YouTuber Rosanna Pansino fulfilled her father’s dying wish—to be grown as a marijuana plant and smoked. The internet star shared in her new podcast “Rodiculous” that her father, who died five years ago, wanted his ashes to be mixed in with soil and grown into a marijuana plant. She said that her mom was at first a bit hesitant, but as time went on, they decided to go for it. “We just really think that it’s the right time to do what dad wanted and to honor him the way he wanted,” Pansino said. At the beginning of the episode, she showed footage of her and her mom planting the marijuana with his ashes, and called the backyard occasion “emotional and special.” Pansino held a pink joint, saying that she couldn’t believe she was doing this while laughing. She was joined later in the episode by her mom and sister, who smoked the special strain off-camera. “The blunt that we smoked was delicious,” Pansino said after the smoke sesh. “If Papa Pizza could see this... he would get a huge kick out of this.”
