NELSON SAYS TOKING SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WOES



Willie Nelson offers his hopes for society at the dawn of a new age in

Rolling Stone's Millennium Special issue.  In it, the country legend is a

downright poster boy for marijuana, advocating "a little puff before you go

out and make a lot of world decisions."



He adds, "They should start off every world summit with a puff, too, or

maybe just pump a little into the air conditioner. The world would be a much

mellower place."  Nelson also envisions being "able to push a switch and

have pot released into every household all over the world. This invention

would be sure to get a joint in the hand of every world leader, every

morning -- right into their bedrooms."
