In American cities like Indianapolis, New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Chicago, a brand new option is rolling out on delivery apps such as UberEats, DoorDash, Postmates, and Grubhub. The new Wiz Khalifa restaurant seeks to provide members of the stoner community with options to satisfy the cannabis-induced ‘munchies.’
Called HotBox by Wiz, the establishment will feature a menu with many comfort-food classics like BBQ burnt ends, mac and cheese, a turkey burger, etc. Beginning in several cities on October 1st, people can order Khalifa’s handpicked menu items straight to their house or apartment step.
The restaurant concept is new to the scene in 2020. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many restaurants have had to go completely virtual or delivery-based. A company in Denver is working with Khalifa to get his restaurant up and running. Customers will never go to a physical location to pick up or eat their food; instead, they will only be able to order it online.
Wiz Khalifa and Cannabis
The famous rapper is no stranger to the world of cannabis. Even since the beginning of his career and fame, he has been open about his cannabis use. His songs like “Rolling Papers,” “Medicated,” and “Kush & Orange Juice” are just a few examples of songs that promote the drug.
On top of regularly producing music, he uses his platform to speak openly about his use of various forms of marijuana. He has started multiple successful businesses that seek to provide the public with options for accessing it on their own. On top of that, he partners with multiple cannabis producers and sings openly about use of weed products in his music. He has associated with a line of rolling papers called RAW and partnered with RiverRock Cannabis, which produces a line of strains that the rapper curated himself. Additionally, he created a weed cultivation simulation game that teaches app users the ins and outs of growing and harvesting weed.
Khalifa is known as one of the most powerful influencers in the stoner community. He unabashedly assisted in the legalization of marijuana across America. In one interview, he talks about how the use of the drug helped him get through high school by making the days more tolerable. In another interview, Khalifa stated that even his parents support his use of the drug.
Through the opening of HotBox, Khalifa is excited to continue down the path of normalizing cannabis use. While once taboo, the new stoner themed will continue breaking down the barriers and assumptions regarding marijuana use in America.
Understanding Cannabis
The use of weed and cannabis products is nothing new to humankind. In fact, some report it has been in use for over 12,000 years. Many civilizations utilized the plant for its healing powers.
For newbies, understanding the cannabis plant and its many parts can be confusing. Recently, CBD is rising in popularity since it’s easy to use and understand. CBD stands for cannabinoids which are the chemical compounds that travel through the bloodstream. The cannabinoids are not psychoactive, meaning they don’t provide high-like effects. CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Options of consumption are expanding quickly. Flowers, concentrates, and edibles are just a few ways that the drug can be consumed. Flowers are used through joints or bongs. Concentrates are consumed through vaporization or by dabbing. Edibles are increasing in popularity by the day. They can come in the form of cakes, chocolate, brownies, gum, suckers, and more. Though smoking was the most popular use traditionally, options like edibles and concentrates are appealing to new users.
The Stoner Community in America
According to Dictionary.com, the definition of a stoner is “a person who regularly takes drugs, especially marijuana.” The number of these regular cannabis users in America increases each day. Weed is becoming mainstream as it is listed as the number one illicit drug used by the American public. In July 2020, over 22 million people reported its use. The drug is becoming readily available to the wider population and producers are working day and night to bring options to the American public.
The community of users in the U.S. is only expected to increase as awareness of this powerful drug raises. While there used to be negative connotations associated with the drug’s use, many campaigns are seeking to normalize it through promoting medical marijuana and other benefits.
There are numerous benefits that the use of the drug provides:
- Relief for chronic pain
- Diabetes prevention
- Weight loss
- Depression and anxiety treatment
- Autism treatment
- And many more…
HotBox by Wiz is expected to keep rolling out locations for this new restaurant throughout 2020. Fans will soon be able to view the menu and order from the new Wiz Khalifa restaurant. For those looking to get started with marijuana and CBD use, you can get CBD coupons here or on many internet sites.
