However, <a href=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/2024\/11\/03\/willie-nelson-shares-huge-health-update-after-missing-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">based on the<\/a> latest updates from the legendary singer, he quit the habit altogether for a surprising reason. So, what did he have to say?<\/p>\n<h3>Willie Nelson Is A Living Legend<\/h3>\n<p>When people think of the legends of country music, Willie Nelson is one of the names that pops up for the vast majority of listeners. Some might say Johnny Cash first, and rightly so. However, Willie is in that same breath based on the iconic career he has had, <a href=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/2025\/04\/14\/willie-nelson-91-reveals-next-career-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as well as<\/a> for the longevity that he has enjoyed along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Willie Nelson recently turned 92 years old, proving that, despite his life in the limelight and all of the attention that comes with it, he is clearly doing something right when it comes to aging gracefully and sticking around for the long haul. Over the years, many fans have wondered what his secret has been.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49856\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49856\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49856 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Willie-feature-2.jpg\" alt=\"Willie Nelson\/Credit: YouTube\" width=\"900\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Willie-feature-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Willie-feature-2-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Willie-feature-2-768x393.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/460;\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49856\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Willie Nelson\/Credit: YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Surprising Reason Nelson No Longer Smokes Weed<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to being known for his iconic songs and his longevity, not just in life but in the music industry, one of the things that Willie Nelson has become synonymous with over his long career is his love of smoking weed.<\/p>\n<p>He has been a longtime advocate of smoking weed for both medicinal and recreational purposes, and it\u2019s something else that fans think of <a href=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/2025\/04\/28\/willie-nelsons-wife-reacts-to-claims-he-needs-a-caretaker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whenever they think<\/a> of the singer. However, based on the latest updates making the rounds, Nelson admitted to quitting the herb for a surprising reason.<\/p>\n<p>According to Willie, he recently said in an interview with <em>Forbes<\/em> that he \u201ccan\u2019t smoke anymore.\u201d The country legend went on to add, \u201cMy lungs have already said, \u2018Don\u2019t do that.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans have often joked for years that the only person who could smoke more weed than Snoop Dogg is Willie, but, it looks like Willie has had to give up that title recently.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53160\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53160\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53160 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Willie-Nelson-feature.jpg\" alt=\"Willie Nelson\/Credit: YouTube\" width=\"900\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Willie-Nelson-feature.jpg 900w, https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Willie-Nelson-feature-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Willie-Nelson-feature-768x393.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/460;\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53160\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Willie Nelson\/Credit: YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>What Is Willie Nelson Doing Instead?<\/h3>\n<p>For fans who may be thinking that Willie Nelson has gone off the sauce altogether, it turns out, he just found an alternative to smoking weed. Instead, Nelson has been doing edibles. He went on to say, \u201cSo, I don\u2019t really do anything now much except a few edibles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even at 92, Willie Nelson is still keeping busy. He has a line of products under the Willie\u2019s Remedy banner, and he even released a new album called <em>Oh What A Beautiful World<\/em> back in April. So, at an age where he should be retired, Nelson continues to show that he still has plenty left in the tank, and his longtime fans love to see it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of his THC-infused and CBD products and the reception they have gotten, Willie said, \u201cI think it\u2019s good, the people like it from what I\u2019ve seen and heard. It\u2019s getting to be pretty popular out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJkqpCnSrq3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Willie\u2019s Remedy website offers a range of products, including CBD coffee, tea, vapes, and more. The products are a bit pricey, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/willie-nelson-doesnt-smoke-weed-anymore-but-does-this-instead-11755435\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the reception appears<\/a> to be good from the customer base. The website clarifies that the CBD in the products will not get customers high, as there is not enough THC in the products to induce a full-blown high as you would get if you smoked weed, for example.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about Willie Nelson no longer smoking weed after doing it for decades and switching to edibles instead?
