Rapper Snoop Dogg has launched a new lifestyle website devoted to cannabis, claiming his respository will be an encyclopedia on the drug.

The website, merryjane.com, went live on Monday with a website which asked users to register for early access to the site.

The rapper described it as an online venue for information, insights, news and business guidance about the marijuana world and it boasts celebrity allies including actor Seth Rogen and singer Miley Cyrus.

Snoop Dogg, pictured, announced that a beta version of his pro marijuana website Merry Jane has gone live

The rapper told the TechCrunch conference in San Francisco that he uses cannabis for 'medicinal reasons'

People can register for early access to the website which hopes to be an encyclopedia on cannabis

He told the TechCruch Disrupt conference in San Francisco: 'We will be like the encyclopedia to the cannabis world.'

Merry Jane, which will be ad-supported, will try to connect legal shops and customers, according to a promotional video shown at the conference.

'I enjoy it for medical reasons,' Snoop Dogg responded when asked why pot was such a passion for him and so deeply tied to his persona as an entertainer.

'It is a peace situation for me. Every time I have been around it, I have seen beautiful things happen. I've seen people manifest love, peace and harmony.'

The rapper-turned-startup-investor predicted that marijuana would be legal in California and 20 other U.S. states in two years.
