Snoop Dogg Announces Decision to Give Up Smoking Marijuana
In a surprising announcement, rapper Snoop Dogg, also known as Calvin Broadus, revealed on Instagram that he has decided to give up smoking marijuana. The rapper, who has been open about his love for weed and has even claimed to have smoked in the White House, shared the news with his 82.5 million followers on the social media platform.
“After much consideration & conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke,” Snoop Dogg wrote in his Instagram post. He also requested privacy at this time, indicating that this decision is a personal one.
The news may come as a shock to some, as Snoop Dogg has been associated with marijuana for much of his career. He has not only been vocal about his love for weed but has also ventured into the cannabis industry with businesses like “Merry Jane,” a pot-focused media company, and a line of cannabis products. Additionally, he has invested in Casa Verde Capital, a venture capital firm that supports marijuana start-ups.
Snoop Dogg’s love for weed has also made headlines for other reasons. In 2019, he revealed that he had a full-time staffer whose sole job was to roll his blunts, and in 2021, he disclosed on Reddit that he has 81 smoke breaks a day.
CNN has reached out to Snoop Dogg’s representative for comment on his decision to give up smoking marijuana. The rapper’s announcement has sparked discussions and reactions among fans and the public, with many expressing surprise at his unexpected decision.
