known for its strict drug laws, where the possession of cannabis, even for personal use, is a criminal offense. The country’s legal system treats drug-related crimes seriously, with penalties that can range from fines to imprisonment. This contrasts sharply with the rapper’s home country of the United States, where cannabis laws have relaxed considerably in recent years.</p> <p>While many American states have embraced cannabis legalization, either recreationally or medicinally, Romania’s legal system remains far from such changes. The country’s stance reflects the broader cannabis debate across Europe, where laws differ greatly from one country to the next. Countries like the Netherlands or Spain have more relaxed attitudes, while others, like Romania, continue to impose strict penalties.</p> <h3><strong>Wiz’s Relationship with Cannabis Culture</strong></h3> <p>Wiz Khalifa has long been a vocal advocate of cannabis, making it a central part of his brand. From launching his own cannabis strain to collaborating on cannabis-themed projects, the rapper has built a reputation that openly embraces the marijuana lifestyle.</p> <p>During a recent appearance on the <em>Call Her Daddy</em> podcast, Wiz discussed his personal relationship with cannabis, even joking that his son Sebastian’s teachers expect him to attend parent-teacher conferences while stoned. He went on to admit that he’s “pretty sure” his son smells like the drug.</p> <p>“Hell yeah, I’m pulling up stoned,” Wiz said during the interview. “They know what’s up. It’s not like back in the day [where] you’re considered a bad parent if you smoke weed.”</p> <p>This candidness underscores Wiz’s laid-back attitude toward cannabis, but it also highlights a growing divide between countries where marijuana use is decriminalized or legalized and those where it remains a serious offense.</p> <h3><strong>What’s Next for Wiz?</strong></h3> <p>Wiz Khalifa’s case in <a href="https://www.romania-insider.com/wiz-khalifa-trial-romania-smoking-weed-stage-2024">Romania</a> is now set for trial, and the rapper could face significant penalties if convicted. While the charges are related solely to personal use, Romania’s tough drug laws leave little room for leniency.</p> <p>As the trial progresses, it’s worth noting that the outcome could have broader implications for artists and public figures traveling to countries with strict drug laws. Wiz’s situation serves as a reminder that, despite changing attitudes toward cannabis in some parts of the world, the legal landscape remains a patchwork of regulations, some of which carry severe consequences for even small amounts of possession.</p> <p>In the meantime, fans and the cannabis community are watching closely to see how this case unfolds. Will Wiz Khalifa’s star power and public apology sway the Romanian courts, or will the rapper face harsher consequences for his actions?</p> <h3><strong>Cannabis on the Global Stage</strong></h3> <p>The situation with Wiz Khalifa brings to light the continued global inconsistencies in cannabis legislation. While countries like Canada and parts of the U.S. have fully embraced cannabis legalization, other nations, especially in Eastern Europe, remain steadfast in their prohibition.</p> <p>For artists and public figures who travel frequently, understanding local laws is crucial. Wiz’s case serves as a cautionary tale that, despite his good intentions, there are places in the world where lighting up on stage is a serious offense.</p> <p>As the global conversation about cannabis laws continues to evolve, incidents like this one remind us of the ongoing struggle for acceptance and legalization in various parts of the world.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-indicted-in-romania-for-cannabis-use-during-concert/">Wiz Khalifa Indicted in Romania for Cannabis Use During Concert</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-indicted-in-romania-for-cannabis-use-during-concert/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">199644</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Wiz Khalifa’s Romanian Arrest Sparks International Debate</title> <link>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifas-romanian-arrest-sparks-international-debate/</link> <comments>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifas-romanian-arrest-sparks-international-debate/?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hazey Taughtme]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 16 Jul 2024 15:22:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Celebrity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Culture]]></category> <category><![CDATA[International]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Law]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NEWS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Beach Please!

