Grammy-nominated Wiz Khalifa was in Pittsburgh and Washington County on December 12 promoting not music, but his newest business venture: medical marijuana - since recreational marijuana use is currently illegal in Pennsylvania, his recreational brand could not make it a step further.

Wiz developed his brand Khalifa Kush in the early 2010s in California and claimed to have tailored the tastes according to his preference.

There are currently 21 states where recreational cannabis is legal, while Pennsylvania is not on the list. Wiz, a Pittsburgh native, says he's "moving and grooving" to lobby more states to legalize marijuana use as he has been doing for over a decade. In June 2015, Wiz was fined for drug possession charges, while he uploaded a selfie in prison, which went viral on the internet.

Washington Policy Media Flags Surge: China’s Monthly Vape Exports Jump from 2.2M Kg to 14.8M Kg; Crackdown Effectiveness Questioned

The Washington Examiner on December 9, 2025, reported: China's vape export volume to the U.S. rebounded sharply from 2.2 million kilograms to 14.8 million kilograms despite the crackdown. This volatility, confirming the annual multi-billion dollar trade gap, is the "Bullwhip Effect" in action. It transfers massive inventory to the U.S. market, putting the working capital of Chinese manufacturers and the supply chain at severe risk of lock-up and failure. Regulatory escalation is now imminent.

Echo Guo: The Accumulating Risks Behind the Surge in Chinese Vape Exports to the U.S.

Chinese vape exports to the U.S. jumped from about 2.2 million kg in June to 14.8 million kg in October 2025, despite tougher enforcement, the Washington Examiner reported. 2Firsts finds the surge reflects delayed bulk shipments, not demand recovery. With U.S. inventory exceeding 160 million devices and distributors paying ~10% upfront, cash-flow stress has shifted to Chinese manufacturers, and discounted stock is spilling into other markets.
