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

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.

“G-d also put opium poppies here from which heroin is derived.”

Yes, we make heroin from it as well as painkillers like morphine which saved millions of lives.

God made a lot of things that us humans can choose to use for good or for ill.

He’s an entertainer.

When I think of manly men, there are few that are/were entertainers. Guys like Jimmy Stewart or Charlton Heston. Denzel Washington strikes me as a manly man.

Robert Plant and Mick Jagger may be hetero, but strike me as sissy men.

Willie strikes me as a man that flows whichever way makes him popular with the ‘in’ crowd.

Willie was only 5’6” tall and that may be stretching it.
He was a star in a different age for sure. Yep Willie
would flow whichever way the wind blew. I have seen
him in concert a few times .
