Legendary rapper and cannabis icon Snoop Dogg shocked fans when he announced on Instagram that he is quitting weed. In a video post, Snoop cited health reasons for his decision, saying, “I’ve got to make a change, you know what I’m saying?…I’m tired of coughing, I’m tired of looking over my shoulder.” He asked fans to respect his privacy during this time. Snoop has been a vocal advocate for cannabis legalization and has even launched his own line of cannabis products.
