His character is a writer who has writer’s block, and Snoop's character was trying to help him relax and get his writing going again. In the six-minute scene, Snoop handed him the fake weed, which was supposed to be an oregano mix or something, it turned out it was the real official deal. The "Magic Weed" went on to relax him for real.
