Snoop Dogg banned from Norway after trying to enter in possession of marijuana

Snoop Dogg has been banned from Norway for two years after being detained for attempting to enter the country in possession of marijuana last month.

The rapper, 40, apparently has 'no immediate plans to appeal'.

His legal representative in Norway, Holger Hagesaeter said that Snoop, real name Calvin Broadus, 'can live with the decision'.

He certainly appears upbeat, and tweeted a few days ago: 'positive. vibrations. all. around.'

It would appear that he isn't too bothered about the prospect of being unable to perform to his Norwegian fans in their home country for such a long time.

Snoop Dogg was detained in Norway last month after entering the country with marijuana and a large amount of cash, according to reports.

He arrived Kjevic Airport in Kristiansand with around eight grams of the drug which was detected by a sniffer dog.

A customs officer also said the artist was carrying more cash than is legally allowed, and was subsequently fined 52,000 kroner ($8,600) for the violations.

This is Snoop's second drug bust this year alone — in January, he was arrested in Sierra Blanca, Texas after his transport was stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

Snoop has a long history of legal problems, including a 1993 murder charge, from which he was eventually acquitted, and numerous convictions for marijuana possession.

In 2007 he was given a given a three-year suspended sentence after pleading no contest to possessing a gun and drugs.

Earlier this year, Snoop announced he wanted to speak to Barack Obama in a smoky room so he could ask him to legalize his favorite drug.

In an interview on Hot 99.5 he said: 'Before I even said "Hi" to President Obama, I would change the aroma of the room. And then we could start conversing after we had that aroma change. You know what I’m talking about?'

Just wanted to show how seriously he's probably taking all this. Calvin's an alright guy and loves to play chronic. :)

Snoop Dogg has psychotic episode, changes nickname to Snoop Lion

Sideshow: No longer a Dogg, but king of the beasts

By Tirdad Derakhshani
Inquirer Staff Writer
"I want to bury Snoop Dogg."

That's not the bitter pronouncement of a disgruntled music critic. Those words come straight from Snoop Dogg, who has changed his name to Snoop Lion.

Snoop, 40, finally explained the sudden shift during a confab Monday night. He says he was hit with a thunderbolt from above during a visit to a Rastafarian temple in Jamaica.

"The high priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg,'" the artist formerly known as Dogg is quoted as saying by the Huffington Post. "And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion.'" Goosebumps, right?

It's not just the moniker he's changing. "Rap is not a challenge to me," says the newly minted reggae man, who has called himself Bob Marley reincarnated. "I've won every accolade you can get in rap . . . it's time to find something new."

What does Marley's son, Rohan, make of all this? "Music is universal," he said. "Jamaica is just a part of music, so we were open to Snoop."

Why is it that folly is now called "common sense" nowadays?
