Wiz Khalifa said Friday that he wants marijuana legalized and he wants everyone to know it, so he's not apologizing for that gesture on the Pirates pitching mound."I stand for pot. I go for it everywhere that I'm at," said Khalifa.Wiz Khalifa said his motion on the mound; as if he was smoking marijuana; should have been expected. He was wearing a shirt that read "legalize it" when he arrived to throw out the Pirates first pitch."When you invite me you know that's what you inviting," said Khalifa "It is what it is, but at the end of the day, legalize it."A representative from Major League Baseball said that action was not anticipated. "Marijuana is a prohibited substance in all of our drug programs and it is unfortunate this situation occurred. The pirates have informed us that this should not have happened," said Pat Courtney.Wiz Khalifa has been known for expressing his feelings about marijuana. In 2012, when Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto announced Wiz Khalifa Day during city council, Khalifa was wearing a hat that read "Dope."Khalifa said the legalization of marijuana is something he won't remain silent over."We need it here in Pittsburgh for sure," said Khalifa. "There are a lot of people in Pittsburgh who agree with that message,"
