Snoop Dogg, the renowned rapper and cannabis icon, has taken his love for the green herb to a whole new level. In a recent appearance on the popular talk show *Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen*, Snoop revealed that he has a dedicated member of his entourage who acts as a ‘high monitor’ to ensure his smoking partners don’t get too high.
The conversation started when Andy Cohen, the host, asked Snoop who he thought was the most lightweight cannabis consumer he’d ever smoked with. Snoop, with a playful grin, responded, “There’s so many of them, they’re featherweights.” He added, “Why don’t you come join me so I can add you to the list?” Cohen, who had previously joined Snoop for a smoking session, reminded the audience that Snoop has a system in place to prevent overindulgence.
According to Cohen, Snoop has “a guy” who steps in when people have reached their limit, telling them to stop. Snoop confirmed this, stating that the unnamed staffer’s role is to ensure that nobody gets “too stoned.” This revelation has sparked curiosity about who this “high monitor” is and how they navigate the tricky situation of managing Snoop’s smoking crew.
It’s worth noting that Snoop has previously revealed that he has a dedicated blunt roller on his payroll, earning a hefty $50,000 annually. This, coupled with Snoop’s legendary cannabis consumption (he estimates he smokes 81 blunts a day!), highlights the significant role marijuana plays in his life and the intricate system he has developed to manage it.
While Snoop’s cannabis culture influence continues to dominate pop culture, 2024 has been a busy year for him in more than just entertainment. In addition to his role as a guest meteorologist on the *TODAY Show* (where he presented a marijuana-themed weather map!), Snoop has expanded his cannabis business globally.
In July, after carrying the ceremonial torch at the Olympics and providing commentary for NBC, Snoop announced the opening of a cannabis coffeehouse in Amsterdam. This followed shortly after the launch of his flagship shop in Los Angeles, solidifying his place as a major player in the cannabis business world.
Beyond his recreational use, Snoop has also been a vocal advocate for cannabis reform, particularly in the realm of sports. He has called for policy changes that would allow NBA players to use cannabis off the court, citing its potential medical benefits as an alternative to opioids. In an interview last year, Snoop expressed his support for cannabis use in sports for pain relief, stating, “It could actually help ease the opioids and all the pills that they’ve been given and the injections.”
Snoop Dogg’s multifaceted relationship with cannabis continues to evolve, captivating the public with his unique blend of entertainment, business ventures, and social activism. From his personal “high monitor” to his global cannabis empire, Snoop remains a true icon of the cannabis culture, pushing boundaries and advocating for change, one blunt at a time.
