Willie Nelson wants more smoke in the kitchen, and he isn’t talking about pork shoulder or a beef brisket. On Nov. 12, the musician will share his favorite weed-based recipes in Willie and Annie Nelson’s Cannabis Cookbook: Mouthwatering Recipes and the High-Flying Stories Behind Them. “Over a lifetime of study, I learned that pot is more than pleasure. Its positive properties are limitless,” Nelson shared in a statement.
The Cannabis Cookbook pairs recipes for appetizers, main course entrees, and desserts with personal anecdotes from the Nelsons about their relationship with weed and food.

Also, I learned why I am far too egotistical to do their job.
