Willie Nelson's is an advocate for the benefits of smoking marijuana but the singer admits that he can get — and has been — too high to perform.
Talking to 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' guest host George Lopez from his home in Austin, Texas, Nelson told childhood stories of smoking everything from grapevines to cedar bark in talking about his early relationship with marijuana. The 87-year-old has long been a proponent of the benefits of the drug, and says early in this conversation that he's not surprised to see it being normalized and legalized in many states.

"I think now that it's in 30 states medicinally," he says, "and in a lot of states recreationally it's legal. So it's on the way and I think it's a good thing."
Too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing, however. Lopez tells a story of watching Merle Haggard nearly miss a concert because he'd partied a little too hard and then turns those circumstances to Nelson to address. It's happened, he admits.
