Willie Nelson is about to start selling drugs...so to speak. The 81-year-old country music icon is launching his own brand of marijuana. 

Nelson's signature pot brand, Willie’s Reserve, will be sold in weed-friendly states of Colorado, Alaska, and Washington in the first half 2016.

Nelson spokesman Michael Bowman said, "This is a culmination of Willie’s vision, and his whole life. Willie has spent a lifetime in support of cannabis, both the industrial hemp side and the marijuana side. He wants it to be something that’s reflective of his passion."
