Snoop Dogg has opened the doors to his first-ever licensed weed dispensary in California. Check out the details below.Named S.W.E.D, an acronym for the rapper’s catchphrase “Smoke Weed Every Day”, the dispensary launched earlier this month (July 14) with a range of products including cannabis, edibles, concentrates, and weed-infused creams, baths, and lotions.The dispensary, which is located in the heart of Los Angeles, also offers delivery services. “So, sit back, relax, and let us bring the “California Love” to you,” the website reads.In celebration of S.W.E.D’s opening, Snoop also launched a range of cannabis honouring the late rapper Tupac, who famously gave the artist his first blunt.
Snoop recalled the story when he inducted Tupac into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.“That first blunt sparked a friendship that ran deep,” Snoop said in a statement. “We’ll always have his music, but this is another way I can bring what was meaningful to 2Pac to his fans.”A post shared by SWED (@swedstore.lax)Snoop took over Death Row Records in 2022 and vowed to “restore the label to its former glory, championing artists, hip-hop, and cannabis culture”.Part of this mission involved launching Death Row Records Cannabis in January 2023, a brand that offers a range of weed products now for sale at S.W.E.D.
Before that, Snoop set up his own weed brand in 2015.Last year, Snoop made headlines when he announced he was “giving up smoke”.
However, it turned out to be a promotional stunt for his partnership with a brand of smokeless stoves.The rapper infamously employs someone full-time to roll his joints for him, with the star himself previously saying that he smokes approximately 81 blunts a day.
