The first time Snoop Dogg smoked weed

Snoop Dogg was only eight or nine when he first hit a roach from his uncle’s ashtray, but that small moment would shape his identity. From The Chronic to ‘Gin and Juice’, cannabis became central to his music and image, turning him into hip hop’s ultimate stoner icon. Decades later, that first puff has grown into a legacy that redefined rap culture, normalised weed on the world stage, and cemented Snoop as one of the genre’s most enduring figures.
