Snoop Dogg says he toned down his marijuana use and reevaluated his lifestyle after becoming a grandfather because he wants to see his grandchildren grow old.
The veteran rapper’s outspoken appreciation for the drug has spilled over into numerous business ventures, including groceries, weed strains and a digital media business dedicated to marijuana-related news.
But Snoop, 51, the first notable celebrity to market his own line of marijuana products, insists his personal use was scrutinized after eldest son Cordé became a father following the birth of son Zion in 2015.

“The only way I can do that is by taking precautionary measures in terms of how I move around, who I hang out with, where I hang out, my intake, what I’m taking.
‘Am I doing extracurricular activities or am I just doing what I’m supposed to?’
