This celeb normally doesn’t smoke weed, but couldn’t resist trying some of Willie’s finest herbal remedy during a visit to Austin City Limits.

Beloved for his classic country sound, his delightful attitude, and of course – his weed, Willie Nelson is a name almost synonymous with the blending of country music and marijuana. He’s often been one of the first celebrities and musicians to speak out in support of weed legislation and even now, has kickstarted his own special brand of weed called Willie’s Reserve.

During a 2018 visit to Conan O’Brien’s late-night talk show, famed A-Lister Timothy Olyphant revealed that he had a powerful experience with Willie’s special blend!

Olyphant is known for his award-winning acting in roles such as Justified, Damages, Deadwood, The Grinder, and more, but it might be his experience at Austin City Limits with Willie’s weed that leaves an even stronger impression on country fans!

Attending a show at Austin City Limits with his brother who works in the music business, Olyphant was offered some weed, which he refused – until they told him that it was from Willie’s Reserve.

“One hit too many” later, and Olyphant says that he found himself flat on the ground and demanding a sharpie from his brother so that he could “write things down” during a small onset of paranoia.

This hilarious story is definitely one for the record books and Olyphant will forever remember his first experience with some of Willie’s finest.

Watch the full story below – you’re sure to get a kick out of it.
