Snoop Dogg has taken his weed dispensary international, with the opening of his first coffee shop in Amsterdam.
A video shared to Instagram on Thursday (August 15) by both Snoop’s official page and the profile for his brand, S.W.E.D. (an acronym for Smoke Weed Every Day), captures moments from what looks like the grand opening of the event.

While the Doggfather does not appear in the clip, his son and business partner Cordell Broadus was on hand and proclaims the venue, “the first Snoop Dogg coffee shop in the Netherlands,” indicating it may not be the last.
In addition to a variety of cannabis products, the S.W.E.D. Coffee Shop features a variety of memorabilia from the West Coast veteran’s career, along with quotes from his discography, including, “It ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none.”
Earlier this summer, Snoop Dogg paid tribute to 2Pac during the opening of the first S.W.E.D. dispensary in his hometown of Los Angeles.
Named after Nate Dogg‘s final line on Dr. Dre‘s “The Next Episode,” the fully licensed dispensary opened its doors with Snoop’s help over the weekend.

Through a limited edition release, the Doggystyle hitmaker is paying tribute to his late friend and collaborator by featuring Pac on a number of his Death Row Cannabis products.
The line features a premium blend of jarred cannabis flower and Alien OG, with customers also receiving an exclusive never-before-seen photo of the “Dear Mama” legend, as well as a matchbook recreated from the photoshoot.
Snoop Dogg previously revealed that 2Pac handed him his first blunt in 1993 at the wrap party for the film Poetic Justice, which starred ‘Pac alongside Janet Jackson.
“2Pac is the one who got Snoop Dogg smoking blunts,” he said, referring to himself in the third person, while inducting the late rapper into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

Snoop also recalled that moment in a statement launching the 2Pac weed products: “That first blunt sparked a friendship that ran deep. We’ll always have his music, but this is another way I can bring what was meaningful to 2Pac to his fans.”
Snoop’s S.W.E.D. shop also offers fans the chance to see a Death Row electric chair, graffiti on the walls and various bits of music memorabilia including a section dedicated to his seminal debut album.
