Snoop Dogg Says He Wants to Smoke Out President Obama, Is Soon Arrested by Federal Officers

Categories: Marijuana

President Obama, what with his Hawaiian heritage, is one of the most laid-back presidents ever to sit in the ultimate seat of power.

He once shook the hand of a Marine, which is outside protocol, and you just know that he plays it cool.

But Snoop Dogg's recent suggestion is beyond the bounds of even Obama's loosened-up mores:


The L.A. rapper wants to smoke the president out. And after he said as much, he was arrested ... by federal law enforcement.

That's right.

Snoop thinks that if the leader of the free world tried a little of Snoop's OG Kush he would get behind legalizing it.

As it is, Obama's administration is not that cool. A recent online petition to "Legalize and Regulate Marijuana in a Manner Similar to Alcohol" brought this response from the the White House Drug Czar:

Simply put, it is not a benign drug.

Like many, we are interested in the potential marijuana may have in providing relief to individuals diagnosed with certain serious illnesses. That is why we ardently support ongoing research into determining what components of the marijuana plant can be used as medicine. To date, however, neither the FDA nor the Institute of Medicine have found smoked marijuana to meet the modern standard for safe or effective medicine for any condition.

Snoop recently told a radio station (via Jezebel) that a little sticky icky would adjust Obama's attitude:

Before I even said "Hi" to President Obama, I would change the aroma of the room. [...] And then we could start conversing after we had that aroma change. You know what I'm talking about? [...]

We get that understanding that this is what needs to happen in order to make the world go 'round.

We're not sure what the president thinks of the proposal for a pot pow-wow, but maybe this is a sign:

His U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested Snoop at a checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas over the weekend after they smelled some of that good stuff emanating from tour bus.

Mr. Dogg reportedly admitted it was his. Perhaps the weed was destined for the White House.

It seems to us, Snoop, that Obama is not your bud.

Wake up.. they can kill 30,000 people in Mexico and it's a "drug war".

If 30,000 people died in a drug test trial, even if millions were taking that drug, it would be a scandal.

OK so lets spend $300,000,000 on a phoney racist Mexican border drug war and dress it up like terrorist laws to keep the big pharma lawyers off our asses!

It's cheaper. 30,000 people in Mexico die? Kids, entire families, farms poisoned, hell yeah.

It's policy. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. Pass me that blunt I need a toke.

Wake the fuck up, people. Does the tail wag the dog?

It is a cruel and unfair world we live in. We are all slaves to an inhuman environment.

We must be nice to our neighbors, figure out plans.

We need an emergency drill just in case they switch off the electrics and the gas and the water.

We must pledge to look after our elderly folk, we must protect them at all costs for they are the future of our educated homo sapien lifespan and they say cool things to us kids.

We must protect yet educate our future children, prepare them for that which may yet come to pass, the world is now an uneasy tide of piracy and enlightenment, and the youth of today are no fools.

Trade will always exist, so most anti-capitalist fools are just stoned on a Utopian karma banking method where nobody makes mistakes or gets greedy. Good luck with that.

Trading with people's futures and failing, it's the basis of the legal and banking profession since time immemorial. It is glorified gambling and only special club members get to play.

But most of all I have learned from this article, that we must never, ever, smoke any of Snoop Doggy Dogg's stash.

That guy grows weeds in his skull he's so messed up now.

Marijuana/dope/weed/skunk/lids whatever you call it now, it's a dangerous drug when you smoke the shit out of it. It will rip years out of your life. Decades will blend into each other. You won't even remember anything, because every night is the same. Nothing to tell your kids about. Nothing but being a slave to the weed.

Ain't nothing good about a slavery to drugs. Psychological addiction to weed in this new age of insular living is a symptom and not a cause. Miracle medicine that cannot be patented? Yes.

Cure to all problems? No.

Budget allocated to anti-drug wars over marijuana/weed being at least nine-thousand times more than the budget needed to support simple and practical anti-addiction methods, method one  - confuse the masses by talking about billions as if such a tangiable figure existed.

Put it like this - biggest European debt? Greece?Biggest Greek expenditure/debt problem?Military spending? Wow!Who do they owe money to for buying shiny new fighter jets?

Oh surely you can Google this shit for yourself. Wake Up People.

"To date, however, neither the FDA nor the Institute of Medicine have found smoked marijuana to meet the modern standard for safe or effective medicine for any condition."

And chemotherapy is "safe or effective medicine".  Standard, regretfully true, but far from safe or effective.  Wonder when the FDA will outlaw it.  FAT CHANCE!

