The “Gin & Juice” rapper and entrepreneur’s latest gambit — “Rolling Words: A Smokable Songbook” — is a book of the hip-hop star’s lyrics, printed on rolling papers.
Not only are the words to his classic songs “Gin & Juice,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” printed out on the paper, the book comes with a strike board on the spine, so users can light matches off it.
The book is made of hemp and hemp-related materials with nontoxic ink.
“Always remember, you can roll with an expert, you can roll with Snoop,” he says in the video.
The item is a companion piece to the 40-year-old rapper’s Snoop Dogg King Size Slim Rolling Papers.
Limited editions of the book will be distributed at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., this month, according to News One.
Snoop, aka Calvin Broadus, is scheduled to co-headline the event with “‘G’ Thang” collaborator Dr. Dre.
Snoop continues to make weed-smoking an intergral part of his life and identity, despite his constant run-ins with the law.
“Rolling Words” has a spine you strike a match on. YouTubeIn January, the rapper was arrested after a drug-sniffing dog alerted border patrol agents to a possible hit during a checkpoint stop in Sierra Blanca, a small town in West Texas.
The cannabis-toting rapper has landed behind bars. He was busted for marijuana possession in 1998, 2001, twice in 2006 and 2007, among his numerous other arrests.
Since making his debut on the music scene in 1992, Snoop has shown time and again, there’s no venture too bizarre for him to get involved with.
Snoop raised eyebrows last year for endorsing Colt 45 Blast, a fruity booze beverage, similar to much-publicized Four Loko and Jooce.
Critics say these brightly colored drinks target underage drinkers.
His endorsements include: gum, Chronic Candy (sweets that taste like marijuana), pet accessories and Norton antivirus computer software.
He also produced a hardcore pornographic film called “Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle” in 2001.

From Saturday, OCTOBER 15th, 8am, in unison with Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, London, Australia, Asia and many USA cities – We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.

Watch: Nobody Can Predict The Moment Of Revolution

Like our brothers and sisters at Wall Street and in Egypt, Greece, Spain, and Iceland, we plan to use the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic of mass occupation to restore democracy in South Africa. We also encourage the use of nonviolence to achieve our ends and maximize the safety of all participants.
Who is Occupy Exchange Square – Operation Ubuntu?
Occupy Exchange Square – Operation Ubuntu is a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.
The original call for this occupation was published by Adbusters in July; since then, many individuals across the USA have stepped up to organize the event Occupy Wall Street, such as the people of the NYC General Assembly and US Day of Rage . There’ll also be similar occupations in the near future such as October2011 in Freedom Plaza, Washington D.C.
Now we would like to see if you are willing.
Who are you?
Are you looking for an email, you don’t find who are the organizers of the event, you find lots of manifesto, you are not sure if there is an official site, are you wondering about us?
But the answer is: who are you?
October 15th its a day where people of the world will show they are tired of the world as it is, will take to the streets and start to work for a global change. Nobody has to tell them what to fight for, nobody has to give magic solutions, nobody has to lead the way.
If the call for October 15th belongs to someone, that is you!. Take the ownership of the call, launch it as if you were the main organizer, do the manifesto you want, disseminate it by all media you have, do from it whatever you believe in.
So if people ask you, who is behind the call, you know what to answer, “I am”.
Because that is what we need, that people take back the world by themselves, with no partys, unions, associations who tells them what to do, just gathering together, using collective inteligence to start thinking what to do with this planet.
October 15th the world will be under our influence. It will become whatever we want.
So, who are you?
Operation Ubuntu – Ubuntu is a Nguni word which has no direct translation into English, but is used to describe a particular African worldview in which people can only find fulfilment through interacting with other people. Thus is represents a spirit of kinship across both race and creed which united mankind to a common purpose.
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has said “Ubuntu is very difficult to render into a Western language…It is to say. ‘My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in what is yours’…”
One definition is: a person is a person through other persons.
We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PEACEFUL RESISTANCE 9AM BOT GARDENS TO MARCH ON THE MAGISTRATE COURT!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is also One in Cape Town And Johannesburg.

Tobacco smuggling in South Africa causes tax losses of 3 Billion South African Rand every year.
According to industry experts over 25 percent of the cigarette market in South Africa consists of black market cigarettes.
The losses are considerably higher than previously reported by the South African Police Service.
“The Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa (Tisa) assisted the SA Revenue Service (Sars) during the past two days with the destruction of 10.3 million illicit cigarettes (1030 master cases) seized at the Lebombo Border Post [in Mpumalanga],” Tisa CEO Francois van der Merwe said in a statement. - The Citizen Online
A retailer or reseller, caught with illicit products, can be prosecuted under the Customs and Excise Act (evasion of taxes).
- A fine of R20 000 or three times the value of the goods
- Up to 5 years in prison
- A person prosecuted can therefore pay a fine and go to jail
However, if prosecuted under the Tobacco Controls Act (non-compliant product) the penalties are:
- Up to R1 million fine
- British American Tabacco South africa
If you know of a vender selling illegal cigarettes phone the TISA Hotline on 0800 214 710

A South African paleontologist, Professor Francis Thackeray, who graduated from Yale University, has created a stir in the academic field by claiming Shakespeare smoked pipes of cannabis while writing his plays.
Born in England in the year 1564 CE, William Shakespeare wrote 37 plays (not including his “lost play,” Cardenio), 154 sonnets and four poems. He also created nearly 1,700 words, and many of his original phrases are still used by all of us today including, “. . . seen better days,” “. . . full circle” and “. . . charmed life.”
Where did Shakespeare’s greatest thoughts originate?
Police examined residue from over 20 smoking pipes found in Shakespeare’s home and cannabis was found in the residue.
Professor Francis Thackeray has since applied for the rights to exhume Shakespeare’s body, in an effort in confirming if the most read writer in human history would pass a urine test.
Thackeray has since published his theory in the African Journal of Science, creating waves amongst mainstream media news outlets like Fox, CNN and National Geographic.
Arguments against his findings include debates wether the pipes were left there from “pot parties”, if he was just “holding them a friend” and if the collection of over 25 pipes were indeed his. (Do you have 30 Pipes in your crib that aren’t yours?)
Critics argue that plenty of writers smoke pot and don’t produce anything of value except blogs. ;) They forget writers since then including Charles Baudelaire, Allen Ginsburg and Hunter S. Thompson, all used cannabis for inspiration and creativity.
During Shakespeare’s time, Smoking cannabis in England was illegal. Artists who puffed the magic weed would have had to keep their habit a secret, lest they end up under the mercies of the Inquisition and other unforgiving English authorities.
The only hurdle left for the Professor in confirming his theories is Shakespeare’s very own words, a curse on his tomb.
Good frend for Jesus sake forebeare,/To digg the dust encloased heare;/Bleste be the man that spares thes stones,/And curst be he that moves my bones.
When asked if Shakespear ever refered to the Herb in his writings Professor Thackeray commented with this line from Sonnet LXXVI
Why write I still all one, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my name,
Showing their birth, and where they did proceed?
