How Long Does Snoop Dogg Microwave His Blunts?
Snoop Dogg microwaves his blunts for 11 seconds to generate heat and unlock a more intense high—here’s the chemistry behind it.
Written by Brandon Topp
July 15th, 2025
Snoop Dogg reveals yet another legendary secret: he microwaves his blunts for exactly 11 seconds. This quirky ritual has gone viral, and it might be backed by some interesting science.
Using a microwave oven to heat your blunt might sound bizarre, but there’s a method to the madness. That short burst of natural heat could spark a chemical reaction that triggers the decarboxylation process, releasing carbon dioxide and activating the readily available psychoactive THC we know and love.
Curious to try it for yourself? Start with a premium roll like Mood’s Traditional Blunt or the knockout blend inside the Jeffrey.

Snoop Dogg Reveals His Microwave Blunt Trick
When Snoop lights up, there’s a little more prep involved than you might expect.
As 420 NJ Events reports, the rap icon has long claimed that he puts his blunts in the microwave for 11 seconds before smoking. He says this produces a more intense high, and the internet has never looked back.
It’s not just a flex — it’s a functional, if odd, example of producing natural heat to prep cannabis for smoking.
If it works for the Doggfather, it might be worth a few seconds of your time.
Get the vibe just right with the Traditional Blunt from Mood.

What Happens in the Microwave Oven?
Let’s break it down.
When a blunt is microwaved briefly — say, 11 seconds — it generates heat throughout the roll.
This sudden natural heat exposure can subtly alter the contents of the blunt. Some claim it helps the wrap crisp up and the flower inside burn more evenly.
Others believe that it gently kicks off a chemical reaction involving water molecules, carboxyl groups, and carbon atoms.
It’s a process called decarboxylation, an essential transformation in cannabis science that ultimately translates into enhanced psychoactive effects.
Unlock big effects in a few seconds with the Jeffrey Blunt by Mood.
The Chemistry of Natural Heat and Decarboxylation
Let’s get into organic chemistry for a minute.
Raw cannabis contains tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) — the non-psychoactive precursor to THC.
When heated, a carboxylic acid group (made of one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms) is released as carbon dioxide. This is the decarboxylation process. Learn more about cannabinoid CBGA and its unique properties.
In other words, generating heat releases carbon dioxide, loses that extra group, and converts THCa into a more potent form. This triggers the feel-good reaction in your endocannabinoid system by binding to your cannabinoid receptors.
Microwaving a blunt for 11 seconds might not fully decarb the flower, but it could start the process — especially if the bud is already partially dried or cured.
Light up with confidence — Mood’s Traditional Blunt brings all the ingredients together for a perfectly balanced hit.
Should You Microwave Raw Cannabis?
Microwaving raw cannabis on its own is tricky — it’s not something we’d recommend. The flower needs to be heated at a specific temperature for a sustained time to fully activate cannabinoids.
But when it’s wrapped and ready to go inside a blunt, a brief microwave session may slightly activate some THCa into THC. It’s not exactly a chemistry lab, but it’s a fun, easy way to amplify your smoking experience.
Remember, though: microwave ovens aren't precision tools. This technique is more stoner science than actual investment advice.
Skip the guesswork — just unwrap a Jeffrey blunt and enjoy.

FAQ
How long does Snoop Dogg microwave his blunts?
Exactly 11 seconds. This is long enough to generate heat, but not so long that it burns or dries out the wrap.
What does microwaving a blunt do?
It can help dry the wrap slightly, improve the burn, and may start the decarboxylation process, making THC more available for a more intense high.
What is decarboxylation?
A chemical reaction in which tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) loses a carboxylic acid group — releasing carbon dioxide — and becomes psychoactive THC. This happens when cannabis is exposed to heat.
Is it safe to microwave cannabis?
Only if it’s already rolled in a blunt without metal or plastic. Never microwave raw cannabis alone or use foil-lined wraps.
Can you get a better high this way?
Possibly. It depends on the quality of your flower, how well it’s rolled, and how efficiently the microwave distributes heat. Results may vary, but Snoop swears by it.
