Willie Nelson was just here at The Idaho Botanical Gardens (last night as a matter of fact). He put on his usual great show. It included Don McLean of “American Pie” fame.

It’s no secret that Willie likes his…you know…wacky weed. Well…if you live in Washington or Colorado, you’ll soon be able legally to partake of Willie Nelson’s premium brand of the “devil’s lettuce”.

"Willie’s Reserve" is expected to be available in select stores in July in Washington, before debuting in Colorado in August.

In a press release that calls Willie “the face of responsible marijuana use in the United States,” Willie says he always knew marijuana would be legalized. He’s just surprised it happened in his lifetime.

“I’ve smoked enough and I want to give back,” he admits candidly. “Now that legalization is spreading across the country, there’s a great opportunity to build a company that can help a lot of people. I hope it gives social justice to those who are incarcerated for doing what we’re now doing legally,” he adds.

To celebrate, Willie performed recently at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington. Then he’s gonna follow up with another concert July 30 at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood, Colorado.

Let’s see if the sales of munchies and fast food goes up in those states as well! Look out Idaho...here comes the "gulfstream contact high!"
