Snoop Dogg Hires ‘High Monitor’ to Keep Smoke Sessions Safe

Snoop Dogg has never been shy about his love for marijuana. The 53-year-old hip-hop icon has built a public persona as much around his music as his famously prodigious weed consumption — but even the Doggfather knows there are limits. In October 2024, he revealed a surprising addition to his entourage: someone whose sole job is to make sure no one in his smoke sessions gets too high.

The revelation came during his October 20 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. The host told viewers that Snoop employs a dedicated staffer whose mission is to monitor the group when he lights up. If someone starts looking a little glassy-eyed, the staffer will step in with a simple but firm, “Hey, stop.” Snoop nodded in agreement, confirming the unusual — and oddly responsible — gig.

Keeping Pace with the King of Cannabis
It’s not hard to see why such a role might be necessary. In a 2019 Howard Stern Show appearance, Snoop estimated he smokes roughly 81 blunts a day — a staggering tolerance level that few, if any, could match without consequences. “I’m used to this,” Snoop once said about his weed intake, but for his less seasoned guests, keeping up could be risky.

The monitor’s job is straightforward: watch quietly from the sidelines, step in when someone has reached their limit, and prevent the peer pressure of puffing with Snoop from turning a chill vibe into a regrettable experience. While it’s unclear if this person doubles as Snoop’s famously well-paid blunt roller (who reportedly earns upwards of $50,000 a year), the functions are distinct — one is about preparation, the other about protection.

Fans React: Amusement and Admiration
News of the role, confirmed by outlets including People, Marijuana Moment, and Wide Open Country, spread quickly on social media. An X post from 93.3 FLZ about the appearance fueled the buzz, sparking a mix of laughter and praise online. Many fans called it “peak Snoop” — an indulgent yet thoughtful move that turns his larger-than-life smoking reputation into a safe group experience.

A Responsible Twist in Celebrity Cannabis Culture
While the revelation fits neatly into Snoop’s laid-back, weed-loving image, it also reflects a wider shift in marijuana culture toward responsible use. In a celebrity landscape where private consumption often happens without much consideration for guests’ limits, Snoop’s approach stands out as a conscious way to keep everyone comfortable.

It’s another reminder that behind the clouds of smoke and playful swagger, Snoop Dogg runs his lifestyle with surprising structure — and maybe even a touch of public health savvy. After all, not every host hands you a blunt and a safety net.
