Wiz Khalifa can't smoke weed until he recovers from dental surgery

by Jeremy Mersereau

Thankfully, we live in the era in which absolutely every piece of pop culture ephemera is recorded in hi-def, so the world will never have to experience the absence of a melodramatic social media video in which Wiz Khalifa gets his wisdom teeth removed.

Watching this thing, you’d think Wiz was starring in a Lifetime movie about brain cancer rather than a routine surgery that millions undergo every year. Come for the inspirational piano music, stay for the gross footage of Wiz fondling his own teeth in a Ziploc bag.

There’s no substitute for relief from the pain impacted wisdom teeth, but great relief comes at a great cost, particularly if you’re someone whose personal brand revolved around being high 24/7:

Stay strong, Wiz. We’re all praying for you.
