Snoop Dogg took on a new role as a guest meteorologist on the TODAY Show on Thursday, taking viewers through a personalized marijuana-themed weather map featuring cities from Weed, California and Tokeland, Washington to High Point, North Carolina and Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
Famed weatherman Al Roker invited Snoop to deliver the forecast from the map of real U.S. municipalities with seemingly cannabis-themed names, playing into the artist’s close association with marijuana culture. And Snoop quickly obliged—first by excitedly pointing out the 57 degree forecast in Mary Jane Falls, Nevada.
“Then I heard it was gonna be 56 degrees in Stoner, Colorado. But my favorite is when it’s nice, hot and misty outside, 84 degrees in Blunt, South Dakota,” he said.
The rest of the Snoop weather forecast:
“Sliding on down to this area right here, above the average highs, 70 degrees in Roach, Missouri. And over here, you know, we stay lucky in Kentucky. It’s gonna be 60 as we blaze in Blaze, Kentucky, ya dig? And over here we got Pottsville, Pennsylvania, where it will be 60 degrees. And down low, on the go, 61 degrees at High Point—get that, High Point—North Carolina.
Snoop has had a productive 2024 merging his affinity for marijuana with different business and entertainment initiatives.
For example, as he carried the ceremonial torch at the Olympics and served as a commentator for NBC’s coverage in July, the artist also took his latest marijuana venture global, announcing the opening of a cannabis coffeehouse in Amsterdam just weeks after launching his flagship shop in Los Angeles.
Snoop’s marijuana legacy runs deep, as late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel recognized last year when he declared the artist’s birthday, October 20, the “new high holiday” of DoggFather’s Day.
While he might be best known as a prolific consumer, Snoop has also advocated for reform, which includes calling for a policy change at the NBA so that players could freely use cannabis off the court.
He said last year that he supported the reform based on the “medical side of it, the health benefits and how it could actually help ease the opioids and all the pills that they’ve been given and the injections.”
Snoop has long been pushing athletics organizations to adopt lenient marijuana policies, often emphasizing that point that cannabis could serve as a less addictive and dangerous alternative to prescription opioids.
The artist, who once estimated that he smokes 81 blunts per day, also made headlines in 2019 after he disclosed that he paid a person upwards of $50,000 a year to roll his blunts for him.
