If you can believe it, there is one person who can give Snoop Dogg a run for his money when it comes to smoking that sweet, sweet herb.
It’s widely known that Snoop is a fan of the spliffs - to put it mildly - so much so that when he announced he was ‘quitting’ weed as a publicity stunt last year, fans were gobsmacked.
I mean, last year, on the rapper's birthday, 20 October, Jimmy Kimmel declared it DoggFather’s Day, a ‘new high holiday’ that happens to fall on the six-month mark before 4/20.

However, as is typical in life, anything you can do, someone else can do better, right?
And the 52-year-old once admitted that there have been some occasions where he’s come off second best in the joint department.
Speaking on Kimmel's talk show, Snoop revealed how another musician had managed to push him to his limits of his weed consumption.

One of the biggest country music stars on the planet, a spearhead in the genre, the one and only Willie Nelson was the man to truly test the performer's stamina.
The revelation came when Snoop was asked who he'd put on a ‘Mount Rushmore' of pot smokers.
Kimmel said: "Seth Rogen was here last week, and we were talking about Mount Rushmore of pot smokers, and of course, you are on,
"And I think that Seth is on Mt. Rushmore. Who would you put on that Mt. Rushmore?"

Naming his own top dogs, Snoop took time to think before saying: "I would put Bob Marley. I would put Cheech and Chong - they were the first faces on the mountain, they're the ones who showed us what a mountain was.”
After mentioning the amateurs, he moved onto the top dogg.
"Willie P. Nelson is definitely on there," he added.
"And by the way, Willie Nelson is the only person who has ever out-smoked Snoop Dogg. I had to hit the 'timeout' button."

Kimmel then asked whether he’d ever had to use that particular button before, with the rapper responding: “Never, never.”
Of course Willie responded to the shoutout, backing up the story in an interview with the Daily Beast in which he said: “That was over in Amsterdam!
“I called Snoop and I said, 'Hey buddy, you gotta come over here. This is where it’s at!'
"So, he came over, and we hit every bar, every smoke place in Amsterdam. We had a helluva time."

Quizzed on why he is so fond of the leaf, the 91-year-old country star who featured on Beyoncé’s latest album ‘Cowboy Carter’ (of course, we would like to mention and thank Beyoncé!) said: "Oh, I don’t know. There’s probably people that can out-smoke me! I don’t do a lot of smoking anymore.
"I’ve switched over to a vaporizer because it’s better on my lungs."
To be blunt, we are sure Willie has done more than his share over the years, I guess that’s grow-biz.
