Bobbi Althoff opens up about panic after smoking for the first time with Wiz Khalifa on podcast

Podcast host and social media personality Bobbi Althoff had an unexpected reaction during a recent episode of The Really Good Podcast, when she smoked for the first time while interviewing rapper and cannabis advocate Wiz Khalifa.

Known for her awkward and deadpan interview style, Althoff agreed to try cannabis on camera — something she had never done before. However, shortly after smoking with Khalifa, she began experiencing a wave of panic that she later described as overwhelming and anxiety-inducing.

The moment quickly caught attention online, with fans and viewers sharing clips of Althoff visibly uncomfortable and trying to process the experience mid-interview. In a follow-up post, Althoff admitted that she underestimated how intense the effects could be, saying, “That was genuinely terrifying. I thought I was going to die.”

Wiz Khalifa, who is widely associated with cannabis culture, handled the situation calmly, even offering reassurance and humor to lighten the mood. The viral clip has sparked a mix of reactions, with some viewers praising Althoff for being open about her reaction, while others debated whether the moment was appropriate or simply good content.

The episode has since gone viral, racking up views across platforms and further cementing Althoff’s reputation for unpredictable and unfiltered interviews.
