Monday April 20th was the unofficial marijuana holiday for enthusiasts all over the world and country music legend Willie Nelson had something special to celebrate.
The country crooner and famous stoner put on a 4/20 themed variety show called “Come and Toke It.”
The show featured Kacey Musgraves, Matthew McConaughey, Jeff Bridges, Billy Ray Cyrus, Toby Keith, Tommy Chong, Ziggy Marley, Bill Maher, Beto O’Rourke and many more who signed up to celebrate “our favorite gal, Ms. Mary Jane.”
Nelson took video calls from virtual guests who played him songs and wished him a “Happy 4/20” and “Happy birthday.”
The four-hour-and-20-minute extravaganza streamed at 4:20 p.m. Central time (2:20 p.m. Pacific time) on Twitch and Facebook, and had promised “cannabis-centric music, food, education and comedy” in support of the Last Prisoner Project. The project advocates for the decriminalization of weed.
“Well, happy 4/20 out there, y’all,” Nelson said last week in a brief promo video. “Y’all have a hit for me and pass it on.”
