Snoop Dogg has announced his decision to “give up smoke” in a concise statement shared on social media, citing careful consideration and discussions with his family as the driving factors behind this choice. While additional context was not immediately provided, the rapper and entrepreneur has been synonymous with cannabis culture for years.
In 2020, Snoop Dogg received the Clio Cannabis Awards’ Lifetime Achievement distinction, recognizing his enduring influence on the cannabis industry. His contributions include the Merry Jane brand, the Leafs by Snoop product line, and the Casa Verde firm, which he co-founded with Ted Chung.
Snoop’s publicized cannabis experiences, often involving high-profile figures, have regularly made headlines. Notably, Ed Sheeran shared an account of a memorable smoke session in October, featuring Snoop Dogg, Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe, and himself. The rapper’s affinity for marijuana has been a subject of speculation, with occasional corrections, as recently as September.
In a 2021 interview with Speedy, Snoop attempted to quantify his lifetime cannabis consumption, estimating that he had smoked over 650,000 joints and 420,000 blunts up to that point. The rapper’s decision to give up smoking marks a significant shift in his public persona, considering his long-standing association with cannabis culture and industry.