Festival. This incident has captured worldwide attention, highlighting the complex legal landscapes surrounding cannabis use.</p> <h3>The Incident at Beach Please! Festival</h3> <p>Wiz Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, performed at the Beach Please! Festival on Saturday, July 13. Known for his hit songs and candid cannabis advocacy, Khalifa was seen lighting up a joint during his performance, which was later shared widely on social media. The audience of thousands watched as the rapper indulged in what seemed like a routine act for him.</p> <p>However, the Romanian authorities took the incident seriously. The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism confirmed in a <a href="https://www.diicot.ro/mass-media/4940-comunicat-de-presa-14-07-2024">press release</a> that Khalifa was charged with “illegal possession of high-risk drugs.” They stated that he had over 18 grams of cannabis in his possession and consumed more onstage in the form of an artisanal cigarette.</p> <h3>Arrest and Immediate Aftermath</h3> <p>Following his performance, footage surfaced showing Khalifa being escorted by police away from the festival site. The sight of the “See You Again” rapper in police custody quickly went viral, sparking a mix of reactions from fans and the public.</p> <p>In response to his arrest, Khalifa issued an apology on social media. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Last night’s show was amazing. I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up onstage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big (expletive) joint next time.”</p> <p><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-199302" src="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1789.jpeg?resize=740%2C554&ssl=1" alt="" width="740" height="554" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1789.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1789.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1789.jpeg?resize=768%2C575&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1789.jpeg?resize=600%2C449&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1789.jpeg?w=1200&ssl=1 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></p> <h3>Broader Implications and Public Reaction</h3> <p>Khalifa’s arrest has ignited a broader conversation about cannabis laws and their enforcement around the world.

Just last year, Khalifa made headlines for admitting he was high on magic mushrooms while throwing the first pitch at a baseball game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Guardians. His openness about drug use has both endeared him to fans and attracted controversy.</p> <h3>Upcoming Performances</h3> <p>Despite the recent legal troubles, Khalifa’s music career shows no signs of slowing down. He is set to perform at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub in Las Vegas on August 30. Fans are eagerly anticipating his performance, though many are curious about how this recent incident might influence his future shows.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>Wiz Khalifa’s arrest in Romania has brought significant attention to the varying cannabis laws across the globe. As Khalifa continues his international performances, this incident serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of respecting local regulations. The rapper’s experience highlights the ongoing dialogue about cannabis use and legalization, resonating with fans and observers worldwide.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifas-romanian-arrest-sparks-international-debate/">Wiz Khalifa’s Romanian Arrest Sparks International Debate</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifas-romanian-arrest-sparks-international-debate/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">199300</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Wiz Khalifa X Dr. Dabber Drop Vaporizer For 710 Day</title> <link>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-x-dr-dabber-drop-vaporizer-for-710-day/</link> <comments>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-x-dr-dabber-drop-vaporizer-for-710-day/?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hazey Taughtme]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 10 Jul 2023 16:19:36 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Celebrity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Industry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cannabis Experience]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis industry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dr. Dabber]]></category> <category><![CDATA[E-Rig]]></category> <category><![CDATA[featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Heat-Sensitive]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Innovative Vaping Device]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Khalifa Kush]]></category> <category><![CDATA[limited edition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thermochromic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vaping Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vaporizer Launch]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wiz Khalifa]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wiz Khalifa Vaporizer]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blackcannabismagazine.com/?p=197924</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Dabber, the renowned Las Vegas-based vaporizer manufacturer, in collaboration with Khalifa Kush, the globally recognized cannabis brand established by Wiz Khalifa, has launched an exceptional limited edition device – the Wiz Khalifa Black & Yellow XS Nano Vaporizer.

