In a moment of solitary reflection, have you ever asked yourself, I wonder who smokes more weed; Willie Nelson, or Snoop Dogg?

If so, you'll be happy to hear that the question has finally been brought out into the open, thanks to the Huffington Post's ongoing series of video interviews with celebs. This time, it was Taylor Hicks who spilled the proverbial beans, saying that while the two music superstars probably average the same amount of weed intake, there is one determining factor regarding who smokes more at any given time:

"I think they're neck and neck, actually...It depends on which one of them is touring and which one is not."

Hicks notes that he played blues harmonica on "Gin and Juice" with Snoop, and that while hanging out with him backstage, the two "played PlayStation a lot."

Of course we will all recall that Snoop's other favorite person to get high with is none other than Martha Stewart.
