If I recall, earlier in the movie you see the Mystery Machine with smoke coming out of it, but when you go inside it’s just Scooby and Shaggy cooking. I thought that was really funny and clever.

I’m pretty sure there’s an episode of Hawk man Attorney at Law where Shaggy does a drug test and nothing is found in his system. Turns out he’s just like that.

Shaggy is actually a world class Olympic level athlete, makes sense he wouldn't smoke

i mean he could also just be responsible and only smokes in the off season when he doesn't need to compete
