Snoop Dogg: The Smoke Has Cleared

Snoop Dogg is no stranger to controversy. The rapper, who has publicly embraced drug use before and has even spent time in jail, has cleaned up his act. On the set of his new video for "Tha Chuuuch To Da Palace," Snoop told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson that he just says no now.

Shaun Robinson: I know that you are now clean and sober, right?

Snoop Dogg: Yeah. Can't you tell?

Shaun: There is a different air about you. What is it, that you're not high?

Snoop: No, I'm not high. I'm high off of life. As you get older you supposed to get wiser. I’m 30 years old now so I’m getting a little bit wiser, a little bit stronger. I just want to try something instead of smokin' weed and drinkin' gin. I wanted to see how I felt just to be high off life and a glass of water and it feels good.

Shaun: Did you quit cold turkey?

Snoop: If that's the word you use, cold turkey, I guess I went cold turkey. I just woke up one mornin' and said I don't need it no more. It's not a part of my game no more. I just wanted to be me, you know, get back to being Snoop Dogg.

Shaun: At your height, how much were you smoking every day?

Snoop: That I don't know, but I know it was too much, you know what I'm saying? Anything is too much when you're doin' it carelessly and I was doin' it carelessly and I was reckless with it and I'm just glad I took myself off of it instead of having to go to a program and get counseling or anything like that. I just stopped, I been off for 65 days and it feels real good, you know what I'm saying. Every minute that you smoking weed you killin' your brain cells, you takin' something away from yourself, you takin' a minute off of your life that you could have been here on this earth that you could have done something special.

Shaun: You mentioned you were spending more time with your kids, coaching a team.

Snoop: Yeah, I'm coaching a football team with my son, and it's experiencing life in a different way. I see how these kids really love me. They love the person, not Snoop Dogg the rapper, but the person who can actually teach them small things in football that might become big things later on in life.

Shaun: Now, about the Muppet movie and the protestors. They decided to take that appearance of yours out of the movie -- some say because of protests by groups that say you’re not a fit role model for children. How did you feel about that when the decision came down?

Snoop: It's they loss, not mine. I appreciate the opportunity for them to give me a shot at shooting it and be involved in it. I’ll just do my own special where I make some Muppets of my own. You know, for them to take me off of it, it just shows that they don't have no courage or no belief in me. If you believe enough in filming me you should believe enough in putting it out.

Well, The MUPPETS don't want s Snoop, EVEN AFTER the great lie! What's gonna happen when the peeps peep his new act! Luckily (or perhaps BECAUSE of) Snoop has chosen mostly WHITE forums to talk about the NEW SNOOP...(Conan and Access Hollywood are NOT the number 1 and two shows in the ghettioz of the world).

In all the talk with Conan and Access Hollywood he NEVER explains the REAL REASON he is towing the mans line and distancing himself from Jah's gift to mankind! What is that reason........READ THE NEXT TWO BLURBS and I'll be back one last time!!! Peace..BjbH

Snoop Dogg Busted For Marijuana Possession

10.18.2001

 Snoop Dogg was charged with marijuana possession after state troopers stopped his tour bus in Amherst, Ohio, Wednesday.
Officers pulled over Snoop's two tour buses for speeding on I-90 west of Cleveland Wednesday afternoon, and smelled "burnt marijuana" on the rapper's bus, according to a statement from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. With the help of a drug-sniffing dog, they found six bags of marijuana weighing about 200 grams in the bus' cargo area, the statement said.
Snoop (real name Calvin Broadus) was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum $100 fine, and possession of drug paraphernalia, which could bring up to $250 in fines and 30 days in jail. Representatives for Snoop Dogg were unavailable for comment.
Two other passengers were charged with similar crimes. All were released, and no court date has been set.
The Puff, Puff, Pass Tour's next stop is Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Thursday (October 18) (see "Snoop Dogg Shares Stage, Proceeds On Puff, Puff Pass Tour").

Snoop Dogg Fined For Marijuana Possession

 Glazed-eyed rapper Snoop Dogg might want to avoid Cleveland when he's drawing up tour itineraries — he'll wind up in the slammer next time he's caught there holding a bag.
On Tuesday, Snoop, a.k.a. Calvin Broadus, pleaded no contest in Ohio's Oberlin Municipal Court to possession of marijuana, a fourth degree misdemeanor, and was fined $250 plus court costs, which totaled $398.30.

The crime normally carries a 30-day stay in Lorain County Jail. However, the court suspended the sentence provided Snoop stays out of trouble for the next two years. He will do time if he's caught with weed in the vicinity again, a court spokesperson said.
The rapper was busted last October when two of his tour buses were pulled over by the Ohio State Patrol for speeding near Cleveland. Officers who boarded the bus smelled marijuana, and a search revealed 200 grams of the drug (see "Snoop Dogg Busted For Marijuana Possession").
Perhaps suffering from short-term memory loss, Snoop pleaded not guilty two weeks after he was pulled over. On Tuesday, a representative for the rapper reversed his plea. Snoop's presence wasn't required at either hearing.
Snoop Dogg will play Phoenix on June 4. He has scheduled eight additional shows, mostly in the South, ending in Las Vegas on June 20.

It is TRULY a shame that a 30 day sentence would be enough to make Snoop utter such nonsense. To sell out his brothers and sisters. To tell Rastafarians that they are killing their brain cells talking to Jah! That the PROPAGANDA of stupid white men, the LIES of these people be uttered out of Snoops mouth is truly, truly sad and disheartening! He MUST know that there is ZERO scientific evidence that ANY brain cells are damaged, that the study of Rhesus monkeys that begat that lie was exposed YEARS ago as a sham and a fraud!! A Sham and a Fraud??? A SHAM AND A FRAUD is what some people are thinking about a man whose best work was in an album called The Chronic and starred in tours called Up in Smoke and Puff, Puff, Pass...... I for one though understand when people get older and have kids they try as hard as they can to avoid even 30 days in county. I also understand that Snoop is going to go back on the road and if he says he still smokes that he is an open target! But I also have to juxtapose the UCMH bust where PRINCIPLE was the basis and even during mandatory treatment stage Ganja was from Jah, it was a sacred sacrament and the ONLY thing wrong with it was its' legal status!! And the stakes were MUCH HIGHER than a 30 day county stay!! So, I pray to Jah that Snoop will come to his senses and if not proclaim his love for the plant that could literally save the planet, express his outrage at all the marijuana arrests and say THAT is the major problem with Marijuana!! After all, if Willie Nelson could TELL THE TRUTH, why can't snoop!
