Snoop Dogg isn't the only canine with a nose for weed ... TMZ has learned the rapper was ARRESTED in Texas this weekend after a drug-sniffing dog uncovered marijuana on his tour bus.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... Snoop's tour bus was stopped at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca -- a small town in West Texas where Willie Nelson was popped for weed back in 2010.
It's all pretty ironic -- considering Snoop RAILED against cops in 2010 for arresting the country singer, claiming, "They better leave Willie the f**k alone." (video below)
We're told the border patrol ran a standard inspection of the bus with the dog ... when the animal alerted the agents to a possible hit in a waste basket in the back of the vehicle.
The agents claim they found a red prescription bottle with several joints inside. We're told the bottle contained under a half-ounce of weed.
Cops say Snoop admitted the dope belonged to him. Snoop has a prescription for cannabis in California, but law enforcement tells us, there is a zero tolerance policy for weed in Texas ... regardless of his status in other states.
Snoop was issued a citation for misdemeanor drug possession and released.
Attempts to reach the rapper's rep were unsuccessful.
1:25PM PT: The Justice of the Peace in Hudspeth County, TX tells TMZ, Snoop can resolve the entire matter by paying a $537 fine ... unless he wants to challenge the citation, in which case he can make his case in court.

This was in Texas. Everything in that back@ssword state is like 1950.
Give me a break Texas..You are wasting your time/ man hours busting high profile celebrities who have prescriptions for weed, yet you cant stop kilos of cocaine being smuggled in from mexico by murderers...GTFOH
SNOOP IS OK IN MY BOOKS..SMOKE THAT WEED!! BUT NOT IN TEXAS, DONT MESS WIF TEXAS SNOOP!! LOVE YA THOUGH!!
don't the cops have anything else to do?
like solve murders instead of busting snoop for bud.
Texas is the most backwards & f**ked up state in our nation. I will NEVER go there unless it's a matter of my own life or death (or I have a connection in Dallas airport - and I won't leave the airport!)
-
They are the most intollerant bunch of racist rednecks in existence - and sentences there are MUCH harsher than any other state for just about everything (you can thank the Bush family for that).
Love it. A prescription for cannibis. What is his medical problem that he needs a prescription? I'm pretty sure that he has a dozen dealers waiting for him to call and get his weed the old fashioned way. Illegally.
Now Snoop's responsible use of marijuana will be DIAGNOSED a disease and he'll be made to get "TREATMENT" & attend 12-Step religious cult meetings....FOR LIFE, in addition to jail for his horrible crime!
I wonder how many little girls are being brutally raped & buried alive RIGHT NOW while the cops are getting their 15 minutes of fame over this BUST?
"...there is a zero tolerance policy for weed in Texas"
What a load; BILLIONS & BILLIONS in weed flows through Texas & Its Law Enforcement Agent's hands.....
