"Some musicians just bring marijuana to mind. Willie Nelson has never hidden his taste for it. And in the rap world Wiz Khalifa, the "Black and Yellow" rapper from Pittsburgh, has never been coy in his rhymes about his love of illegal smokes.Wiz is headlining Jones Beach this summer.So it came as little surprise when the police in Winston-Salem, N.C., gave tickets to Wiz Khalifa and members of his band for possession of marijuana after a concert on Tuesday, The Associated Press reported, the second time in two weeks the rapper has been charged with possessing the drug."

Weed and Hip-Hop is like Hummus and Pita triangles.
They are undeniable combinations.

Weed is not a drug!
Pharmaceuticals like erection pills are drugs.
The Man is always going to be The Man.

The rent is too damn high! I need to smoke to figure out how to earn money nigga!

Whenever I run out of that sticky-icky weed, I have often times packed a few chickpeas in my pipe. The high isn't bad... Those phyto-nutrients are certainly effective by such administration. Try it out!

The only people who find lame munchies jokes amusing are people who've smoked themselves to three brain cells left.

OBVIOUSLY, when I have the munchies I always reach for that familiar tan substance we all cherish around here. It really satisfies too.