Additionally, Barnes and Bellamy shared a light-hearted moment discussing high THC levels in some strains of cannabis, jokingly referring to those who smoke them as “zombies.” This candid conversation about cannabis helps to destigmatize its use and showcase how it plays a role in Barnes’ life both professionally and personally.</p> <h6><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-196472" src="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=740%2C418&ssl=1" alt="" width="740" height="418" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=1024%2C579&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=300%2C170&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=768%2C434&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=1536%2C868&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1158&ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=1000%2C563&ssl=1 1000w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=560%2C315&ssl=1 560w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?resize=600%2C339&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?w=1480&ssl=1 1480w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/C2EB6BF0-98F3-4603-A8AB-0D12A66CAF71.jpeg?w=2220&ssl=1 2220w" sizes="(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /><br /> Navigating the NBA</h6> <p>Matt Barnes shared his <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/cannabis-use-in-the-nba-insights-from-matt-barnes/amp/">experiences</a> navigating the world of professional basketball, discussing the highs and lows he experienced throughout his career.

Hip-hop artist Future’s legal team recently filed six intent-to-use trademark applications for “EVOL BY FUTURE” that would be used in connection with consumption lounge services, vape pens, and medical cannabis products.

But what does “EVOL BY FUTURE” entail? According to the trademark applications, the brand may include herbal tinctures for medical purposes, medicated oils, medicated oral sprays for pain relief, medicated creams and lotions for pain relief, smoking accessories, and clothing, including hats and shirts. Furthermore, the filing includes a website that would provide “health information in the field of medical marijuana and cannabis.” It appears that Future is considering a well-rounded brand that caters to various aspects of the cannabis industry.</p> <h5>How does it compare to other rappers’ cannabis brands?</h5> <p>Future is not the only rapper with ties to the cannabis industry. Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Wiz Khalifa, B. Real, Berner, Run the Jewels, Rick Ross, and Xzibit are just a few of the names that have either invested in cannabis companies or started their own brands. Let’s take a closer look at some of these brands and see how they compare to what Future may be launching.</p> <p>Snoop Dogg’s Leafs by Snoop was one of the first celebrity-endorsed cannabis brands. It offers a range of products, including flower, concentrates, and edibles, with a focus on quality and user experience. Jay-Z’s Monogram is a high-end cannabis brand that aims to “redefine what cannabis means to consumers today.” It offers pre-rolled joints and flower in sleek packaging that resembles a luxury product. Wiz Khalifa’s Khalifa Kush is a strain of cannabis that is known for its high potency and quality. B. Real’s Dr. Greenthumb’s is a brand that includes a line of cannabis strains, extracts, and accessories. Berner’s Cookies is a popular brand that offers strains, edibles, and clothing. Run the Jewels’ Ooh La La is a strain of cannabis that was released in collaboration with a cannabis company. Finally, Rick Ross’ partnership with the California-based cannabis company, Jetdoc, aims to bring cannabis education and healthcare services to underserved communities.</p> <h5>What can we expect from “EVOL BY FUTURE”?</h5> <p>It’s too early to tell what Future’s cannabis brand will look like and how it will be received in the market. None of the trademark applications associated with the filing have been approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office yet. However, the fact that Future’s legal team has filed six applications for a range of products and services suggests that he is serious about entering the cannabis industry. Furthermore, the inclusion of “health information in the field of medical marijuana and cannabis” on the brand’s website may indicate that Future is interested in promoting the medicinal benefits of cannabis, as well as its recreational use.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/future-may-be-entering-the-cannabis-industry-with-evol-by-future-brand/">Future May be Entering the Cannabis Industry with “EVOL by Future” Brand</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/future-may-be-entering-the-cannabis-industry-with-evol-by-future-brand/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">191717</post-id> </item> <item> <title>420 Fest Takes Missouri by Storm with Wiz Khalifa, Joey Bada$$, Berner, Smoke DZA, and Chevy Woods</title> <link>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/</link> <comments>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hazey Taughtme]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 12 Feb 2023 01:52:03 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NEWS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[420 Fest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[alcohol]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Berner]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis brands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cannabis Village]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chevy Woods]]></category> <category><![CDATA[featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Joey Bada$$]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marijuana]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Missouri]]></category> <category><![CDATA[music festivals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[recreational marijuana]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Smoke DZA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[state law]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ticket sales.]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wiz Khalifa]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blackcannabismagazine.com/?p=187624</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>420 Fest is set to take place in Missouri and promises to be a unique experience for music and cannabis enthusiasts alike.

