Country legend Willie Nelson, 92, has revealed that he can no longer smoke due to his health. In an interview with Forbes, Nelson shared that his lungs have told him to stop smoking, and he's found an alternative way to enjoy cannabis.

"I can't smoke anymore," Nelson said. "My lungs have already said, 'Don't do that.' So, I don't really do anything now much except a few edibles."

Nelson's Love for Cannabis

Nelson has been open about his love for cannabis throughout his life. He even has his own weed business and has released a THC-infused drink called Willie's Remedy. The "On the Road Again" singer believes that cannabis has helped him stay young and healthy.

"I think it's good, the people like it from what I've seen and heard. It's getting to be pretty popular out there," Nelson said.

Nelson's Smoking Misadventures

Nelson has had his fair share of wild smoking experiences. He once smoked pot on the roof of the White House with one of President Jimmy Carter's sons. He's also smoked with Snoop Dogg in Amsterdam.

"I love Snoop," Nelson said of the rapper. "He and I are great friends — have been forever. It was a lot of fun just hanging out and getting to do some things — Snoop and I."

Nelson's New Album and Positive Message

In addition to his cannabis business, Nelson has released a new album called "Oh What a Beautiful World." He believes that music can bring people together and convey a positive message.

"I think it's time we try to make people happy and talk about the good things and be positive," Nelson said.
