Snoop Dogg, who has built a public persona around his copious marijuana intake, says he is giving up smoking. The hip-hop star, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, made the surprise announcement on social media. "After much consideration & conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time,” he posted on Instagram, external and X., external He did not specify what form of smoking he was stopping, or even whether he was serious. Some fans speculated that the post was part of a marketing stunt for his cannabis company Leafs By Snoop. Others reacted with disbelief. “Today isn’t April Fools day Snoop,” said one. “Snoop without smoke is like earth without water," added another. Ro Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley, commented: "No more BBQ at uncle's... the grill is off for the season." Snoop's cannabis intake has been well-documented in his music and interviews. The rapper, 52, made his debut on Dr Dre's 1992 album The Chronic, whose title is a slang name for high quality marijuana. Over the years, his lyrics have contained multiple references to the habit. "We gon' smoke an ounce to this," he rapped on his solo single Gin And Juice. The Dr Dre collaboration The Next Episode - which opened the Super Bowl half-time show in 2022 - carried the observation: "Smoke weed every day." In 2013, speaking to GQ magazine, the artist said he was smoking 80 cannabis joints a day. His founded Leafs By Snoop two years later. The company specialises in making its own cannabis strains, concentrates, flowers, and edibles.
80 blunts a day, why am I troubled by that? 60mins in an hour times 24 hours 1440 mins in a day 1440mins/(divides into) 80 blunts 18 = 1 blunt every 18mins 24 hours a day 3 blunts at a time to make up for sleep?
That's definitely not true. 80 blunts a day with the type of weed he smokes he would be sleep everyday. There's not enough time in the day for one person to smoke 80 blunts.
How much he smokes a day has always been way over exaggerated. Even he has commented about how ridiculous it would be if he was actually smoking the amount of weed people thinks he smokes. Sent from my LM-X420 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Exactly it's not possible to smoke 80 blunts a day. There is not enough time for one person to smoke that much.
I also found it funny it said he quit smoking weed but then he'd like people to respect his privacy at this time. What the fuck lmao? You quit smoking weed, it's not like someone died. Sent from my LM-X420 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I'm wondering if they didn't come to that figure by just like taking total grams smoked. Maybe he has his mate roll up like 20 big ass 4+ gram blunts every morning, and he basically just lights them and passes amongst his crew all day long as he goes about his day, still a ton of bud to be smoking daily, but thats about the only way I could see someone consuming that much regularly. (I'm assuming he has the cash that someone else is probably driving him around to where he wants to go most days anyway, so he could probably be perpetually high without too much inconvenience) Either that or I can totally rip 4-5 grams in 10 minutes if I pre-pack a few bowls, but then I'm likely to be coughing for the next 30 minutes, and I couldn't imagine doing that like 15+ times per day either. My guess is he will switch to (and probably be heavily endorsing) some form of vape, edibles or volcano-like device in the near future.
I Hope He Not. He Just Wouldnt Be The Same. Snoop Gotta Be High Lol. Thas How I Always Remember Him Is Smokin Weed Alot. ~Toni~
He must have iron lungs. If he stopped today there would still be enuf thc in his system to last a while. It seems we hear about him quitting every so often. Weed aint what he is, in my book, it's what he does. Whatever keeps him healthy & happy. Double G
People always seem to forget how busy of a person snoop is with all the shit he does. With concerts, and TV show appearances, and commercials, and banging Martha Stewart, and everything else. You really think he's got time to smoke that much weed a day and still be a functioning human being, lmao c'mon! Sent from my LM-X420 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
My guess is that, it’s like an attraction…to smoke with snoop is like my aunt getting with Elvis…so he has a bag of blunts (he has a full time blunt roller) and whenever someone comes up on him, he sparks up a blunt and passes it on…
See…everyone wants to smoke with snoop…I would smoke with him, but I wouldn’t share the same Blunt with him. Who knows what kind of shit he caught smoking with everyone
Lol...I Would Also Get High With Willie Nelson Too BC Snoop Has Before Too An Probably Many Other Celebs Who Get High That ICR ATM. ~Toni~
Snoop is amazing. Whatever he wants to do, I support him. I agree with some posters here though, he may just be stopping with smoking but not quitting weed altogether. Either way I wish him the best.
Snoop is NOT giving up smoking weed! This is an advertisement for a fire pit. Snoop will still be Snoop and Toni, me and Snoop are going to met up in heaven, sit around a firepit and pass a blunt. It doesn't get any better than that!
