Los Angeles has just received a new landmark in the cannabis industry, thanks to the legendary Snoop Dogg. Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. in Long Beach, CA, Snoop Dogg has once again proven his entrepreneurial prowess by opening his latest venture, a cannabis shop. Strategically located between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and SoFi Stadium, Snoop’s dispensary, named S.W.E.D (Smoke Weed Every Day), opened its doors on July 14, 2024, at 5494 W Centinela Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90045.
A Star-Studded Grand Opening
The grand opening of S.W.E.D on July 14 was a spectacular event. Snoop Dogg himself confirmed the launch on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a message to his fans: “SWED. My store grand opening this Sunday 7/14 here in LA. Ima pop out n c yall there.” True to his word, Snoop Dogg, along with Death Row Records, made an appearance, attracting a huge crowd of fans and cannabis enthusiasts.
Celebrating Snoop’s Legacy
S.W.E.D is not just a cannabis dispensary; it’s a tribute to Snoop Dogg’s enduring influence and legacy. The store features memorabilia such as the iconic wooden Death Row Records chair and a dedicated space honoring his groundbreaking Doggy-Style album. Additionally, Snoop’s handwritten sayings decorate the graffiti walls, creating a personalized and nostalgic experience for visitors.
Premium Cannabis Products
S.W.E.D offers a selection of top-of-the-line cannabis products. Although specific strains available at the opening were not disclosed in advance, the shop is expected to feature high-quality options given Snoop Dogg’s history in the cannabis business. Following his acquisition of Death Row Records in 2022, Snoop introduced strains like Strawberry Gary, Tropi Cherry, LA Runtz, and SFV OG. Customers can expect a similarly impressive lineup at S.W.E.D.
Expanding His Empire
Snoop Dogg’s entrepreneurial spirit is unstoppable. Beyond the cannabis shop, he has ambitious plans to expand into new industries. According to Benzinga, a S.W.E.D. coffee shop is set to open in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with a projected launch date of August 2024. This move further solidifies Snoop’s reputation as a versatile and forward-thinking business mogul.
Conclusion
Snoop Dogg’s new cannabis shop near LAX is more than just a retail outlet; it’s a cultural hub that celebrates his influence and legacy. With the grand opening now behind us, Los Angeles has a new hotspot in its cannabis scene. S.W.E.D promises not only premium products but also an immersive experience that fans of Snoop Dogg and cannabis enthusiasts won’t want to miss.
