Snoop Dogg is arguably the most recognizable name in cannabis culture, and his personal preferences have shaped what a lot of shoppers ask for at the counter. At Ashario Cannabis, our budtenders field questions about celebrity strain picks almost daily, and Snoop's name comes up more than any other. This roundup breaks down the cultivars associated with him, how Ontario's regulated market handles celebrity branding, and what Ashario shoppers can actually browse across our four locations. Updated August 2026 with current market context.

What is Snoop Dogg's favourite cannabis strain?

Snoop Dogg has publicly named OG Kush and its descendants, including his own Leafs By Snoop line built around indica-leaning cultivars, as long-time favourites. He has also spoken fondly of Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, and Girl Scout Cookies over the years. These are widely available genetics rather than single proprietary plants.

Snoop's affinity for OG Kush is documented across interviews and his own product ventures. OG Kush is a foundational hybrid whose exact origins are debated, but its influence on modern breeding is undeniable. Nearly every "Cookies" or "Kush" cultivar you'll see on an Ontario menu traces genetics back to it. For a deeper look at his branded product history, our team broke it down in What Is Snoop Dogg's Strain Called? a companion read that explains the Leafs By Snoop line and how celebrity cannabis brands work.

7 celebrity cannabis strains linked to Snoop Dogg

The strains most associated with Snoop Dogg are OG Kush, Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, Girl Scout Cookies, Northern Lights, Master Kush, and Bubba Kush. These are established, widely bred cultivars, not exclusive celebrity plants, and versions of most appear regularly across Ontario's regulated market. Potency varies by product and lot, so always check the label or COA in store.

1. OG Kush

The cultivar most tied to Snoop's name. A potent hybrid with an earthy, fuel-forward aroma driven by terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene. It's the genetic backbone of countless modern strains.

2. Sour Diesel

A sativa-leaning classic known for its sharp, diesel-and-citrus nose. Snoop has referenced "Sour D" as a daytime go-to. Expect a bright, energetic terpene profile.

3. Blue Dream

A balanced hybrid crossing Blueberry and Haze. Sweet berry aromatics and a mellow character make it one of the most requested strains at our counters, celebrity connection or not.

4. Girl Scout Cookies (GSC)

An OG Kush × Durban Poison descendant with a sweet, doughy, slightly minty profile. GSC spawned an entire family tree of cultivars now common in Canada.

5. Northern Lights

A heritage indica prized for its resinous flower and pine-sweet aroma. It's a cornerstone of indica breeding worldwide and a nod to old-school cannabis culture Snoop grew up around.

6. Master Kush

A pure indica with earthy, subtly citrus notes. Featured within the Leafs By Snoop concept, it reflects his stated preference for classic Kush lineages.

7. Bubba Kush

A heavy indica with coffee-and-chocolate undertones. A staple of the Kush category that pairs naturally with the OG-forward palate Snoop favours.

How does Ontario handle celebrity cannabis brands?

In Ontario, all legal cannabis, including celebrity-associated brands, is regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). The federal Cannabis Act strictly limits how any product can be promoted, so celebrity endorsements as seen in some US markets are heavily restricted here.

That means you won't find splashy celebrity testimonials on Ontario packaging the way you might elsewhere. What you will find are the underlying genetics (OG Kush, GSC, Blue Dream and their crosses) cultivated by Canadian Licensed Producers and sold under compliant brand names. As of 2026, the Ontario market carries hundreds of cultivars, many descended directly from the strains Snoop popularized.

A practical tip from our budtenders: instead of searching by celebrity name, look for the parent genetics on the label. A cultivar advertised as an "OG Kush cross" or "Cookies lineage" often delivers a comparable aroma and effect profile to what made those celebrity picks famous. Potency figures differ by lot, so verify the printed THC/CBD range and COA before you buy.

What our customers actually ask about celebrity strains

At the counter, the most common celebrity-strain question we get is simply "Do you have anything like what Snoop smokes?" Our budtenders consistently point shoppers toward OG Kush crosses and heavy indica Kush cultivars, since those match his stated preferences most closely. Effects and potency vary by product and individual, always start low.

A second pattern we notice: shoppers often assume a celebrity name guarantees higher potency. It doesn't. Potency depends on the specific plant, cultivation, and lot, not the marketing. That's why we always steer customers to read the label and COA rather than the brand story. For more strain breakdowns and Ontario buying guides, our cannabis blog is updated regularly with new roundups.

Frequently asked questions

What strain does Snoop Dogg smoke the most?

Snoop Dogg has most consistently named OG Kush as his go-to over the years, and it's the cultivar most tied to his personal brand and product ventures. He's also referenced Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, and Girl Scout Cookies in interviews. These are all widely bred genetics rather than exclusive celebrity plants, so versions of them regularly appear across Ontario's regulated market. Potency and exact effects vary by product and lot, always check the in-store label or COA.

Can I buy Leafs By Snoop in Ontario?

Leafs By Snoop is Snoop Dogg's own celebrity cannabis line. Even when a specific celebrity brand isn't in stock, Ontario retailers like Ashario Cannabis carry the underlying genetics (OG Kush, Master Kush, and similar cultivars) from Canadian Licensed Producers. Check our live menu or ask a budtender for current comparable options.

Are celebrity cannabis strains actually different?

Not necessarily. Most celebrity-associated strains are established, widely available cultivars like OG Kush or Blue Dream, marketed under a famous name rather than being genetically unique. The plant's aroma, terpene profile, and potency depend on the specific cultivar, how it was grown, and the individual lot, not the celebrity attached to it. Our budtenders recommend judging any product by its label, COA, and terpene profile rather than its marketing story.

What's the difference between OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies?

OG Kush is a foundational hybrid with an earthy, fuel-forward aroma, while Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) is actually a descendant of OG Kush crossed with Durban Poison, giving it a sweeter, doughy, slightly minty profile. Both are heavily associated with Snoop Dogg's preferences and both anchor huge branches of the modern cannabis family tree. Many cultivars on Ontario menus today carry genetics from one or both. Effects vary by individual and lot.

What are Ashario Cannabis's hours and locations?

Ashario Cannabis operates four Ontario stores, all open 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily, 365 days a year. They're located at Finch & Dufferin (1111A Finch Ave W, North York), Centerpoint Mall (6464 Yonge St, North York), Aurora (15114 Yonge St), and Thornton (239 Barrie St). You can find maps, phone numbers, and directions on our store locations page. All purchases require valid government-issued ID proving you're 19 or older.

Is celebrity cannabis marketing legal in Canada?

Canada's Cannabis Act and Ontario's AGCO rules place strict limits on cannabis promotion, including celebrity endorsements and testimonials. That's why Ontario products rarely feature the celebrity-forward branding common in some US markets. Retailers can inform adults 19+ about product categories and genetics, but cannot make health claims, promote through inducements, or appeal to minors.
