“I Was So Into Weed,” Says the Singer-Songwriter, Who Still Takes a Different Kind of Trip From Time To Time
About Four Years ago, Lukas Nelson Made a Life Change. He Gave Up Drinking and Smoking Weed, Got in Shape, and Even Edned His Pilot's License. But the Singer, Songwriter, and Guitrist Stops Short of Saying He's “Sober.”
“I would call it sober Completely, Because I'm do mushrooms. Once a Year, Twice a Year, I'm mushrooms and check in with MySelf,” Nelon Told Rolling Stone During an appeal on Its Country Podcast Nashville Now.
He Also Opened Up About the Juxtaposition of Being the Son of America's Most Famous Weed Proponent – Willie Nelson – And Deciding to Give Up the Habit. Nelson Says Father Understood.
“My Dad Respects individuality. He respect being yourself. He and i Both Now Don't Smoke Weed. I Don't Think it Matterd to Him Either Way,” He Said, Before Detailing Past Marijuana Usage that is Monumental Even for Nelson. “When I was smoking I'd Smoke Six, Seven Joints A Day. I Was So Into Weed.”
Nelson Released His New Album Solo Album American romance Earlier This Summer. It's the First Record Under His Own Name and Withut His Longtime Band Promise Of The Real, Who For Nearly Five Years Backed Neil Young On Tour. During His Nashville Now Interview, Nelson Said He put the group on hiatus to focus on his music. “I Felt that that band Had Become Neil Young's Band. It Started Off as My Band and then Where Neil Heard Us, We All Loved Neil, And We All Went and Became Dissiples and Students of Him,” Heid. “I wanted to be able to do my odwn THING and TO PUT MOST of My Focus On That and Building My Own Crowd.”
