Snoop Dogg and Seth Rogen have very specific advice for new weed smokers

I think much of the internet remains in shock from the news coming out of the legendary rapper Snoop Dogg on Thursday.

Snoop himself took to Instagram to announce he has quit smoking weed.

The 52-year-old has become known for liking a spliff or ten over the years, something he has spoken very openly about with his fans.

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

Heck, he's not the only celeb to opening talk on his love for weed. Seth Rogen is another Hollywood star who whenever weed is mentioned, his name wouldn't be too far from your mind.

In fact, Seth and Snoop once offered some advice to new weed smokers.

Now, before we go on, I should note that we are not condoning drug use of any kind... but it would be silly to pretend that cannabis isn't incredibly popular with many, many people.

Speaking to Howard Stern on his podcast in 2022, Rogen and Snoop were asked about getting high together, and why they enjoy each other's company so much.

Explaining why he likes the Superbad star so much, Snoop said: " They [other people] talk too mother f**kng much, and get in the way.

"Seth enjoys the moment [getting high], he's creative... this mother f**ker knows how to make a joint that looks like a cross.

"He's a bad mother f**ker at that... when he pulled that cross out, I was like, 'God, let there be light!'"

But if you're thinking of taking them on in a smoke-off, or even reckon you could keep up with them in a hazy sesh, think again.

Offering some advice to people just starting out, Rogen and Snoop said it's vital to pace yourself.

"I'd start with one [hit]," said Rogen.

While Snoop was more cautionary, advising: "I'd say half of one."

Rogen then added: "This is from two guys who've had too many mother f**kers come up and get way too high with them."

However, there is someone who is more hardcore when it comes to their weed consumption.

According to Snoop, he once went on the bender to end all benders with a rock legend, who put him to shame, Willie Nelson.

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel back in 2018, the 50-year-old was asked about who the top dogs were when it came to smoking the reefer.

"Seth Rogen was here last week, and we were talking about Mount Rushmore of pot smokers, and of course, you are on," the host said. "And I think that Seth is on Mt. Rushmore. Who would you put on that Mt. Rushmore?"

Snoop then replied: "I would put Bob Marley. I would put Cheech and Chong - they were the first faces on the mountain, they're the ones who showed us what a mountain was."

However, he then revealed who was the real king.

"Willie P. Nelson is definitely on there," said Snoop.
