NELSON SAYS TOKING SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WOES

Willie Nelson offers his hopes for society at the dawn of a new age in
Rolling Stone's Millennium Special issue. In it, the country legend is a
downright poster boy for marijuana, advocating "a little puff before you go
out and make a lot of world decisions."

He adds, "They should start off every world summit with a puff, too, or
maybe just pump a little into the air conditioner. The world would be a much
mellower place." Nelson also envisions being "able to push a switch and
have pot released into every household all over the world. This invention
would be sure to get a joint in the hand of every world leader, every
morning -- right into their bedrooms."
