Snoop Dogg launches cannabis product line

Snoop Dogg has launched Leafs By Snoop, a branded line of cannabis products.

The rapper has made no secret of his love of the herbal drug and has now created his first batch of cannabis-infused items, which includes food, hand-weighed marijuana flowers and hash oils that are on sale in ”dispensaries” in Colorado – where recreational marijuana use was legalized in 2013.

In a statement, Snoop said: ”It’s a true blessing that I can share the products I love so much with y’all today. From the flower, to the concentrates, and edibles – it’s all hand-picked by yours truly so you know it’s the hottest product out there. It’s the real deal and you gotta get out to Colorado to try it first!”

The rapper’s site Merry Jane will show a location mapping tool showing the sites which sell the line.

Snoop describes the site as a ”premier media platform at the center of cannabis and pop culture”.

Flavors are named Cali Kush, Bananas, Purple Bush and Blueberry Dream and available in flowers and concentrates, while ”Dogg Treats” – a branch underneath the Leafs By Snoop umbrella – will include Peanut Butter Gems, Gummies, Drops and Fruit Chews containing THC.

Meanwhile, Snoop’s new website MerryJane will feature information about marijuana and a location-mapping tool to show dispensaries of the new range.

Explaining his vision for the site, Snoop said: ”We will be like the encyclopedia to the cannabis world.”

Famous cannabis smokers Seth Rogen and Miley Cyrus are also involved with the website.

Announcing the project at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Snoop previously revealed that the website will accept 420 users per day ahead of the official launch.

4/20 is a code-term that refers to the consumption of cannabis.

Susan Sarandon enjoys marijuana

Susan Sarandon claims smoking marijuana has helped her career.

The ‘Lovely Bones’ actress insists she has never worked while high but found reading scripts while under the influence of the drug has changed her ”perspective” on the projects.

She said: ”I’ve never worked high, and I’ve never filmed high. But I’ve read scripts high and gotten a different perspective.”

The 68-year-old actress – who has daughter Eva, 30, from her relationship with Franco Amurri and sons Jack, 25, and Miles, 22, with ex-partner Tim Robbins – believes smoking marijuana helps her be more ”present” in the modern world and make the most of her down time.

She told High Times magazine: ”That’s the great thing about smoking weed: if you lead a very, very busy life, for me, it really makes the most of your weekend. It like, triples, your weekends. If you only have certain windows to get high, it allows you to slow down and really be there.

”It’s really important, because technology has made everybody multi-task: we get so distracted and so crazy… Smoking helps you to connect again – to be present and conscious.”

However, the ‘Thelma and Louise’ star advises against being ”stoned constantly”.

She said: ”As I’ve explained to my kids, weed helps you take a break from a very busy life. But you’ll never have a really full life if you are stoned constantly from a young age.”

Susan believes marijuana has so many benefits to users, it is ”absurd” that it isn’t legalized everywhere.

She said: ”It’s absurd that more states haven’t legalized it. It’s an important source of income… You also see the reports on kids who have seizures that are prevented by medical marijuana. You see the relief it gives to vets…

”It’s also a lovely way to socialize and be with people — and to be with yourself and de-stress.”

Seth Rogen’s drug shock

Seth Rogen was ”genuinely shocked” to discover marijuana was illegal in California.

The Canadian-born actor was arrested for drug use when he first moved to Los Angeles because he had forgotten about the fact they had different legislation than he was used to.

He recalled: ”I was genuinely shocked at how illegal it was here. I actually got arrested when I first moved to LA – I was smoking a joint at the beach, like I did my entire childhood, and all of a sudden, it was, like, whoop whoop whoop! Handcuffed in the back of a police car.”

Despite his arrest, the ‘Interview’ star doesn’t believe he has a criminal record.

Meanwhile, Seth, 32, has had a special preview of Kanye West’s next album – after the rapper invited him in his limo van and forced him to listen and give his opinion on each track.

Recalling how the ‘Yeezus’ star approached him in a New York hotel shortly after he and friend James Franco spoofed the musician’s ‘Bound 2’ video – in which Seth played the role of Kanye’s topless wife Kim Kardashian West – the actor admitted the session lasted much longer than he was expecting.

He told Rolling Stone magazine: ”There’s no lyrics, only beats. So he raps the whole album, and after each song, he stops it, like, ‘So what do you think?’ We were in the van for two hours!”

Jackie Chan’s son arrested in drugs bust

Jackie Chan’s son was arrested in a drugs bust.

Jaycee Chan, 32, and his actor friend Kai Ko, 23, were detained by police last Thursday (14.08.14) after more than 3.5oz of marijuana was discovered at Jaycee’s home, according to a statement on Beijing police’s official micro blog.

