Ed Sheeran claims he got so high smoking weed with Snoop Dogg that he ‘could not see’

Ed Sheeran has revealed he once got so high smoking marijuana with Snoop Dogg that he temporarily lost his vision.

The singer-songwriter, 32, and rapper, 51, along with Australian actor Russell Crowe, 59, met up at one of Sheeran’s shows in Melbourne back in March and decided to hang out afterwards.

Drop It Like It’s Hot hit-maker Snoop, who lives in California where recreational marijuana use is legal, has never been shy about his use of the drug and in 2016 even employed a full-time joint roller.

It is no surprise therefore that on this ocassion he came prepared.

Appearing on the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast, Sheeran explained that he had always wanted to light up with Snoop even though he very rarely smokes, but that it did not quite end as he had expected.

He said: “I’ve sort of got quite close friends with Russell Crowe over the years and he is really close with Snoop Dogg. I don’t really smoke at all but I was in the dressing room and they were just like blunt for blunt for blunt for blunt.

“I was like, I guess at some point during the night, I have to, just to say I smoked with Snoop Dogg.

“He was like ‘Do you want some?’ so I have a bit and I was like, 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.”
