Rapper and self-proclaimed pot lover Snoop Dogg recently announced he would hold a concert in Alaska if citizens there voted to approve the legalization of marijuana for recreational use.

The announcement came during an interview on Friday with Charlo Greene, a former TV reporter who quit her job while on-air at Anchorage’s KTVA earlier this month. Her famous “f**k it” resignation came as she also acknowledged she owned the Alaska Cannabis Club. She has since publicly committed herself to passing Ballot Measure 2.

Snoop Dogg told Greene he wanted to support her efforts and said he would hold a “wellness retreat concert” in Alaska if the bill passed. The initiative, which voters will decide on in November, would legalize the recreational use of marijuana for people over the age of 21.

  1. Because, you know, pot.

  2. Isn’t it Snoop Lion now? Anyway, good for him being on the right side of the issue. Problem is, his announcement will probably encourage more old white backwoods racists to get out to the polls and vote against it because they’ve now been given a way of keeping at least one more black person from bothering to go to Alaska.

  3. Well, so much for the Alaska ballot effort.

    Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Alaskan Everyman, how’d you like Snoop Dawg to come to your town and perform a rap concert? Hey, now, there’s no call for that sort of language.
