In case you missed it, Willie Nelson was on Jimmy Fallon this week.

Of course, the subject of marijuana came up, with Willie talking about how he believes pot saved his life.


"I used to smoke two to three packs of cigarettes a day and drank whatever there was there to drink. I had pneumonia four, five times, my lung collapsed, I almost died. So I said, 'Wait a minute. I ain't getting that high off of Chesterfields.' So I threw out the cigarettes, rolled up 20 joints, stuck it in there and I haven't smoked a cigarette since."

Willie also has his own marijuana brand Willie Reserve, and he says he's the "chief tester". Willie joked with Jimmy saying, "I haven't come across any I don't like."

We can't wait to see Willie in Pittsburgh this Saturday, June 22nd, for the Outlaw Music Festival at KeyBank Pavilion!
