Notice how many gendarmes (military police) officers are escorting him. For one joint!

Is the law he broke stupid? Yes. Is he stupid for breaking the law on stage? Yes.

Wait, Wiz Khalifa is a dude? I always thought it was a woman...

Once you break laws flagrantly live in front of a huge group of people... You have entered politics.

The number of officers seems appropriate, show of force to prevent the crowd from turning against them.

Here's hoping the publicity boosts his career and encourages discussions about legalisation of weed in Romania.

If it was in a private venue, why were the police allowed in?

@delirious_owl not really private, but rather a music festival. It's a large gathering so the police and the ambulances are on duty to make sure everything is going alright.
