Snoop Dogg Denied Federal Trademark for ‘Smoke Weed Everyday’ Cannabis Brand

Summary: Snoop Dogg is famous for his love of marijuana, but the U.S. government just told him he can't own his famous catchphrase, "Smoke Weed Everyday." He wanted to trademark the phrase for his new cannabis stores and products. However, officials said no for two main reasons. First, the phrase is already used everywhere on t-shirts and mugs, so it doesn't stand out as just his brand. Second, marijuana is still illegal under federal law, which makes it hard to trademark weed businesses.

Even though he didn't get this trademark, Snoop isn't giving up. He already opened stores in Los Angeles and Amsterdam using the letters "S.W.E.D." instead, and that shorter name is actually getting approved!
