Rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested over the weekend after border control agents found what they said was a small amount of marijuana on his tour bus. A spokesman for the sheriff’s office said Snoop Dogg “freely admitted” the pot belonged to him. He said a dog found a prescription bottle containing rolled marijuana joints and two other containers with marijuana.
The rapper was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia. Snoop Dogg has been arrested and convicted numerous times in the last 10 years for possession of drugs ranging from marijuana to cocaine, and weapons offences.
In 2008, Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson collaborated on the song and music video ‘My Medicine’, a thinly veiled homage to marijuana. Both artists have made their appreciation of pot an important part of their public personas.
