00:07 He wrote on Instagram,
00:09 "After much consideration and conversation with my family,
00:12 "I've decided to give up smoke.
00:13 "Please respect my privacy at this time."
00:16 Fans were baffled by the statement
00:17 and were quick to wonder, is this a joke?
00:19 They commented on the post,
00:20 "I'm waiting for the plot twist."
00:22 And two days from now,
00:23 he's going to say his account got hacked.
00:25 Snoop couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
00:27 It's worth noting the statement
00:29 doesn't say Snoop Dogg is giving up cannabis per se,
00:31 as edibles are obviously a popular option.
00:34 The 50-year-old marijuana advocate
00:36 has business ties to various edibles and weed strains.
00:38 He once said he smokes 81 joints a day
00:41 and does a personal blunt roller.
00:42 Snoop previously said earlier this year
00:44 that he's cutting down on smoking
00:46 after becoming a grandfather.
00:47 He told the Daily Mail in March,
00:49 "Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways.
00:52 "The main way is being concerned with how I live,
00:54 "how I move, the kind of people I'm associated with,
00:57 "because I wanna see my grandkids grow old.
00:59 "The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps
01:01 "as far as how I move, who I hang out with,
01:03 "where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking?"
