After U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions made his outrageous statement that marijuana is “only slightly less awful” than heroin, Willie Nelson is now responding with some advice for the clueless attorney general.

“I wonder if he’s tried both of them. I don’t think you can really make a statement like that unless you’ve tried them all. So I’d like to suggest to Jeff to try it and then let me know later if he thinks he’s still telling the truth,” Nelson told Rolling Stone.

Now 84, Willie Nelson has long been an advocate for marijuana and marijuana freedom. Today, he even has his own brand of pot, Willie’s Reserve, for sale in places where it is legal.

When Rolling Stone asked Willie if there is a downside to smoking marijuana he responded, “I haven’t run into any yet. I guess if you go somewhere it’s illegal, that’s a pretty good downside.”

Jeff Sessions’ statements were such a frightening reminder of the dark ages in which people actually believed marijuana was addictive and dangerous – so much so, that even some state governments began rushing to pass legislation to prevent a federal government move to ramp up the drug war.

Willie Nelson is 84 and proves that age is not a barrier to new information, while Jeff Sessions, who is much younger than Nelson, proves that age does not prevent one from being a relic.

Farm Aid 2016: A Revolution In Food And Farming Is Brewing

The 31st Farm Aid benefit concert opened with a press conference made up of individuals from a number of different areas. Notably, the performers – Willie Nelson, Sturgill Simpson, Neil Young, Dave Matthews, Lukas Nelson, Jamey Johnson, John Mellencamp – joined farmers, activists, and Farm Aid representatives on stage to tell their stories and announce why the concert was being held and the types of projects and results the organization has seen in the past and hopes to see in the future.

The press conference began with words from Dorothy McAuliffe, the first lady of Virginia. When Willie Nelson was asked about the 31st hallmark of what should never have been necessary in the first place, Nelson characteristically responded with a short and chill line: “We’re glad to be anywhere thirty one times.”

John Mellencamp took the mic as well and stated that he is constantly surprised when he tells people he is off to go do the Farm Aid concert and is asked “You guys still doin’ that?” He says he always responds with a question: “You guys still eatin’?”

But it was Neil Young who stole the show at the conference. Young did not simply make a few comments and pass the mic, he addressed the corporate control over food and the recent merger between Bayer and Monsanto. He also sharply criticized Barack Obama.
