Wiz, who has been a long and avid user of the herb, states that despite the negative press marijuana has had, it is not as bad.
“We had years of people demonizing it got over that now it’s starting again and I’m naturally fighting against cause like i always said weed isn’t that bad,” he added.

The “Black and Yellow” rapper also vehemently discredited information about weed making users lazy.
“Out of no where people got this wack ass 1970’s agenda that weed makes you “lazy” and I’m not letting that get pushed,” he tweeted.
