We never thought we’d ever see the day Snoop Dogg would tell anyone to smoke less weed, but it just happened.

The hip-hop legend sat down Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White in the latest episode of Snoop’s GGN webseries to talk about one of the sport’s most outspoken cannabis users, Nick Diaz.
Many of Diaz’s fans have become disgruntled towards the UFC over a number of marijuana-related punishments the Stockton, Calif.

The stoner holiday 4/20 was relatively chill for most pot smokers except for Alex Jones, whose trial for the custody of his children went off the rails during his testimony on Thursday.

The embroiled radio personality took the witness stand to provide a questionable testimony, which included a moment when Jones explained to the court why he takes it upon himself to smoke weed at least once a year.
According to a BuzzFeed News report:
Jones said he sometimes smokes marijuana — nearly yearly — “to monitor its strength, which is how law enforcement does it.” He then added

Marijuana has come a long way since the time when 420 was just an obscure term used by pot smokers.

420 is now recognized by the mainstream (see the latest Totino Pizza Rolls ad) as cannabis becomes legally available in more states, making it that much harder to pigeonhole weed smokers into a convenient slacker or hippie stereotype.

At least one Trump administration official isn’t spewing the same anti-marijuana comments as his colleagues are.

In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly told host Chuck Todd that marijuana is “not a factor” in the ongoing drug war, reports the Washington Post.
In the interview, Todd asks Kelly if marijuana legalization would alter border efforts to control drug smuggling.
“Yeah, marijuana is not a factor in the drug war,” answered Kelly.
Kelly then went on to explain which illegal substances are actually worth the concern:

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looks to keep his word on legalizing marijuana with a plan now set in place.

The Canadian government on Thursday introduced legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana throughout the country, reports the New York Times.

Weed has become embraced by so many subcultures, we forget that skaters used to be the face of stoner culture back when pot was still illegal in every state.

Oregon lawmakers are moving to shield their legal marijuana users from the federal government.
The House of Representatives on Monday voted in favor of a bipartisan bill to ban legal marijuana shops from storing identifying information, such as driver licenses and passports, for longer than 48 hours, reports the Associated Press.
The state’s legislators have worked on the bill ever since President Donald Trump’s administration hinted at heightened enforcement of federal laws against marijuana users.
“I personally am very concerned that we give as much protection to Oregon citizens to ensure that their personal identification information
