Willie Nelson discussing the legalization of marijuana in video and audio interviews. The benefits of legalizing marijuana for our economy. Willie talks about getting arrested on his tour bus for possession of marijuana and magic mushrooms.

"The evidence is overwhelming that marijuana can relieve certain types of pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by such illnesses as multiple sclerosis, cancer and Aids, or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, marijuana is less toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day."

Willie Nelson Quotes 

"I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?"

"My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round."

" Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play. "

An interesting and fact filled audio only Art Bell inteview and discussion with country music legend and marijuana legalization advocate Willie Nelson from 1997.

Willie on how long it would take for marijuana to be financially beneficial to our country if decriminalized, Willie laughingly said "Oh About Twenty minutes". A must listen audio discussion. Again this interview was recorded back in 1997.

Famous Quotes by Famous People about Cannabis / Marijuana / Hemp 

"It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend."

Louis Armstrong - American Jazz Mu sician


"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana."

Michael Bloomberg - Mayor of New York City


"Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana... We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society."

Jimmy Carter - 39th President of the United States


"Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?"

Henry Ford - Founder, Ford Motor Company


"If the words 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."

Terrence McKenna - American Writer and Philosopher
