Jason Kempin/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Willie Nelson has never been bashful about how much he enjoys smoking marijuana. Now that states are legalizing it, he’s branching out into the pot business.
Nelson’s new cannabis brand, dubbed Willie’s Reserve, seeks to provide customers with a regulated, natural and high-quality marijuana product in U.S. legal markets.
“I am looking forward to working with the best growers in Colorado and Washington to make sure our product is the best on the market,” Nelson says.
The Country Music Hall of Fame member has long been a supporter of cannabis for personal use and industrial hemp production. He details his long-time use of marijuana, as well as his run-ins with the law for possession, in his new book, It’s a Long Story: My Life, due out May 5.
