Famously known for his love of cannabis, Snoop Dogg recently made a surprising statement on Instagram that left his fans both puzzled and concerned. In a heartfelt post, he announced his decision to step away from smoking, urging everyone to “respect his privacy” during this time.


Is Snoop Dogg Going to Quit Smoking Weed?

In a comedic Instagram post, the 52-year-old rapper announced his decision to quit smoking with a solemn tribute. Interestingly, Snoop Dogg’s statement didn’t explicitly mention quitting cannabis, leaving room for interpretation given the popularity of his cannabis-infused edibles.

Renowned for his advocacy of marijuana, Snoop Dogg has a history of associating himself with cannabis-related businesses and once claimed to smoke 81 joints daily, even having a personal blunt roller.

Earlier this year, Snoop Dogg revealed a change in his habits, citing that becoming a grandfather had prompted him to reconsider his lifestyle choices. In an interview, he emphasized the impact of his grandchildren on his perspective, expressing a desire to take precautionary measures in his life choices to witness them grow old.


While marijuana has long been considered relatively harmless, recent studies have shed light on potential cognitive impairments associated with its use. Research suggests that marijuana might have more detrimental effects than previously thought, raising concerns about its impact on cognitive abilities based on large-scale longitudinal studies.

Fans Are Not Buying Snoop Dogg’s Announcement

Snoop Dogg’s recent decision to quit smoking, shared via social media, has left fans divided and doubtful. The sincerity of his message, accompanied by a serious black and white photo and his distinctive signature, triggered speculation among his followers.

However, skepticism flooded the comments section of his post, with fans showing disbelief and humor regarding the authenticity of Snoop Dogg’s pledge. Some questioned whether his statement regarding giving up “smoke” might indicate a shift towards alternative forms of marijuana, predicting possible ventures into the edibles market. Others rallied behind the rapper, praising his move as potentially beneficial for his health, and showing support for his choice.


Some could not help but wonder if this was a jest or a temporary shift. Despite the earnestness of his words, many were cautious, expecting a twist in the tale. “Is this a setup for a punchline?” asked one follower, while another speculated, “Maybe he’ll claim his account got hacked in a couple of days.” Others humorously pondered if he meant quitting smoking meat instead.
