Wiz Khalifa has been arrested for smoking weed on stage at "Beach, Please!": a hiphop music festival held in Romania. Risking up to ten years in prison.
In the country, in fact, cannabis is considered one "high risk drug". But unaware of all this, the American rapper did not hesitate to smoke a joint in front of an audience of over 80 thousand people. Triggering the reaction of the police.
Which, as you can see from videos reposted by HighTimes, they surrounded Wiz as soon as he got off the stage, inviting him to follow them.
“He owned it over 18 grams of cannabis and consumed another quantity of cannabis in the form of a homemade cigarette,” reads from press release from DIICOT, who initiated criminal proceedings against the 36-year-old artist.

Wiz Khalifa in Romania: first arrested for cannabis and then freedom
All's well that ends well. After an initial conversation with the authorities, Wiz Khalifa has been cleared. Free to leave the country.
"I didn't want to disrespect Romania by smoking on stage", commented on X the following day. "They were very respectful to let me go. I'll be back soon. But without a big rod next time."
