'God put it here': Willie Nelson is launching a cannabis convention
Austin American Stateman ^ | APRIL 7, 2021 | Deborah Sengupta Stith

Posted on 04/08/2021 7:58:58 AM PDT by deport

Throughout his long and storied career, the "Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die" singer has been open about his ongoing relationship with the devil's lettuce. In 2015, as marijuana legalization within the United States expanded, he launched his own recreational brand, Willie's Reserve.

Now Nelson and Luck Presents, the company behind his popular Luck Reunion festival, have announced a new cannabis convention called Luck Summit: Planting the Seed. The inaugural event is scheduled to kick off on April 26 and continue through the country music legend's 88th birthday on April 29.

You see that? Wasn’t it only three years ago, Willie claimed to be giving up smoking grass? If he’s busy promoting a Cannabis Convention, he could catch a contact high just walking around the convention area. It’s going to be a very cloudy day indoors.

He's the country version of Keith Richards - only Willie is 10 years older if you can believe.

I am a big fan of "Willie's Roadhouse" which is a station on Sirius/XM. Lot of good vintage country music played there. Just this morning I heard Hank Thompson's "Six Pack to Go" which I haven't heard in decades.

"I'll Never Smoke with Willie Again"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDQANmQO2g0

Lyrics I always heard that his herb was top shelf Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself. Well don't knock it till you've tried it. And I've tried it my friend. I'll never smoke Weed with willie again!

Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around The last words I spoke before they tucked me in I may discount Bungee jump but, I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again My party's all over before it begins You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend. But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckle Rose The party was Huntsville, but it was after the show Alone in the front lounge, just me and him I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

My party's all over before it begins You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend. But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

Now we're passin' the guitar, we're tellin' good jokes I can tell one's a comin' 'cause I'm smellin' smoke No I do not partake I just let it pass by With a grin on my face and a great contact high

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again My party's all over before it begins You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend. But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again In the fetal position with drool on my chin We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again

Gaa, formatting.

Lyrics

I always heard that his herb was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don't knock it till you've tried it.
And I've tried it my friend.
I'll never smoke Weed with willie again!

Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I may discount Bungee jump but,
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckle Rose
The party was Huntsville, but it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

Now we're passin' the guitar, we're tellin' good jokes
I can tell one's a comin' 'cause I'm smellin' smoke
No I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

In the fetal position with drool on my chin
We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again

And God put goats here too.

Doesn’t mean God approves of everything man can do and has done with a goat.

I am also a big fan of "Willie's Roadhouse" , for much the same reasons as you. But I spend so little time in the car these days, it just wasn't worth spending $5 per month to keep Sirius/XM.

Long story short is that Willie makes great music, but he needs to put down the bong a little more often.

They tell me that homosexuality is natural because animals do it. They also engage in incest, cannibalism, rape, and coprophagia.

He also put oleander.

I would not recommend smoking it or consuming it in any other form but do as you like.

Hey, a new word to insult liberals with.

“Coprophagia and dies! You leftist insect!” Has an academic ring to it.

Yep Praying Mantis bites the head off of her partner 25% of the time and then consumes him.

Black Widow kills her mate too.

What is it about weed that turns people into religious zealots of THC? Junkies, drunks and tweakers don’t do that. Some psych drug addicts do, but not in the level of fanaticism seen in these fogged up potheads. It’s just so weird.

Maybe God intended Hemp to be used as rope?

More trees to avoid...

https://floridahikes.com/floridas-toxic-trees

“Deadly Trees

Now we get into the mean stuff. And by mean, we mean deadly. Both poisonwood and manchineel are native trees, but they are downright dangerous. The endangered white-crowned pigeon eats the plums that grow on both trees, but you can’t.

There’s a reason the fruit of the manchineel was called the “little apple of death” by Spanish explorers. A taste of these caustic fruits could kill you.” snip....

“As you might guess by its name, you do not want to touch this tree. Even by accident. It’s the number one reason you should never bushwhack through a tropical forest in the Keys or Everglades.

I’ve been told that the urushiol in poisonwood bark, sap, and leaves is 100 times more potent than poison ivy. It’s smart to avoid hiking in the rain in tropical hammocks because you do not want the sap dripping on you.”

snip

...”Every part of the manchineel tree is poisonous. Contact with this tree can be fatal. Manchineel is part of the Euphorbia family, which includes poinsettia. A milky sap oozes from this tree and its leaves.

It’s thought that Carib Indians tipped their poison arrows with the sap. It is the most toxic tree known in the Americas, and is found from Southeast Florida south through Central America.

Unlike poisonwood, where you need to have touched oozing sap or a broken limb or leaf to irritate your skin, manchineel is simply nasty all over, all the time. Don’t ever stand under one.

We’ve seen manchineel at both Key Largo Hammocks and Everglades National Park, as well as in National Key Deer Refuge. There are other known localities with it remote areas of the Florida Keys.”

Yeah, he said he gave up smoking it, but he never said he gave up vaping it, or eating it.
