Snoop Dogg has never hidden his long-standing association with cannabis, but the legendary rapper says there is one drug he tried only once and has no intention of ever using again.
Speaking on the Full Send Podcast, Snoop recalled a powerful experience with DMT, saying the psychedelic left him feeling as though he had witnessed his own death.
“I Saw Death”
During the interview, Snoop described taking DMT just once before deciding it was not for him.
He said the experience felt like leaving his body and watching himself die, adding that it was so intense he immediately knew he would never take the drug again. When asked if he had seen God during the experience, Snoop replied that he had instead “seen death.”
An Out-of-Body Experience
The rapper explained that the effects were unlike anything he had experienced before. He recalled feeling as though he had stepped outside his body and watched himself from another perspective before eventually returning to normal.
Although some users describe DMT experiences as spiritual or life-changing, individual reactions can vary widely, and there is no scientific evidence that such experiences reflect objective reality.
What Is DMT?
DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) is a powerful psychedelic substance that can produce intense hallucinations and altered states of consciousness. It occurs naturally in some plants and in trace amounts within the human body, but its effects when consumed can be profound and unpredictable.
In many countries, including the United States, DMT is classified as an illegal controlled substance, except in limited research settings or certain legally protected religious practices.
Potential Health Risks
Medical experts warn that DMT can increase heart rate and blood pressure and may cause anxiety, confusion, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or panic during use. Because of its powerful psychological effects, the drug can be especially risky for people with underlying mental health conditions or certain cardiovascular issues.
Anyone considering psychedelic substances should understand the legal status and potential health risks and seek reliable medical information rather than relying solely on personal stories.
Snoop’s Honest Reflection
Snoop has often joked about his reputation as one of music’s most well-known cannabis users. However, his comments about DMT make it clear that he draws a line when it comes to more potent substances.
His story serves as a reminder that even experienced drug users can have unpredictable and overwhelming reactions to psychedelic drugs.
