Out of all the colors of weed, Wayne only smokes the purple kind aka “creeper weed” – popular in the South
Weezy will literally smoke purple out of the rainbow – as in he’ll smoke so much purple it’ll disappear from the spectrum (remember that both indigo and violet are purplish – so there’s lots of purple in the rainbow..)
the rainbow can also be an array of drugs as in all of the colors in the rainbow, and out of that rainbow of drugs he will only smoke weed. also that he wants purple weed as well, WHO DOESN’T!! LOL
