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 Book - An Epic Life
This impressive, entertaining chronicle of Willie Nelson's life is replete with exactly what you'd expect-honky-tonk, long nights on the open road, whiskey, womanizing and weed-but Texas writer Patoski looks beyond country music trappings to find the funny, talented, determined man who became an unlikely icon.

Medical Marijuana in Texas
Statistics, pro's and cons, benefits of hemp to the economy
What ordinary citizens living in the North Austin Subdivision of Roundrock and just twenty minutes farther north the citizens of Georgetown Texas are saying about marijuana laws. The Film includes pro's and con's of legalization from people of all ages, The primary concern from most seem to be about driving under the influence which is understandable. Willie Nelson and friend Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel speak up about the economic boost hemp could provide to the American economy. The video is of national interest, not just local. Highly Recommended Superior Quality Video.

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. "

Art Bell Interviews Willie Nelson about Cannabis
An interesting and fact filled audio only Art Bell inteview and discussion with country music legend and marijuana legalization advocate Willie Nelson from 1997. Discussion includes talk about how Cannabis is the number one cash crop in California, how the United States could benefit from the legaization of marijuana by cashing in around 500 billion dollars a year. 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."
"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."
"Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana... We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society."
"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?"
"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."
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...

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."
