Willie Nelson’s history with smoking weed
Nelson reports that he has been inhaling smoke into his lungs for many years. He started smoking cedar bark, moved on to cigarettes, and then other substances. Nelson reported that he smoked his first joint in 1954 and has loved pot ever since then.
The country music, pot activist, eighty-six, year-old stoner, is now more health-conscious. He states he is looking after his health now, and that he looks at his lungs as the most significant muscle he has. When he is on stage night, afterward, at night, he is working out because his lungs are working hard. Breathing issues have caused Willie to cancel shows, and as a result, he is generally more conscious of his overall health today.
Studies have shown that a possible adverse danger associated with marijuana smoke is due to holding the smoke in the lungs before exhaling. Research has proven that it can cause chronic bronchitis and injure the cell linings of the large airways. Chronic smoking has been shown to indicate changes in the airway and lung lining that is very similar to the destruction of healthy lung cells that is displayed when smoking tobacco. Experts have been made aware that marijuana smoke contains some of the same toxins carcinogens and irritants that are in tobacco smoking.
Willie Nelson has been an advocate for the marijuana plant for many years and believes that pot may have saved his life. He states if he had continued smoking and drinking like he did when he was 30, 40 years old, he might well have never reached his age today.
