How LSD Cemented Willie Nelsons Relationship With Pot
It's no secret that Willie Nelson is fond of weed he recently announced he'll market his own brand of recreational marijuana, "Willie's Reserve.", But pot is not the only drug the "On the Road Again" singer has tried over the years. In his new memoir, It's a Long Story My Life, out this week, he recounts an experiment with LSD in the '70s. "Could I expand my mind?" he asked himself while deciding to take the plunge. "Could I lose my ego?", He may not have lost his ego, but he did lose his grasp on reality. Nelson accidentally took triple the amount his "hippie friend" recommended just two hours before a concert, and had to perform while tripping. Once offstage, he felt even more panicky, but realized he had to relax as much as possible because his trip worsened with anxiety. When it was over, he decided he would never drop acid again. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
