His love for smoking marijuana is no secret, so it's no surprise April 20th is Snoop Dogg's favourite holiday.
The California native joined millions around the world to celebrate 420 - the day adopted by pot-smokers to share their love for all things green.
Snoop wasn't the only one to mark the occasion, as Miley Cyrus, Seth Rogen and James Franco also spread their own 420 cheer.

He wrote on twitter: 'Blazing and praizing. What a glorious day for Easter. Sooooooo. I don't think I can participate in the egg hunt....'
There are many different ideas of how the counterculture holiday got it's name, but High Times editor Steven Hager was responsible for bringing the true 420 origin story to light.

According to Hager, the term was thought up by weed-loving students, who called themselves the Waldos, at San Rafael High School in 1971.
4.20pm was the time of day they would meet up to get stoned at the campus's statue of Louis Pasteur, which then was shortened to 420.
One member of the group called 'Waldo Steve' said they would greet each other at school by saying '420 Louis!'
'It was just a joke, but it came to mean all kinds of things, like "Do you have any?" or "Do I look stoned?" ' he said. 'Parents and teachers wouldn't know what we were talking about.'

With the help of rock band Grateful Dead and their dedicated base of pot-smoking fans, the term became widespread across North America and adopted by high-profile figures in the music industry like Snoop Dogg.
In 2003, the California Senate Bill 420 - also known as the Medical Marijuana Program Act, was passed which effectively gave millions of people access to marijuana for medical purposes in the state.
