Esteemed rapper Snoop Dogg astounded his audience with an unexpected appearance as a guest weather presenter on the TODAY show last week.
Showcasing a personalized weather map adorned with cannabis-themed locations including such towns as Weed, California; Tokeland, Washington; High Point, North Carolina; and Pottsville, Pennsylvania, he certainly brought his flair to the broadcast.
Snoop Dogg Offers a New Take on Weather Forecasting
Renowned weather presenter Al Roker extended an invitation to Snoop Dogg to enliven the forecast with a map speckled with U.S. city names having a connection with cannabis, poking fun at Snoop Dogg’s famous affinity with marijuana. The rapper tackled the task with great enthusiasm, kicking things off with a 57-degree forecast for Mary Jane Falls, Nevada. He proceeded to cover temperatures such as 56 degrees in Stoner, Colorado and 84 degrees in Blunt, South Dakota.
“Shifting down here, we see above-average temps hitting 70 degrees in Roach, Missouri,” Snoop Dogg continued. The rap icon added his particular brand of humor when noting a 60-degree in Blaze, Kentucky. His report concluded on a light-hearted note with Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and High Point, North Carolina.
The rapper’s stint as a weather presenter is a striking example of the creative ways he brings together his well-documented fondness for cannabis with a variety of business ventures and entertainment projects. Last year, his kaleidoscopic exploits ranged from carrying the ceremonial Olympic torch and being a commentator for NBC’s coverage in July to announcing his cannabis coffeehouse opening in Amsterdam shortly after the launch of his flagship store in Los Angeles.
Snoop Dogg is recognized for his unwavering support for cannabis reform. He speaks openly about its therapeutic properties, potential health benefits, and its possibilities as a substitute for prescription opioids. He also urges sports organizations to relax their policies on marijuana, suggesting cannabis as a safer and less habit-forming alternative to opioids. Affirming his position both in popular culture and on contemporary issues surrounding marijuana use more broadly.
