By Chris Goldstein, Senior Editor

Each month our editorial team, led by Editor-in-Chief Steve Bloom, works hard to bring you stellar content. The issue for May is one of our best yet.

We feature an exclusive excerpt of Willie Nelson’s new book «It’s a Long Story: My Life.»

Willie has been a great friend to National NORML and to Freedom Leaf. He sat down for an interview on his bus for our premier issue last October.

This time we get an intimate look at Willie’s relationship with marijuana.

Willie turns 82 on Wednesday April 29th. Check out the full excerpt in our digital edition here.
