Snoop Dogg giving up 'smoke' sparks conversation in cannabis community

Hip-Hop legend Snoop Dogg has decided to “give up smoke,” per an Instagram post Thursday. It’s left fans — and the internet — shocked.

Snoop didn’t elaborate on exactly what he means by “give up smoke.” CBS 8 sat down with nationally-recognized cannabis lifestyle reporter Jackie Bryant who is based in San Diego, to see if she might know what Snoop is thinking.

“It was an interesting post for a few reasons,” she said. “There’s a lot of thinly-veiled cannabis culture language in there.”

Bryant is a Managing Editor of San Diego Magazine. She explains in a piece Friday what this transition could mean for cannabis smokers.

    Who cares? What kind of news is this? Shallow society and lack of reality check.

    Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) causes the manufacturing of dendrites ( the wrinkles in your brain). This is not good, in that it’s like empty hallways in your brain. In the long run, you LITERALLY become slower, physically & mentally. These dendrites do not go away, so actually, a pretty terrible thing to inhale in your body. Phycology 101.😀🤯🥴



  15. RodPartyof6 on November 19, 2023 at 1:14 am

    He said smoke. He didn’t say anything about edibles or vaping. 😂



  16. Lando Oliver on November 19, 2023 at 1:15 am

    No matter what smoke
    You are putting in your lungs and that’s not healthy point



  17. Jeff Dur on November 19, 2023 at 1:15 am

    He’s starting a new line of edibles.

    Each person has their own path. I did the same for booze. I wasn’t a slobber drunk or anything but sometimes you just want to stick to sobriety and keeping a clear head. Especially if you have a growing family. I don’t fault those that do smoke or drink.



  20. Luis Oliva on November 19, 2023 at 1:24 am

    😂😂😂

    Snoop is infamous for smoking, but he certainly did not get famous from smoking. 🙄



  27. MurkazGaming on November 19, 2023 at 1:35 am

    Bro’s going to be high for the next decade anyway 🤣🤣



  28. John Smith on November 19, 2023 at 1:37 am

    WAIT!
    Are you telling me that smoking and drinking and doing every illegal drug known to man is BAD?
    Why didn’t somebody tell these people that before they destroyed all their brain cells and ruined their lungs?
    Why was this whole "don’t do drugs" thing kept a big secret all this time?
    Umm, hey there Mr Wizzard, ever heard the expression SPEED KILLS?
    That was from back in the 70’s.
    What do you think killed JIMI HENDRIX?
    See, people have been telling you not to do drugs for MILLIONS OF YEARS!
    Drug and alcohol use didn’t work out well for Jim Morrison.
    It didn’t end well for Prince.
    It got Tom Petty!
    In fact, drugs and alcohol have been killing people ever since drugs and alcohol were invented!
    You were just too stupid to realize it.
    Now, this man here just figured it out.
    Which is simply amazing, considering how he only has three working brain cells left.

    He got famous for smoking, but as a little side job he’s also a world-famous multimillion dollar rapper/movie star.



  30. ProtoDG on November 19, 2023 at 1:41 am

    Publicity stunt. You don’t need to tell the whole world to quit.

    You don’t have to light up to enjoy the benefits of cannabis.

  40. buzztrucker on November 19, 2023 at 1:50 am

    Well for many people smoking is not vaping…. so there’s that.

    This is just probably some marketing Ploy by Snoop to make some money off some new line of cannabis products he endorses

    Most likely either some type of marketing strategy or he received some scarry health scare from his doctor.
