When you think about celebrities who are huge proponents of legalized marijuana, you might come up with names like Rihanna, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Jack Black, and Woody Harrelson. Yet, the one name that will likely end up on everybody’s list is Snoop Dogg.
As Celebrity Net Worth puts it “The fun loving, dreadlock rocking, 40-something-year-old rapper is essentially a walking advertisement for the plant, eschewing the “pothead” stereotype and proving to the world that weed smokers can be productive members of society as well!”
Snoop has turned the tables on traditional stereotypical pothead behavior once again. Instead of weed turning his brain to mush and causing him to sit idly upon his sofa and burn through his cash on more weed and munchies, the rap legend has invested in the plant’s future. Casa Verde Capital, Snoop Dogg’s investment company, recently put a large sum of money into a company called Eaze.
Eaze calls itself the “Uber” of weed. The company is a legit medical marijuana delivery service. Sensing the payout in legal pot activities, Snoop Dogg started a website, merryjane.com, devoted to weed. Users can search the site for anything related to the plant from growing, smoking, buying, and selling. It is a website for users and for the business-minded, and will also seek to line up users with buyers.
Celebrity Net Worth reports that “at the TeleCrunch Disrupt Conference in San Francisco [Snoop Dogg said]: “We will be like the encyclopedia to the cannabis world.” Snoop says that he believes marijuana will be legal in at least half of the U.S. states by 2020 and the number will only grow from there.
They always say that you should follow your passion. Snoop Dogg sure has a passion for weed. In fact, he told Jimmy Kimmel that he smoked a blunt in the white house. Actually it was “In the bathroom. Not in the White House, but in the bathroom. Because I said, ‘May I use the bathroom for a second?’ And they said, ‘What are you going to do? No. 1 or No. 2?’ I said, ‘No. 2.’”
The man knows his music and how to make money; time will tell if he was right on America’s pot indulgence.
