I was ‘iffy’ about it when I found it at a nursery I was doing a trade with. But it does grow nice. I took 1 plant from them of it, and when I took clones I got 35 the first time!
edit…It’s well worth growing, you’ll enjoy the buzz and it bushes out fast, the one I started with was only around 4 months old when I cut clones.

It would be a crime to name it Willie Nelson if it wasn’t something special. I don’t even listen to his music but Willie is a badass. Snoop Dogg said Willie smoked him under the table! I know names are at the discretion of whoever made the strain but I would really hope that one was taken seriously and it’s fitting.

Believe it not, I smoked with Willie in the late 70s in Austin. He owned a pool hall on the south side that his mom ran…nothing on the juke box but him, Waylon, and the Outlaws

Was he as chill as reported? That’s friggin awesome!
Some people would want an autograph or a picture, others would swoon over sharing a meal. Having a drink or smoking with him is where it’s at, and let’s be real it’s Willie so it’s gotta be smoking.

From everything I’ve ever heard he’s the same guy he was then. I want to believe it to!
Saw him roll a joint one handed on Howard Stern once. He wasn’t even showing off or anything. Howard heard he could do it and asked if you would so Willy obliged.

Didn’t everyone?
lol I used to be able to, but not anymore lol
edit… me and them ‘itis’ boys are good friends…you know, arther, burr, etc
edit… But, I had a lot of practice since I was (still am) a heavy smoker and I rolled my own cigarettes as well as rolled my joints. So figure if I smoked a couple packs a day plus joints…you get the pic. lol I still roll my own cigarettes with organic tobacco, but use an electric machine now.

When I was looking into THCV I found the strain and read it was created for him and he bought the whole first batch. Might be just a rumour, no idea.

Wouldn’t know, didn’t ‘hang out’ with him lol it was just a couple times at his bar
but it does sound like something he’d do
He was playing with a few friends and handed me his bag and asked me to roll a couple, so I sat in front of the bandstand rolled a joint took a hit when I lit it, then passed it up to him, he hit it and passed it to the band, it would go off the stage other side. He told me to ‘keep em coming’ lol

And that’s why I carry my can of cones wherever I go, in case Willie needs a J. I can’t roll for shit so I’m not gonna risk letting Willie down.

My meeting him was a total accident lol I was staying in Austin for the winter that year (actually I think it was closer to the mid '70s) and this pool hall was down the street a few blocks from me, so I went there to play and have a couple drinks. I thought it was a bit strange that nothing on the juke box but Willie, Waylon, Jesse Colter and Tompall Glaser and The Outlaws after I went there a few times I found out it belonged to Willie and his mom ran it for him. Then he came in and it was on! lol
edit… google the song ‘I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again’ every time I hear it I feel nostalgic! 
because everyone was paralyzed

Funny story…The strain was named after having smoked it, he bought the ENTIRE harvest!!! Because of that, he was given the Honor. It’s a Sativa blend, Highland Nepalese and Vietnamese Black, long 11 week flowering. Grab you, shake you for a minute, let you loose, and watch you fall on ya tush kinda smoke, finally allowing you to mellow and mellow. Have rarely found someone who disapproved. SS/BW, enjoy the weekend Holiday…mister

Looking forward to that one appearing in my mailbox one day. 
Even better that his approval was why they named it after him!
