Snoop Dogg Opens Online Cannabis Shop Shipping Direct To U.S. Consumers
Hip-hop icon and multi-talented entrepreneur Snoop Dogg on Wednesday opened an online shop selling cannabis flower and other hemp-derived products with shipment direct to U.S. consumers in more than three dozen states, including many that have not legalized recreational marijuana. Also featuring lifestyle products including smoking accessories, premium tobacco cigars and limited-edition merchandise, the new direct-to-consumer marketplace SWED.com launched at 4:20 p.m. EST on December 4.
The launch of the new online shop follows the opening of Snoop Dogg’s S.W.ED. cannabis dispensary in Los Angeles and a so-called coffee shop in Amsterdam, where patrons are able to purchase small quantities of cannabis and other weed products. The initials S.W.E.D stand for “smoke weed every day,” a Snoop Dogg mantra that has grown into an international lifestyle brand.
The online shop will feature a curated selection of authentic Snoop Dogg and Death Row Records branded hemp-derived cannabis products, including THCA flower that contains a non-psychoactive precursor to THC. When heated by smoking or vaping, however, THCA is changed to THC, the cannabinoid most associated with the classic “high” achieved from smoking marijuana.
Other products available now or in the coming weeks include rolling trays, cigars, tobacco “blunt” wraps, pipes, vaporizers and other exclusive merchandise. All products except the THCA offerings can be shipped directly to consumers in the U.S. THCA products cannot be shipped to Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and South Dakota, although the rest of the line is available to consumers in those states.
