I suppose this might be why Willie Nelson is still doing pretty good these days...

The joke is that Willie Nelson has used very high concentrations simultaneously frying his brain cells and staving off Alzheimer's.

Willie Nelson is pretty sharp for his age. I compare him to the much younger President of the United States who blathers absolute nonsense constantly despite no known history of cannabis use and a claimed history of abstaining from all substances.

lots of anecdotal evidence suggests donnie t like stimulants, esp. the kind that you can put up your nose.

It's stress. I'm convinced of it. Little old lady is smoking cigars at 105 years old because she's stress-free. Willie Nelson is looking sharp for his age because he's low-stress. If it helps reduce your personal stress, perhaps...PERHAPS, it's a good thing.
