Snoop Dogg, the legendary American rapper, has revealed that he has stopped smoking marijuana.
The infamous pot smoker made the announcement in an online post on Thursday, November 16.
“I’m giving up smoke,” the rapper claimed in his post, which included a statement reading: “After much consideration with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke.”
Before signing off, the 52-year-old added, “Please respect my privacy at this time.”
Fans of the veteran rapper, who is noted for his weed consumption, were taken aback by the news.
It was once claimed that the rapper had someone roll 75-150 joints for him every day, which he later denied.

Renegade Piranha, who had claimed to be Snoop’s “personal blunt roller” (PBR) said last year: “On average, I do about half a pound a day, which seems excessive. So that’s roughly like 75 to 150 units per day. I calculate it at over 450,000 blunts.”
However, he stated in March of this year that he has reduced his pot consumption since becoming a grandfather.
Snoop Dogg told DailyMail.com in March that his personal use had come under scrutiny when his eldest child Cordé became a father to son Zion in 2015.
“Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways,” he said.
“The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I’m associated with because I want to see my grandkids grow old.
“The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking?
“Am I doing extra-curricular or am I just doing what I’m supposed to be doing?”
