Outlaw country pioneer and marijuana folk hero Willie Nelson appears on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, dubbed “The Weed Issue.”

In a video clip shared by Rolling Stone to go along with their Willie Nelson cover story, Willie recounts his first time doing various things, from smoking weed to writing a song while stoned to braiding his hair to trying his own Willie’s Reserve line of marijuana products.

When asked about his first time burning down, Nelson responds, “I’ve been smokin’ somethin’ as long as I can remember. I grew up smokin’ cedar bark, grape vines… And then, somewhere along the line, Bull Durham cigarettes came in. That’s where I learned to roll pretty good. So it’s kinda been that way ever since.”

The next topic is “Writing A Song While High,” but Willie can’t muster a real answer. “You know, I can’t remember the last one I wrote, so the first one’s way back there.”

When asked about his first time trying his Willie’s Reserve products, Nelson reveals, “I have been the official tester of Reserve since its beginning, so I probably tasted it before anyone else did. … I think it’s like sex. It’s all good [laughs].”
