When it comes to honoring loved ones, most people stick to flowers or a heartfelt speech. But YouTube star Rosanna Pansino took things to a jaw-dropping level. In her new podcast Rodiculous, she revealed that she fulfilled her late father’s dying wish—by smoking marijuana grown from his ashes. Yes, you read that correctly.
Pansino’s father, affectionately known as “Papa Pizza,” passed away from leukemia five years ago. Before his death, he made a highly unconventional request: to have his ashes mixed with soil to grow a cannabis plant, which Pansino would then smoke. “It was his way of staying with us,” she said. “He was always a little rebellious, and this felt like a fitting tribute.”
Initially, the internet reacted with shock. One fan commented, “Wait… what did I just read?!” But as more details emerged, people started to see the heartfelt reasoning behind it. “It’s not about being wild,” Pansino explained. “It’s about love, family, and honoring his wishes.”
Whether you see it as bizarre or beautiful, one thing is certain: this is one of the most unique tributes you’ll ever hear. Curious? You’re not alone.
