Oh Texas, you're a real buzzkill. We just heard Snoop Dogg was arrested in Texas on Saturday for a misdemeanor drug charge, after a real snoop dog (oh, the irony) sniffed out the marijuana on his tour bus.

According to TMZ, agents claimed they found a red prescription bottle with several joints inside the bus. Snoop was issued a citation for misdemeanor drug possession and released.

Obviously, there's Texas and Weed aren't friends--here's are four other celebrities who've been arrested for pot in the Lone Star State.

Wiz Khalifa Finally Gets His Shit Together on "Smokin' On"

snoop-wiz-khalifa-rapradar.jpg
​Along with every other straight-to-DVD film, we've been ignoring Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg's upcoming buddy comedy, Mac and Devin Go to High School.

The movie promises to be a Cheech and Chong redux. We have no idea what the concept is other than getting high, potentially blowing up a chemistry lab, and giggling about it (their school is named "N. Hale"). But isn't Snoop a little old to play a high school kid?

On the other hand, so far the soundtrack seems a make-up present to Wiz's long-time fans, who grumbled "sellout" this spring when he released his fluffy, radio-ready Atlantic Records' debut, Rolling Papers.

Now he is asking for permission from the Church of England to exhume the body in order to confirm it among other things.

420 Art Show Up In Smoke

a-chronic-state.jpg
This is what we get for running with a press release about an art show with the word "chronic" in the title.

Last week we received an e-mail from a gentleman named Sergio Sandoval associated with skate, surf and smoke-lifestyle company, Long Beach Chronic. The impresario was promoting a 420 event featuring works by various artists including Opie Ortiz and former Rat Fink illustrator, The Pizz, among others. The theme was, take a guess-- weed--as visualized on a quintessential  southern California canvas--the skateboard deck. Sounded promising.
