Wiz Khalifa broke down his strict smoking routine while on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week.

The Kush + Orange Juice 2 rapper sat down with Kimmel, and around the 1:30 mark of the video below, he was asked whether it was true that he smokes 30 joints per day.

"Yeah, yeah," Wiz confirmed.

He also revealed that he sleeps six hours nightly, so when Kimmel did the math, he deduced that the rapper probably smokes "one and three-quarter joints an hour."

"Yeah, that's not bad at all," Wiz agreed.

Wiz also admitted that he'll smoke multiple joints in one hour and have none the next because of "working out" and being on daddy duty to two children.

"I'm doing a lot of different things," Wiz said, before sharing that his daughter, Kaydence, will be 1 next month. He also has a 12-year-old son, Bash.

The "Flirt Season" artist also credits himself as an "amazing" baseball coach but makes sure not to smoke on the field.

"Somebody put it a really good way the other day," Wiz told Kimmel. "They said it's like a mental exercise, like, you smoke and then you just challenge yourself to do normal things throughout the day."

Wiz didn't want to advise kids to start smoking, although he said he started "pretty early," meaning in his teens.

"It was just for for music purposes, like, being in the studio and hanging around
other musicians it was just the thing to do," Wiz said. "It kind of became something that, you know, later on in life helped me to get through a lot of things."

Wiz counted Snoop Dogg and B-Real among his smoking peers and recalled that country-folk legend Willie Nelson once rolled him a joint that he didn't get to smoke. The Pittsburgh native also shared that he rolls his own joints throughout the day, saying that the job is "always there."

In comparison, Snoop has his own professional blunt roller, who ensures that the D.O.G.G. has up to 150 joints per day.

Kimmel later pulled out a picture of Wiz smoking from an orange and asked the rapper what other fruits he could make a pipe out of.

Although he prefers "round fruits," Wiz agreed he would smoke from a pineapple but "wouldn't try" a banana, calling it "too mushy." Wiz deemed a coconut an "amazing" option "because it comes with water in it already."

Also in the episode, Wiz played coy about believing the flat Earth theory.
