Snoop Dogg is "giving up smoke."
In a brief statement issued via social media on Thursday, Snoop told fans he had arrived at this decision "after much consideration and conversation with my family."
Additional context wasn't immediately provided.
In 2020, Snoop was honored with the Clio Cannabis Awards' Lifetime Achievement distinction for his longtime association with, and undeniable impact on, the wide world of cannabis. As noted at the time of that award's unveiling, Snoop's business contributions to cannabis include the Merry Jane brand and his Leafs by Snoop line, not to mention his and Ted Chung's Casa Verde firm.
Stories about smoking with Snoop have become a frequent source of headlines over the years, including this October's extensive coverage of Ed Sheeran's eyesight-altering experience with a blunt. Per Sheeran, this particular smoke session included Snoop, Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe, and himself.
