It’s the greatest weed-related teamup since Cheech and Chong: The king of kush, rapper Snoop Lion (née Dogg), is now a moderator of Reddit’s largest marijuana community.

The rapper accepted his new position in r/trees late Thursday night after holding an AMA (“ask me anything”) session with rapper 2 Chainz

Snoop is one of Reddit’s favorite celebs, and he regularly hops into subreddits like r/todayilearned, r/braveryjerk (where redditors share stories of bravery), and r/videos to comment. This is the second AMA Snoop has done in the past nine months

Snoop is also a moderator of r/bravery and r/circlejerk, a popular subreddit that skewers Reddit’s dominant “hivemind” culture with satire.

“This is history,” vivelamangie commented
