In an episode of his online talk show GGN, rapper Snoop Dogg admits to his guest Jimmy Kimmel that he once hit a blunt in the last place you should probably do something like that: The White House. If you ask me, the real story here should be all the places on Earth where Snoop hasn't smoked weed.
Here's what Snoop told Kimmel:
"I said, 'May I use the bathroom for a second?' And they said, 'What are you gonna do, Number 1 or Number 2?' I said, 'Number 2...So I said, 'Look, when I do the Number 2, I usually, you know, have a cigarette or light something to get the aroma right.' And they said, "Well you know what? You can light a piece of napkin.' I said, "I'll do that.' And the napkin was this," he said, referring to his blunt. Kimmel and Snoop Dogg spend the rest of the interview reminiscing on their long relationship together in business.
This likely happened last December, when Snoop was at a White House party for the Kennedy Center Honors -- where he also fist-bumped Secretary of State John Kerry, photos of which Snoop posted to his Instagram (sample of press coverage of that immortal moment here, from the NY Daily News).
The Huffington Post points out that Snoop Dogg isn't the first celebrity to have claimed to use an illegal substance at the White House. "Actor David Cross told Playboy that he snorted cocaine under his table at the White House Correspondent's Dinner back in 2009, and he said he was 'maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!'" This all certainly makes you wonder why any president would be inviting Snoop Dogg and David Cross to the White House in the first place.
Country great Willie Nelson also claims to have smoked a joint on the White House roof. Willie, of course, is another guy for whom the list of places he hasn't gotten high is probably shorter than the list of places he has.
