Snoop’s decision to quit smoking marks a significant shift in the rapper , actor and entrepreneurs persona, easily recognized as an Ambassador of Cannabis and heavily intertwined with the advocacy of weed.  Leafs By Snoop is a cannabis brand owned and promoted by the rapper Snoop Dogg and produced by Canopy Growth Corporation .

Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus Jr., has invested in multiple cannabis start-ups including OCT through his venture capital firm Casa Verde. His firm has also backed plant-based food companies such as Outstanding Foods and tech names like Klarna, Robinhood and Reddit.

Over the years, Snoop’s name has become almost synonymous with marijuana. His early rise to stardom, marked by his appearance on Dr. Dre’s iconic 1993 album ‘ The Chronic’, cemented the association. This choice, though personal, could be a persuasive statement to his fans and followers about prioritizing health over habit.

It’s easy to remember Snoop lighting up on stages, in music videos, or during interviews, his unwavering loyalty to cannabis sativa always evident whether if it was the Chronic Album’s signature stamp pot leaf he popularized, which smokers raise proud like their beloved home flag or cooking with Martha Stewart . His rap ode’s to Weed and his ritualistic twist up will never be forgotten.

It’s been a defining aspect of his public image. Yet, it’s important to remember that behind the cloud of smoke is a man, making a conscious and commendable decision to prioritize his health. This decision is not one of abandonment, but of evolution. As fans, we are privy to this evolution and it’s our responsibility to support him, rather than question his choice. Let’s respect this monumental decision of his and support him through this critical transition.

As we’ve stood by him through his music, we as true fans should by Snoop now through this personal journey. His decision is a testament to the fact that it’s never too late to embrace change for the better, no matter what your definition of better may be.
