Willie Nelson Sneaks Weed Into the White House
On this day in 1977, Legendary pothead, Willie Nelson, smuggled a suitcase of weed into the White House.
Nelson was invited to the White House for a sleepover by Jimmy Carter, who thanked the country superstar for his campaign support.
Following a dinner in which the president spoke of his days as a male escort and the singer talked of abusing farm animals, Nelson says that Chip Carter knocked on his bedroom door and invited him to the roof to enjoy a fat Austin Torpedo. “At first I was very nervous” said Nelson, “I never heard of a fat Austin Torpedo before, so I thought it was some kind of weird sex thing. I said sorry Chip I ain’t one to judge what a man does in the privacy of his bedroom, but I ain’t into that scene. Chip laughed and pulled out a big fat joint.”
Nelson got his suitcase and the duo went onto the White House roof. Willie and Chip stayed up all night and smoked a pound of weed. “The view up there is pretty damn cool” chuckled Nelson, “We saw UFO’s, martians and Jesus.”
Nelson wrote about this and many other pot laced escapades in his book “High AF”. Other stories in the book include the time Willie shot Heroin with Ladybird Johnson and snorted Cocaine with FDR.
