Snoop Dogg Opens First Cannabis Store, and Launches 2PAC Cannabis Line

Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg opened his first licensed cannabis store this weekend, offering Los Angeles residents and visitors a new option for legal cannabis purchases.

The shop, named SWED after Snoop’s popular phrase “Smoke Weed Every Day,” opened its doors near LAX airport on Sunday. On Monday, the enterprising rapper celebrated another milestone by introducing a limited-edition line of Death Row Cannabis products dedicated to legendary rapper 2Pac.

SWED – Los Angeles’ new cultural hub

The SWED store isn’t just a place to buy high-quality cannabis products like flowers, pre-rolls, and concentrates . It’s also a space that celebrates hip-hop culture. The store’s interior is decorated with elements related to Snoop Dogg’s career, including a dedicated “Doggystyle” album area, graffiti walls, and a DJ booth where Snoop can play his favorite songs while smoking a joint.

During the store opening, Snoop Dogg, also known as DJ Snoopadelic, treated the gathered guests to a DJ set, presenting songs from artists such as Sexyy Red. The crowd was delighted, and among the attendees were many well-known faces from the music and film industry. The atmosphere was exceptionally energetic, which emphasized the unique character of the newly opened store.

The atmosphere is joyful and celebratory.

Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Broadus in 1971, became a mainstay at Death Row Records in 1993 with his breakthrough album Doggystyle. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, establishing Snoop Dogg as one of the most important figures in hip-hop. In 2022, Snoop took control of the label, promising to restore it to its former glory and support artists and hip-hop culture.

“I am thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has tremendous untapped potential for the future,” Snoop said in a statement.

Snoop Dogg has not only restored the label to its former glory, but has also modernized its image by introducing new products and initiatives that appeal to younger generations. The launch of the Death Row Cannabis brand is one such move that shows that Snoop Dogg is not only an artist, but also a business visionary.

2PAC product line introduced

In 2023, Snoop Dogg launched Death Row Cannabis, and now he’s introducing a line of cannabis products dedicated to 2Pac. The products feature five cannabis strains, including Alien OG, and exclusive photos of 2Pac in front of a Death Row Records graffiti wall. The limited-edition offering will be available at select California dispensaries starting Friday, July 19, with plans to expand to Michigan later.

Snoop reflects on his friendship with 2Pac: “The first joint started a friendship that was deep. We’ll always have his music, but this is another way I can bring what was meaningful to 2Pac to his fans.”

Snoop and 2Pac’s friendship was known throughout the hip-hop world. The two rappers not only collaborated on stage, but also shared many private moments that strengthened their bond. The introduction of the 2Pac cannabis product line is a tribute to this special friendship and an opportunity for fans to feel close to the legendary rapper through products that reflect his personality and style.

Reactions and future plans

The opening of SWED has attracted the attention of both fans and media. Crowds gathered to see the new location and celebrate with the rapper. Snoop Dogg also has plans for the future – in August 2024, he intends to open a SWED coffee shop in Amsterdam, which will further strengthen his position in the international cannabis market.

Snoop Dogg’s future plans are ambitious and include international expansion. The Amsterdam coffee shop will be a place where cannabis lovers from all over the world can enjoy the unique products and atmosphere created by the rapper. It is another step in building a global brand that combines hip-hop culture with the cannabis market.

Snoop Dogg at the olympics in Paris

Shortly after the store opens, Snoop Dogg will head to Paris to serve as NBC’s special correspondent for the 2024 Olympic Games. Snoop, who is known for his love of sports, has promised to follow all the rules and focus on covering sports. “I’m a very legit guy. I’m going to be there and do my job for NBC and be squeaky clean,” he told Time Magazine.

Snoop Dogg has had a special place in his heart for the Olympics since he was a child. He recalls how there was only one television in his home, and it was “Olympic-dominated” every time the games were held. That childhood memory, full of emotion and inspiration, will now accompany Snoop as he covers the biggest sporting event in the world.

Summary

Snoop Dogg opening his first cannabis store and introducing 2Pac’s cannabis product line are both major events for hip-hop fans and the cannabis industry. It’s not only a chance to buy high-quality products, but also a celebration of the legacy of two hip-hop legends. The future looks bright, and Snoop Dogg will surely surprise us more than once.

His actions show that he is not afraid of new challenges and is ready to take the next steps in his career, both as an artist and an entrepreneur. Fans around the world can look forward to more innovative ventures that combine the love of music and cannabis to create unique experiences.
