Snoop Dogg Claims That Many NHL Players Smoke Weed During the Season (with him)

[Royale With Cheese]

Smoking weed with Snoop just seems like something everyone should do if they get the chance.

 

[AllDay28]

nhl players are cooler than i thought.

 

[CDJ]

u mean they’re still cool during the season

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Smoking weed isn't against the Law right

 

[ijuka]

Yep, many NHL players are stupid.

 

[Underdogoil]

The sky is also blue, who cares weed is legal in Canada?

 

[Roshi]

Snoop should do a tv-show where he sits down with a celebrity to smoke weed and talk about things.

In that regard, its interesting that now as weed is becoming legal and accepted, how its portrayed publicly and in popular culture. Alcohol is ok, but being drunk is not cool and embarrassing. Weed is not ok, but being stoned is cool and fun.

Hockey schedule is pretty tight and I think it is unlikely its anyone of star caliber.

That being said when a hockey player has free time its Smoke weed with Snoop vs visit family

 

[Salsa Shark]

I hope snoop ends up as part owner of the Sens only for one reason. Can you imagine snoop stoned as hell at a board of governors meeting with all those old white dudes? God that would be amazing

why would it be "amazing"?

 

[Taswell]

This isn't news...have you seen Brock Nelson?

Not surprising. In the developed world no country smokes more than Canada. Something like 75% of Canadians have smoked cannabis in their lives and the NHL is still almost 50% Canadian.

I remember that number but it was by the time they graduated high school.

75% of Canadians have tried weed at least once by the time they finished high school.

90% of Canadians try weed before they die.

50% of canadian adults smoked weed or edibles once in the last year or two.

Those were the numbers I saw and they seem to line up with my personal experience.

Booze in moderation is not bad for you. I believe weed at any levels affects brain cells.

Sure, alcohol definitely doesn't do anything to your brain cells.

It's a literal neurotoxin.

I thought the desired outcome of Capitalism is profit?

Profit > livelihood

In the USA it is still illegal at the federal level, though most states have legalized it for recreational and/or medicinal purposes.

In Canada it is fully legal.

Why do you believe that? lol

 

[TooManyHumans]

We need to stop this now! Follow the NFL model and get them all addicted to pain pills instead.

Are there players not taking the chance to smoke with Snoop? Red flag is you ask me.

Probably likes whiskey a bit too much to believe it to be dangerous... I mean, as someone who was a functional alcoholic through his 20s...I'm in a significantly better place than I was then having swapped whiskey for weed. Ideally I wouldn't have any vices...but when you have chronic pain (or an injury) you have to do something and when it's weed or opioids...that choice should be obvious knowing what we know now.

I'll never understand the puritanical nonsense about weed, especially with athletes. There's no competitive advantage to be gained from it, but there is pain relief in a significantly easier way to control than highly-addictive pain meds that have a horrifying track record and are completely accepted, even if we limit the scope just to this league.


For the record I'm not anti-booze or anything of that regard, I just find it absolutely asinine that it gets a free pass to not be treated like the drug that it is while safer drugs are still demonized because of decades of literal propaganda. Ideally athletes aren't smoking anything for obvious reasons...but the occasional joint here and there is nothing compared to, say, the packs of cigarettes guys like Mario Lemieux just casually smoked in the 80s (both in terms of volume and long-lasting effects) or the pain-killer addictions that have destroyed far too many careers, lives, and families. Let's just say there's a reason my doctors (primary and specialists) encourage cannabis over the alternatives. Professional athletes may not have the chronic pain I suffer, but in the short-term they absolutely do.

I also feel the annoying need to stipulate that players showing up for actual games or practice or team events or whatever while stoned is obviously bad and would obviously hurt performance...but the same would apply to arriving drunk. Don't f***ing do it on the clock, that should be obvious.

Who gives a shit about cannabis? It’s 2023.

 

[Unspecified]

Who cares, in LA where he lives its legal soooo.

Yep, plenty of great points in there.

Even when I was growing up I always wondered why alcohol was treated differently from all the other supposedly horrible drugs they would teach us about. Doesn't make much sense. After a championship everyone loves seeing how drunk the players get in the locker room and on the parade. Hell, Kucherov was hailed a hero for his drunken rant.

Who cares, in LA where he lives its legal soooo.

I'm very pro-weed, but it is still illegal at a federal level, and I'm sure these players have it written into their contracts that they won't break the law.

I doubt federal law is outlined in their contact. Probably something vague as "law" in general.

Yeah it's pretty vague, but a vague term like that would likely encompass the federal laws of the country they're in. I can imagine that the code of conduct would probably forbid players to partake in any illegal activity, which would be smoking marijuana (in the United States).