I'm from southern Oregon and, my family (since 1840) has been in Mendocino county, northern California.  I'm "at least slightly aware" of the topic at hand in this article. Given the fact that "Two out of Three" is a losing hand..this article sucks. I "despise" the two hominids in this article..and they are as useless as an airfoil on a school bus.  Both of them are as big of a pair of mistakes as that big-ass passenger door ( "asymmetrical") on the freaking GREMLIN!!  They BOTH are as representative of AMERICA as Truman Capote is of the NRA.  They've got as much to contribute to the destruction of the very fabric of this society as disease and poverty combined.No, America...we're a bunch of sold-out-saps when a big stonie and bigger dirt clod are "esteemed" by as many people as those two natty-headed hoes.

Umm... I guess they've never heard of the IND program... oh wait the Federal IND, and  program, and that the National Health Department... which the FDA is under... owns the PATENT(s) on cannaboid research... which list it's benefits for a number of health conditions...   I'm just saying... the lies need to stop!!!!!! They just want to regulate it through pharmaceuticals.... and charge up the A** for it.

Not to mention the newly-released report stating that people smoking one entire joint every day (which is quite a bit, actually) suffered no lung damage or permanent physical damage of any kind. The researchers contrasted cannabis favorably in relation to cigarettes by saying the two cannot even be compared on the dangers to one's health.

Now, as always, the Drug Czar's role is not to convey honest, helpful information. His role is to fan the flames of hysteria with the usual self-serving disinformation that keep the drug-war/prison-industry profit-machine going in perpetuity. Even amidst growing opposition and absurd incarceration rates for non-violent offenders the beat that few want to dance to just goes on and on and on. Besides, why do you think the Big Pharma producers of Compazine (sp?) would tolerate a natural medicine that takes away severe nausea at pennies on the dollar...when they can sell cancer patients their tragically ineffective synthetic solution for ten bucks a tablet? The answer is they wouldn't tolerate it.

Snoop Dogg for President! Medical marijuana, and all marijuana should be legal! It is helpful to people for pain reduction and other maladies, plus marijuana can be a much less harmful recreational drug than liquor, heroin, crack, and cocaine.

Great e-book on medical marijuana: MARIJUANA - Guide to Buying, Growing, Harvesting, and Making Medical Marijuana Oil and Delicious Candies to Treat Pain and Ailments by Mary Bendis, Second Edition. This book has great recipes for easy marijuana oil, delicious Cannabis Chocolates, and tasty Dragon Teeth Mints.

Let’s keep celebrities and everyday citizens from crowdingour courts and jails contributing to the money pit that is the War on Pot.  When will our Government realize it canprofit more from taxing the sale of the harmless medicinal herb than by jailingpeople for it?  Groups are organizing allover the country to speak their minds on reforming pot laws and defending thisplant.  I drew up a very cool poster forthe cause which you can check out on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot...  Drop in and let me know what you think!

Obama doesn't have Hawaiian heritage!  Kenyan and trailer park maybe, not Hawaiian.  Couldn't care less about Snoop and weed.  Don't insult the proud Polynesian people by identifying Obama as one of them.  He's white or Kenyan, nothing more, nothing less.

SO IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS ARRESTED FOR SMOKING THE SHIT NOT SAYING WHAT HE SAID ABOUT SMOKING OUT OBAMA...I GUESS WHOM EVER WROTE ABOUT THIS THOUGHT LYING IN THE HEADLINE WOULD GET MORE ATTENTION...REDICULOUS!

It was reported that it was only a routine check by U.S. customs officers. They smelt marijuana  , searched the tour bus, found marijuana, made an arrest. The president of the United States can care less what a rapper jokingly says on a radio station.

stop implying a causative relationship between Snoop's saying that he'd like Obama to smoke, and him getting arrested. It doesn't exist.

You make it sound like the two incidents were related in the headline.  Shame on you.  What trash.

What this article highlights is the poor judgment by the White House. They need to understand that pot isn't dangerous and in fact is less harmful than many things that are legal. Maybe the governemet should focus on distribution and taxing that sale of it accordingly.

Article is stupidly misleading. The headline sets up a direct link between the two events, when there, in fact, is none.

Bad, bad journalism. Utter crap.

Been a fan of LA Weekly for decades. This is a disappointment.

This article makes it sound like Obama personally sent agents to arrest Snoop.  I have a feeling he has a few more other more pressing issues to worry about.

Who are the real terrorists?
Who are the real terrorists?

He needs to pass SOPA just like he did with the NDAA.  The choice has been made, profit over freedom.  Freedom is what made this country so great, and we are seeing that freedom be stripped away in an attempt to save/make our country better?  This makes no sense!  Give people the freedom that the constitution bequests to them and this country will once again be great, take those freedoms away to create a false sense of security, and this Empire's days will get darker, colder and will fade into the night.
