Cannabis lover Wiz Khalifa - Arrest in Rumania during appearance

Wiz Khalifa (36) enjoys smoking a joint, which is no longer a secret. Not only on his social media channels, but also during his performances, he publicly celebrates the consumption of Marijuana. However, things went wrong at Wiz Khalifa's concert on the "Beach, Please!" Festival in Costinescu, Romania, over the past weekend.

Arrest on stage

Since Cannabis is banned in Romania, the musician was arrested by the police on the spot. Videos circulating on social media show Wiz Khalifa smoking a joint first. He was allowed to finish his set afterwards, but was then arrested on stage by officers.

The musician is now free, as he revealed on his X-Account (formerly Twitter). "The show last night was incredible. I did not want to disrespect the country Romania by smoking on stage," he wrote on the microblogging service after the incident. The police treated him "very respectfully" and released him. The cannabis lover seems to have learned from his mistake: "I will be back soon. But the next time without a giant joint."

More than 18 grams in his possession

Marijuana is considered a risk drug in Romania - consumption, possession, and cultivation are all prohibited. The Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism of Romania therefore announced that an American citizen was being investigated for the possession of risk substances. More than 18 grams of grass were found at the checkpoint, and a significant amount was consumed in the form of a joint on stage.
