The set date, ‘4/20’ is unofficially used to celebrate cannabis day. However, Doge proponents are starting a campaign to commence a celebration of the meme coin on the same date annually. The aim of Doge day this year was to push the coin to $1 which did not materialize however, the coin hit a new ATH on the 20th of April.
Snoop Dogg being a cannabis enthusiast and Dogecoin enthusiast, had the liberty to integrate both entities in his celebration. He celebrated both Dogecoin and cannabis in a video he shared on his verified Twitter platform yesterday. The rapper in the video pictured himself and a Shiba Inu dog (the dog breed that inspired Dogecoin) in a spaceship flying all to space. The ship had inscriptions of weed, and the dog, when it landed in space, was dressed in a cloth with pictures of cannabis.
