A gaggle of CelebStoners—Anthony Bourdain, Dave Chappelle, Zach Galifianakos, Bill Maher, Susan Sarandon, Sarah Silverman and Snoop Dogg – were nominated for 2017 Emmy Awards, but only Chappelle won for hosting "Saturday Night Live." Other winners included the documentary "11th," W. Kamau Bell and Donald Glover.
On the Aug. 18 episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," Penn Jillette proclaimed that he's "the only person who's never ever had a puff of marijuana who has been been on the cover of High Times magazine." Well, not quite.
During my 20-year stint with High Times, I coordinated more than three-dozen photo shoots with celebrities, mostly musicians, including Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, Ozzy Osbourne, Cypress Hill, Method Man, Redman and Milla Jovovich. Many are featured in the 500th issue of High Times.
A now sober Brad Pitt reveals in the current GQ cover story that "back in my stoner days, I wanted to smoke a joint with Jack, Snoop and Willie. You know, when you're a stoner you get these really stupid ideas."
It's April, which must mean 4/20. There are plenty of events leading up and following the stoner high holiday, including public rallies in Denver, San Francisco, Vancouver and Toronto; music festivals in Atlanta, Miami and Washington, DC; industry events like the Cannabis Cup, New England Cannabis Convention and Southwest Cannabis Conference; and concerts featuring Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson and many more.
Snoop Dogg has joined Donald Trump's enemies lists that includes the New York Times, CNN, Saturday Night Live, the Washington Post, Vanity Fair and Buzzfeed. Each has been described by the president as "failing." Now Snoop is part of that group.
Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart's TMobile Super Bowl spot was definitely the stoniest commerical of the night. It referenced a "bag," a "pot" and a "can of this" (get it?).
Many of you out there know that I worked for High Times for nearly 20 years, from 1988 to 2007. Towards the end of my run with Trans High Corp. (the parent company), I hatched the idea for CelebStoner.com. That was in 2006.
Vaping is a healthier alternative to traditional forms of marijuana smoking. That’s one of the reasons it's become a mainstream activity. Another is celebs—from Willie Nelson to The Weeknd—advocating their use.
Move over, "Broad City" and "Garfunkel and Oates," you've got company. "Mary + Jane," executive produced by Snoop Dogg and Ted Chung, made it's debut on MTV Sept. 5. It's about two women weed deliverers who live in Los Angeles.
