In 2019, Snoop drew the ire of many by posting a message on social networks comparing the effects of the’alcohol and cannabis using images of himself and former soccer star Paul Gascoigne. The message highlighted the physical deterioration associated with the abuse of’alcohol while showing little difference in Snoop's appearance over the years.

Wiz Khalifa gets involved

Wiz Khalifa, another prominent figure in the community hip-hop known for her love of’grass, also spoke out on the subject. In a podcast, Wiz defended his choice of smoking openly about cannabis, even in situations such as before a parent-teacher meeting.

«Of course I show up high. They expect it,» Wiz remarked, stressing that he refuses to conform to society's expectations of’education.

«They know what's going on. It's not like in the old days when you were considered a bad parent if you smelled grass».

For Wiz, authenticity is essential, and he refuses to hide his true personality from his children or anyone else.
