Dr. Dina saved Snoop's life, yo!

She found a doctor in San Francisco who provided him with medical marijuana. Inspired by the experience, she facilitated the opening of a doctor's office for weed patients. She thought it would be great to get a celebrity client – and she knew just the right person to reach out to. "When the doctor wrote Snoop his note, he was so excited that he told Tiny, his seven-foot security guard, to put it in a silver briefcase," she says. "You'd have thought it was a million dollars."

Dr. Dina is now trying to establish herself as the friendly PR-ready face of the medical-marijuana movement. She stayed behind the scenes for the past decade, as a consultant to the medical-marijuana shops, and never got a piece of the Weeds action. "I didn't even know the show was happening," she says. "I saw this billboard with some girl who looked like me, and it said WEEDS. I was so scared: 'My game is up – they're coming to get me.'" She laughs. "It was around my birthday, and I thought it was a practical joke by Snoop. He goes, 'Girl, I love you, but a billboard's 50 grand – I ain't paying 50 grand for nobody.'"

These days, she's more interested in the science of cannabis – a friend who has a tissue-culture lab just made a kush strain for Snoop called "Snoop Lion Executive Branch."

I think the phrase "the science of cannabis" needs to be used more!

Executive Branch is the name for Snoop's entire smoking line, from cigars to cigarillos.

"The Gentleman's Choice" ... I like that.
