Located at 5494 W Centinela Ave. in Los Angeles, the dispensary is conveniently situated between SoFi Stadium and LAX, making it super accessible for anyone flying into town. SoFi Stadium is also the home to music\u2019s biggest concerts as well as the Los Angeles Rams, making it the perfect stop for game day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C9Qu3gmy9Ef\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The grand opening of S.W.E.D.<\/a> took place Sunday, July 14, on a beautiful LA day. At around 3pm, Snoop Dogg arrived and immediately went into the back room where he morphed into DJ Snoopadelic, his DJ alias. The name is inspired by the legendary George Clinton\u2019s Funkadelic. He proceeded to bless the crowd with a live DJ set, playing all the jams including Sexyy Red\u2019s \u201cGet It Sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Snoop Dogg opened his new dispensary in Los Angeles<img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1f4a8.png\" alt=\"&#x1F4A8;\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kVrhyDsmkY\">pic.twitter.com\/kVrhyDsmkY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shirley Ju (@shirju) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shirju\/status\/1812656876859105736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-than-cannabis\"><strong>More Than Cannabis<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The store is aptly named S.W.E.D., an acronym for \u201cSmoke Weed Every Day.\u201d Defining Snoop Dogg\u2019s lifestyle to the tee, it\u2019s also everyone\u2019s favorite lyric from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre\u2019s song, \u201cThe Next Episode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the store carrying only the most premium cannabis products and offering top-notch service, S.W.E.D is also a cultural hub for the City of Angels, with Snoop\u2019s impressive long-lasting career plastered all over.
