Ed Sheeran There are many famous weed smokers out there, but it's safe to say Snoop is the top Dogg and king of weed. It's not surprising that, given the opportunity, anyone, given a chance, would want the bragging rites of saying they smoked weed with a legend; however, for Ed Sheeran, the reality of smoking with Snoop became all too evident, all too quickly.


Ed Sheeran There are many famous weed smokers out there, but it's safe to say Snoop is the top Dogg and king of weed. It's not surprising that, given the opportunity, anyone, given a chance, would want the bragging rites of saying they smoked weed with a legend; however, for Ed Sheeran, the reality of smoking with Snoop became all too evident, all too quickly.

On Monday's episode of Conan O'Brien's podcast, Ed Sheeran, 32, talked about many things, including when he got high with Snoop Dogg, 51, backstage after a concert in Australia last March. Sheeran told how he couldn't resist the opportunity of smoking weed with Snoop.

During Snoop's Melbourne, Australia, stop on his most recent tour, Snoop Dogg presented both Sheeran and actor Russell Crowe with gold Death Row Records chains in a dressing room backstage. The meeting was captured in an Instagram Reel that received over 50,000 likes and featured Crowe bobbing his head to the music in the video as he opened his gift.

Sheeran talked with Snoop in his dressing room until he "couldn't see." 
"I've been close friends with Russell Crowe over the years, and he is close with Snoop Dogg. I was in the dressing room, and they're just going like blunt for blunt. I was like, I guess at some point during the night, I have to say I smoked with Snoop Dogg". Sheeran, however, was the first to admit he's not an everyday smoker.

"He was like, 'Do you want some?' and I was like, now's the time," Sheeran said. "We were having a good conversation. So I had a bit and said, I don't feel too bad, this is good. Then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more." 

"I just remember looking at him and being like, I can't see right now," Last year, Sheeran also recounted another time in 2013 when he took one hit of The Game's weed and was gone while the rapper stayed in the studio unaffected.
