Snoop Lion: 'I'll teach my kids how to smoke marijuana if they want'

Snoop Lion has revealed that he would happily teach his children how to smoke marijuana if they were interested.

The musician - formerly known as Snoop Dogg - explained that he would feel more comfortable if he knew that his kids were well educated.



Speaking to GQ, he said: "It's not that I would ever push weed on our kids, but if they wanted to, I would love to show them how, the right way, so that way they won't get nothing put in their s**t or overdose or trying some s**t that ain't clean."

Lion, who was photographed apparently sharing a bong with his 18-year-old son in September, added that he is thinking about reading It's Just A Plant: A Children's Story of Marijuana to the football team of 8- and 9-year-olds that he coaches.

"Believe it or not, they need to know," he explained.

Lion also defended the practice of smoking marijuana in general, saying: "It's from the earth - it's not some man-made s**t. It's actually growing from the ground straight to you, so it's just like eating a vegetable.

"Cancer and diseases that never had a cure, now all of a sudden you got people taking chemotherapy, and they're also having a toke, and they live longer."