This innovative twist on music festivals promises to provide a unique experience for attendees, who will be able to enjoy their favorite music while also indulging in their favorite strains.</p> <h5>Abiding by State Law</h5> <p>Besa Hospitality Group (BHG) President Joey Pintozzi assures that the festival will abide by state law, which prevents alcohol and marijuana from being used in the same place. The Cannabis Village will only allow people 21 and older inside and there will be strict controls in place to ensure that these limits are respected.</p> <p>“It’s very controlled,” says Pintozzi. “You can free flow back and forth, freely, you just can’t drink in the designated cannabis consumption areas, and vice versa with the alcohol.”</p> <h5>Expanding Cannabis Brands and Products</h5> <p>The goal of the festival is to give artists a unique platform to expand their cannabis brands and products in a unique space. Pintozzi hopes to announce the artists who will perform in the next few days or weeks, but promises that the lineup will be exciting and diverse.</p> <p>“We’re supplying a platform that you can’t find in a lot of places in the United States right now even though everything’s moving that way,” says Pintozzi.</p> <h5>Ticket Sales Start Friday, February 17</h5> <p>Tickets for 420 Fest go on sale Friday, February 17, so mark your calendars and get ready to enjoy the ultimate music and cannabis experience. Whether you’re a fan of Wiz Khalifa, Joey Bada$$, Berner, Smoke DZA, or Chevy Woods, you won’t want to miss this festival.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/">420 Fest Takes Missouri by Storm with Wiz Khalifa, Joey Bada$$, Berner, Smoke DZA, and Chevy Woods</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">187624</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Wiz Khalifa Headlines National Cannabis Festival In Spring 2022</title> <link>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-headlines-national-cannabis-festival-in-spring-2022/</link> <comments>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-headlines-national-cannabis-festival-in-spring-2022/?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hazey Taughtme]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 13 Jan 2022 13:59:58 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[NEWS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ghostface killah]]></category> <category><![CDATA[National Cannabis Festival]]></category> <category><![CDATA[washington dc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wiz Khalifa]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wiz Khalifa cannabis brand]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blackcannabismagazine.com/?p=112858</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The National Cannabis Festival is the East Coast’s largest cannabis celebration.

But once that’sdone, Gage will develop and promote a line of the rapper’s Khalifa Kush premium weed. On his part, Khalifa plans to be involved in cultivation, branding, distribution, consumer interaction, and other operations. The products would be sold at Gage’s centers.</p> <p>Of the partnership, Khalifa said, “We are excited to partner with Gage for our first expansion into the Midwest, and to finally release KK to my fans in Michigan. From day one of Khalifa Kush, we have only partnered with people we align with, who focus on customer and quality over everything, and Gage is one of the best.”</p> <p>Khalifa Kush is available in pre-rolls, flower, vapes, concentrates and edibles. The strain was developed for the artist’s personal use. In 2014, Wiz decided to take the blend to the cannabis market. It would be two years before his weedfound itself on the shelves at Tryke’s Reef Dispensaries. Soon, his products would be available in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.</p> <p>Gage Cannabis provides recreational marijuana dispensaries, giving its customers access to carefully chosen adult-use cannabis products. The arrangement with Khalifa includes a license to produce and sell specific Khalifa Kush branded products. Right now, the agreement with the rapper stands for five years.</p> <p>The company also has an exclusive agreement with Cali rapper Berner and his Cookies brand.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-expanding-kush-brand-into-michigan-with-gage-growth/">Wiz Khalifa Expanding Kush Brand Into Michigan with Gage Growth</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/wiz-khalifa-expanding-kush-brand-into-michigan-with-gage-growth/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">31561</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss> <!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache.