Jaycee’s arrest comes as Beijing police are cracking down on drug use but Beijing Municipal Anti-Drug Office deputy director Jin Zhihai insists officials are not targeting celebrities as such.

He told the Beijing Times: ”If there is an increased crackdown on drugs, the number of celebrity offenders will also rise.”

Despite his comments, actor Gao Hu, 40, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and cannabis just last week.

Like his father, Jaycee is also an actor but his movies have not been as successful as the likes of some his dad’s motion pictures including ‘Rush Hour’.

Jackie has previously said he wished Jaycee had joined the army when he was younger to ”temper his character” and revealed he wouldn’t be leaving his son any of his millions made from his movie career when he passes away.

Speaking in 2011, he said: ”If he is capable, he can make his own money. If he is not, then he will just be wasting my money.”

Snoop Dogg smoked cannabis at White House

Snoop Dogg smoked cannabis at the White House.

The 42-year-old rapper – whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. – admits he once puffed on marijuana in the bathroom at the official residence of president Barack Obama in Washington D.C.

Speaking on the latest episode of ‘Snoop Dogg’s GGN News’, he told Jimmy Kimmel: ”[I’ve smoked] in the bathroom [of the White House]. Not in the White House, but in the bathroom.”

The ‘Young, Wild and Free’ hitmaker tricked security into thinking he was going to the toilet and he even managed to persuade them to let him light a napkin.

He explained: ”I said [to the security guards], ‘May I use the bathroom for a second?’ And they said, ‘What are you gonna do, number one or number two?’ I said, ‘Number two.’ So I said, ‘Look, when I do the Number two, I usually, you know, have a cigarette or light something to get the aroma right.’

”And they said, ‘Well you know what? You can light a piece of napkin.’ I said, ‘I’ll do that.’

He then inhaled his cigarette and added: ”And the napkin was this.”

Selena Gomez went to rehab

Selena Gomez went to rehab last month.

The 21-year-old star – who has an on/off relationship with Justin Bieber – was admitted to Dawn at The Meadows recovery center in Arizona on January 5, and spent two weeks at the facility, which treats people aged 18 to 26 years old who are ”struggling with emotional trauma, addiction or dual diagnosis concerns.”

Her representative confirmed: ”Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse.”

The former Disney child star was urged to seek help by those close to her amid concerns her partying was getting out of control.

One source told RadarOnline.com: ”Her friends and family became increasingly worried that there might be a serious problem with Selena.

”Particularly, her parents. The partying was, at times, wild. They wanted to help her — and they very much encouraged her to go to rehab. Others very close to her also urged her to seek professional help.”

Another added: ”It’s important to remember that Selena had worked in Hollywood non-stop for six years. She was exhausted. Selena was smart enough to understand that she needed to take control of her life.

”It just got to a point where she needed to get out of Los Angeles, get away from ‘the scene’ and the pressures of Hollywood, to also get away from those who had, admittedly, become a bad influence on her.

”Selena needed to take the opportunity to work on herself. She realized she needed help.”

Selena – who reportedly ”regularly” smoked marijuana with Justin – had been due to tour Australia this month but cancelled the shows in order to ”spend time on [herself].”

And the brunette beauty is now said to be doing well.

A source said: ”Selena is now happy and very healthy and already getting back to work.”

Lady Gaga smoked marijuana after broken hip

Lady Gaga became hooked on marijuana to block out the pain from her broken hip.

The ‘Applause’ hitmaker admits she was ”smoking 15 joints a day” after suffering a tear and breakage inside the joint, which forced her to cancel the remaining dates on her ‘Born This Way Ball’ world tour following corrective surgery in February.

Speaking in the new issue of Attitude magazine, she said: ”It was a habit that eventually occurred when the pain got so bad with the hip.

”I was just numbing, numbing, numbing myself then sleeping it off, then getting on stage, killing it in pain, then getting off and smoking, smoking, smoking, not knowing what the pain was.

”F*** if I know what hurts the most, you know? I would break the habit and it would sneak back in and I would break it and sneak back in.”

The 27-year-old singer believes the sexual pressures of fame also prompted her to turn to the illegal substance.

She explained: ”I went through terrible experiences early in my career climbing through swine and swine of men in the music industry — just trying to get somebody to listen to my music and take me seriously as a songwriter instead of trying to get me to b*** them.”

However, despite going through Marina Abramović’s intense rehab session – which required Gaga to starve herself for three days and find her way out of the woods blindfolded – earlier this year, she admits she still smokes the drug occasionally.

She said: ”Now I smoke a little bit at night just, you know, for fun. But not to cope — that’s the difference. I’m the soberest I’ve ever been in the past five years.”
