Snoop Dogg once sold a \u201cblunt\u201d to raise $10,000 for charity.<\/p>\n
The \u201cDrop It Like It\u2019s Hot\u201d hitmaker is a known advocate for marijuana and memorably auctioned off a drug-filled cigar to raise money for Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller\u2019s Hilarity for Charity initiative.<\/p>\n
Rogen told \u201cVariety\u201d: \u201cSnoop Dogg once auctioned off a blunt on stage for Alzheimer\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller added: \u201cI think it went for $10,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
Watch video:<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cSausage Party\u201d star believes the couple\u2019s unique approach to fundraising has proven very beneficial for the charity, which they founded in 2012 after Miller\u2019s late mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n Rogen added: \u201cI think that encapsulates how we are approaching the space differently. If you\u2019re lucky enough to be able to get Snoop Dogg to come perform at your show and auction off a blunt for Alzheimer\u2019s care and research, then I think that speaks very well to an unexpected but effective kind of melding of matters and sensibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n The 40-year-old actor previously admitted he was \u201cshocked\u201d by his commitment to the charity.<\/p>\n Asked if he ever thought he\u2019d start a charity when he was an aspiring comedian, he laughed and said: \u201cNo.<\/p>\n \u201cLike 10 years ago, Judd [Apatow] basically threw a charity event where the whole theme of it was that I would never do charity, basically.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd it was honouring me for charity work that I may one day do. I got the best intentions award. And it was a huge event and the whole theme of it was that I was probably never going to do anything. So, even I\u2019m shocked that this has happened.\u201d<\/p>\n Rogen has also praised his wife, also 40, for how well she handled her mother\u2019s diagnosis before she passed away two years ago.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cSeeing Lauren talk about it is very impressive to me.<\/p>\n \u201cHow much she talks about it, and how willing she is to talk about it. How open she is about talking about it and seeing how that has given her a lot of control over her situation \u2013 that\u2019s been very good, because it wasn\u2019t like that at first.\u201d<\/p>\n
