- Snoop Dogg talks about the life and mission hemp has given him
To Snoop Dogg, hemp isn’t just a plant. It’s the only sanctuary in the blood-smelling back alleys where he can breathe. “Mary Jane saved me. I loved her, and she never failed me.” His smoke isn’t just an escape. It’s a prayer for survival, a weapon to overcome life.
A "goddess" found on the street
Snoop smoked weed for the first time at the age of five. Clutching the smoke in his young hands, he distanced himself from the world. At 17, he stood on the block, exhaling white smoke while talking about his dreams. The red lights of police cars were always behind him. But Mary Jane was always on his side. He skipped class, passed around a bag, and laughed in the back alleys.
For that moment, the boy from the streets was a king. Weed wasn’t just a pastime. It was Novocaine to dull the pain and the engine that made his heart go.
A voice heard on the brink of death
But while hemp protected him, the world would not forgive him. Snoop once stepped on the border of death. In the depths of his consciousness, sinking into darkness, 2Pac appeared. “You’re not finished yet. Fulfill your mission.” Those words pierced him like a bolt of lightning, and Snoop rose again. To fulfill the mission given to him by hemp.
Healing the Earth with Hemp
There’s something Snoop is seriously thinking about right now. “What if we planted hemp on the rooftops of buildings all over the world?”
It would absorb CO₂, mitigate the heat island effect, and let air flow through cities. It would heal the earth and heal people. Hemp is a rescue in this age when the Earth is crying out. “We don’t just smoke to get high. We smoke to spread the meaning of smoking.” That’s Snoop’s answer.
Beyond the hemp smoke
Snoop Dogg has a realization: “Hemp saved me. Now it’s hemp’s turn to save the world.” It may be a rapper’s delusion, but his lyrics say: “If the world can’t be fixed, we’ll fix it. Me and Mary Jane.” Beyond the smoke, Snoop sees the future.スヌープ・ドッグは悟っている。「麻は俺を救った。次は麻で地球を救う番だ。」それはラッパーの妄想かもしれない。だが、彼のリリックはこう告げている。「世界がどうにもならないなら、どうにかしてやる。俺とMary Janeでな。」――煙の向こうで、スヌープは未来を見ている。
