Lukas Nelson, the son of country legend Willie Nelson, recently revealed that he stopped smoking weed during the pandemic. In a recent appearance on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, Lukas shared how his father reacted to the news.

When asked if Willie was "heartbroken" when Lukas quit weed, Lukas replied, "No, my father, of anyone, respects someone for being who they are and their individuality." Lukas explained that he stopped smoking weed around the pandemic and realized that it was something that separated him from his father and his old band.

Willie Nelson himself recently revealed that he can no longer smoke weed due to its effect on his lungs. In an interview with Forbes, Willie said, "My lungs have already said, 'Don't do that.' So, I don't really do anything now much except a few edibles."

Lukas also spoke about wanting to make his dad proud by becoming more independent. "I really wanted to make my dad proud by being completely self-sufficient, you know? I wanted to make him proud by not needing him," Lukas said.

Lukas recently released his debut solo album, American Romance, and spoke about how his father inspired him to become involved in music. "My dad would leave all the time, and I'd be naturally upset as a little kid, and I knew that if I learned how to be a great musician, we would be bonded forever," Lukas said.
