Willie Nelson, an outspoken supporter of weed, is now eying cannabis business. As marijuana becomes legalized for recreational or medical use in more than 20 states, the country music veteran plans to launch his own brand of "sticky green." Dubbed "Willie's Reserve", the line is expected to be available next year.
"He wants it to be something that's reflective of his passion. Ultimately, it's his. But it was developed by his family, and their focus on environmental and social issues, and in particular this crazy war on drugs, and trying to be a bright light amongst this trail as we're trying to extract ourselves from the goo of prohibition," the brand's spokesperson Michael Bowman told The Daily Beast. "Really he wants it, at the end of the day, to envelop what his personal morals and convictions are."
"The Real Housewives of New York City" star Bethenny Frankel is also reportedly planning a marijuana line. To further expand her Skinnygirl empire, the weight loss guru is rumored to introduce "a specially engineered strain of pot designed to not give you the munchies."
