Ed Sheeran was stoned with Snoop Dogg and lost his vision.

The British singer-songwriter disclosed that he got stoned with the Gin and Juice hitmaker during the rapper's performance in Melbourne, Australia in March during an appearance on the Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend podcast.

The Thinking Out Loud singer remembered meeting Snoop behind closed doors with his mother-in-law Ann and wife Cherry Seaborn.

"I've sort of got quite close friends with Russell Crowe over the years and he is really close with Snoop Dogg," he explained. "I don't really smoke at all but I was in the dressing room and they were just like blunt for blunt for blunt for blunt. I was like, I guess at some point during the night, I have to, just to say I smoked with Snoop Dogg."

The 32-year-old acknowledged that his eyesight was impacted by inadvertently smoking too much. "He asked, 'Do you want some?' I gave him a little and thought, 'This is good, I don't feel too bad.'" Then I have a little bit more, and then I have a little bit more, and so on," Ed went on. "I just remember thinking, I can't see right now," as I looked at him. Cannabis aficionado Snoop is well known, and he even uses a personal roller to roll his own joints.

Unfortunately, he had a bit too much than what he can endure and he lost his eyesight temporarily.

"He was like, 'Do you want some?' so I have a bit and I was like, I don't feel too bad, this is good. Then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more," Ed continued. "I just remember looking at him and being like, I can't see right now."

Snoop is famous for his love of cannabis and he even employs a personal roller to make his joints.

During a lengthy pub crawl in honor of the release of his new album, "Autumn Variations," which was released on Friday, Ed Sheeran assured New Yorkers that drinks were on him.

In a video posted on social media on Friday, the singer of "Eyes Closed" revealed his intentions to spend six hours going into different bars and getting the next round for strangers. "Let's go," Sheeran said, and then the video showed him having a good time speaking with patrons, shaking glasses with strangers, and taking pictures with staff members at a Stout NYC location. "I'm having my first drink when we enter the first bar. In the video, he remarked, "I've got drinks for everyone in the bar, but we're not there yet, we're not there."

After that, Sheeran went to the subway, got another drink, played beer pong with the fans, then went to another bar to take shots with other patrons. Later, he went to the Greenwich Village section of New York City and stopped at Off the Wagon. There, he was greeted with cheers and given additional shots.
