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

[ProjectPanthers]

I've personally smoked weed with a couple of NHLers while they were in town during the regular season. Has happened more than once so I have to assume it's a common occurrence. One time the NHLer supplied the stash

This was even before it was widely legal in North America.

Quite frankly, I prefer to consume cannabis (specifically edibles) to drinking. Yes, they both sort of provide the same effects BUT:
1) there's pretty much no hang over after consuming "too much" cannabis
2) Anecdotally, I've never made stupid decisions to drive a vehicle or the like while high. a.e you still keep your wits about you to an extent.

2 years ago this would be major news.

More like 30 years ago. No one cares anymore.

Sens smokes Leafs in 20-4 win

Don’t you mean 4-20?

 

[nergish]

Imagine McDavid smoking weed with Snoop Dogg

That would be unbelievably boring and uncomfortable lol

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Don’t you mean 4-20?

yes but nobody says you beat a team x to x + n where n > 0

 

[Reddwit]

There’s a

yes but nobody says you beat a team x to x + n where n > 0

Yes, but it’s funnier that way.

FFS people here act as if reefer is something new ….. the “old white dudes” running the show had their formative years in the 60s and 70s …. I venture to guess every one of them partied harder than most of the “ hardcores” spouting off here lol….

 

[namttebih]

the shocking rise in mental illness and schizophrenia says otherwise…

I blame social media.

 

[Coffee]

Newsflash: they also do coke and other drugs.

No they don’t

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

No they don’t

Some definitely do, but I doubt its many of them.

But you get alcohol? And no one gets stupid when they drink? Some people become complete assholes. I've never seen the same happen with weed.

I get alcohol to some extent, since its liquid courage. Even cocaine is the same way. Weed is just shutting down your brain and being dumb for a while.

Edit: Ofc people get stupid when they drink, but that is not the main point. The entire point of weed is to shut down your brain.

Also, the health effects of doing alcohol och cocaine wrong is obviously devastating, but most often people getting there was trying to get some good effects, not bad - unlike the ones doing weed.

NHL should embrace it like they have with gambling. It's a huge money industry now. Where I live there's a legal pot shop on every street corner.
Imagine if they marketed it. Have arenas with weed sponsorship, digital ads on boards.
Why not?

I'm with you, but everything related to hockey (that isn't the actual sport) just doesn't mix with weed culture. Heavy rock music, aggressiveness, combativeness, etc is like oil to weed's water lol

 

[Dubi Doo]

Of course they do it's Snoop Dogg, who wouldn't smoke weed with snoop Dogg?

The only person who outranks Snoop as someone I'd want to smoke weed with is Willie Nelson.

Weed also enhances senses. Food can taste better. Music can hit the soul harder. Video games/movies look cooler. An animal's fur feels softer. Etc... It releases dopamine like many other drugs do.

"The main psychoactive ingredient, THC, stimulates the part of your brain that responds to pleasure, like food and sex. That unleashes a chemical called dopamine, which gives you a euphoric, relaxed feeling."

When it comes to visual alterations, this can be attributed to another cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V), Dr. Tishler said.

It's not like you're sitting on the couch drooling in your oatmeal...unless you smoke way too much!

There also may be benefits in pain management, but I don't think there's enough research in that area yet.

It also can't be understated how much safer it is that cocaine and alcohol. Especially cocaine. Mac Miller recently died because his cocaine had fentanyl in it.

You are seriously misinformed. This entire post reeks of ignorance.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

There are a world od difference in the weed world lol

You can smoke some heavy indica and have the brain in the "jello" or you can smoke some sativa/hybrid for a boost of energy while having the giggly

Some ppl are indeed really bad informed

 

[Fight4yourRight]

So, you don't think the WHO has been wrong on...stuff? It's all a 'conspiracy'? Uh huh.

Oh btw I don't think alcohol is good at any amounts. Obviously a beer every so often isn't going to kill you though.

Too funny.

No they don’t

LOL. Yes they do.

 

[tfwnogf]

doesnt everyone smoke weed by now

 

[Coffee]

LOL. Yes they do.

I hope you don’t

 

[Minnewildsota]

No. Some people still believe it's the Devil's Lettuce and that it's a gateway drug.
I've also heard it turns you homosexual, so there's that.

 

[MCR74]

He says "hockey GUYS.". Pretty sure he's blazing with DOPS.

I'd say so. Have you seen some of Parros' decisions when it comes to doling out punishment?

 

[Bouboumaster]

I'd do it too given the chance

 

[WaW]

Good. Would rather they smoke weed than take addictive painkillers.

(And yes, before anyone makes a smart-ass reply, I am aware that there is also a cocaine problem in the league)
