Prophet Zacharia Posted June 23, 2021 Share #3 Posted June 23, 2021 He started smoking cedar bark, so marijuana was a step up when he started in 1954. He quit smoking it in 2019, allegedly, although still partakes in other manners. Quote "Willie does what he wants when he wants regarding smoking. There are numerous ways of consumption. He has not given up cannabis," his publicist wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the answer would be the same. Cedar bark-> tobacco -> marijuana-> gummies, cookies, brownies, etc. I don’t know about you, but my middle school education regarding the dangers of cedar bark as a gateway drug was sorely lacking. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made us watch Cedar Bark Madness in 8th grade. We thought it was hilarious, but I know a few kids that should have taken it more seriously. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gateway drug was grapevine. We tried to smoke it back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we ever tried to smoke anything that wasn’t tobacco and later marijuana. I missed out on the vine and bark abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted June 24, 2021 Share #14 Posted June 24, 2021 I smoked a joint with Willie back when I worked for the stage hand union in Athens, Ga. Well, I say that. He played a show at the Classic Center and after the show while we were packing the trucks he came out on the loading dock talking to his crew. There were about 12-15 people out there and someone sparked a joint, and then another one was lit, and that led to a 20 minute work stoppage as the bay filled up with people. So, I’ve smoked a joint within about 15 foot of Willie while he was smoking a joint. And then someone yelled, get back to work! We we’re hailed as heroes later that night in the bars. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted June 24, 2021 Share #16 Posted June 24, 2021 Looking at short-haired, suit-wearing pictures from the 60's when Willie wrote "Crazy" and Patsy Cline recorded it, etc. I've wondered if his rebellious lifestyle was initially a gimmick: from long hair to old hats to a beat-up guitar where the sound box is worn open in places from guitar picks wearing at it to illegal drugs. Having become very successful with that lifestyle, he may have figured that was the way to be going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
