Snoop Dogg Pays Homage to Tupac Shakur Through Cannabis Items
On Monday (July 15), Forbes reported on Snoop Dogg opening his first licensed cannabis dispensary store in Los Angeles on Sunday (July 14). The full name of the rapper’s brick-and-mortar is S.W.E.D. A Snoop Dogg Store. The acronym stands for Smoke Weed Everyday. In the store, eager buyers can choose from a selection of flower, pre-rolls, concentrates and more.
The S.W.E.D. shop is carrying a limited edition of Snoop’s Death Row Cannabis products that honors his good friend and Death Row Records colleague Tupac Shakur’s legacy. The rapper’s cannabis company went to Instagram later that day and confirmed the claim by posting a picture of an article written on Beard Bros Media, which can be seen below. In February of 2022, the 52-year-rhymer bought Death Row Records from MNRK Music Group. Snoop launched his Death Row Cannabis business in 2023.
This is the second Snoop family business venture announced this year. Back in May, Snoop’s wife Shantae Broadus opened a new strip club in downtown Los Angeles.
