Snoop Dogg reveals he hired someone to make sure people he smokes with don’t get too high

Snoop Dogg has revealed he hired someone to ensure the people he smokes weed with do not get too high.

The rapper has become known for having a joint or two over the years, to the point where even had to enlist the help of a professional blunt roller.

On top of that, Snoop has even recruited a smoke session monitor to ensure things do not get out of hand.

The 53-year-old appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last week, with the topic of weed obviously coming up.

Snoop was questioned about the 'lightest weight' he's ever lit with, but the 'Drop It Like It's Hot' hitmaker did not have a name that came to mind.

So, he asked chat show host Cohen to smoke a joint with him to see whether he could be added to the 'lightest weight' list.

"I have joined you, and I did OK," Cohen claimed before suggesting someone had been monitoring the smoking sesh for safety reasons.

"Snoop has a guy with him when he gets you high who kinda says, 'Hey, stop,'" Cohen said.

The rapper then nodded his head to indicate this is the case.

Last year, it came as a bit of a shock when the Californian rapper appeared to announce that he would be giving up smoking weed.

Sharing a black-and-white image of himself on Instagram alongside a signed statement, Snoop seemed to suggest he was giving up the 'smoke' for good.

"After much consideration and conversation with my family, I've decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time," the statement read.

Many fans flocked to social media at the time, asking whether the move was some kind of prank.

I mean, Snoop giving up weed? Surely not.

Well, it was later confirmed that the social media post was a marketing ploy, after all.

In a video clip released days after, Snoop said: "I have an announcement. I'm giving up smoke. I know what you're thinking, 'Snoop? Smoke is kinda your whole thing?' But I'm done with it. I'm done with [...] my clothes smelling all sticky icky. I'm going smokeless. Solo Stove fixed fire, they take out the smoke, clever."

Back in 2002, Snoop said he was quitting weed and alcohol so he could be a better father to his children.

“No, I don’t have lung cancer, and I don’t have throat cancer,” Snoop told MTV at the time.

“I been smoking weed and drinking every day of my life for the past 10 years, and I just wanted to get high off of life and take a new direction and see what it sounds like and what it looks like from that point of view.”
