Instead he has been sentenced to five years probation and 800 hours community service following his arrest last October.

At the time police discovered marijuana and a gun in his car plus a second gun at his house.

Snoop�s Lawyer Donald Etra told the court that the rapper, real name Calvin Broadus, has marijuana prescribed for migraines.

The judge ordered that Broadus must have a medical permit for the drug and that his security staff must not be gang members.

If Snoop breaks any conditions of his probation he will go to jail for three years.
