Willie Nelson smoked pot in the White House when Jimmy Carter was president.
He's appeared on cover of High Times four times. Nelson was arrested on Nov. 26 in Sierra Blanca, Texas and charged with a Class A misdemeanor for possession of marijuana during a border checkpoint stop and search of his tour bus. Following the arrest, Nelson told CelebStoner that he would like to start the Teapot Party. He was previoulsy arrested in September 2006 in Louisiana when his tour bus was searched and police found more than 1.5 pounds of pot and three ounces of psychedelic mushrooms aboard. (He paid a fine.) He sings about "getting busted in Laredo for reasons that I'd rather not disclose" on his song "Me and Paul," which was featured on the Hempilation 2 cd in 1998. His 2005 album Countryman - which blended country music and reggae - has a big pot leaf on the cover. He favors family farmers growing hemp. He's America's best-known celebrity advocate for legalizing marijuana.
Willie's latest work includes collaborations with jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis (Two Men with the Blues) and Asleep at the Wheel (Willie and the Wheel). He's appeared in dozens of movies in feature and cameo roles. He plays Farmer Bob in Surfer, Dude with fellow Top CelebStoners Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. For a terrific biography, check out Joe Nick Patoski's Willie Nelson: An Epic Life. His latest album, Country Music, came out on 4/20. The Texas troubadour turned 77 on April 29.
