SITTING DOWN WITH KATIE “OG PEACHIE” WIMBUSH-POLK

From bringing weed to her first day in the Air Force to standing up for those without a voice, Peachie’s story is one of kindness, conviction and a love of weed—all in pursuit of leaving the world a better place than she found it.

Katie Wimbush-Polk—known to her fans and family as OG Peachie—is many things to many people.

She’s a proud Pittsburgh native whose relationship with cannabis started more than 40 years ago. She’s the mother of renowned celebrity and rapper, Wiz Khalifa—the pair used to wake n bake in the mornings together before heading off to work and school.

She’s an activist who speaks out on injustice and guides those who are looking for more wellness in their lives. And, she came out of the pandemic as a twice-published author.

Wherever she goes, whatever she does, the world is a better place for it.

OG Peachie was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the middle of the civil rights movement, something she credits for her deep relationship with activism. To this day, her first memory of community is of the National Guard occupation of her neighborhood following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in April of 1968. 

The name, which many ask about, is a combination of a childhood nickname and the term coined by her grandchildren.
