Terry McAuliffe met Willie Nelson, and there was weed

Published



Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe found himself in an “uh-oh” moment following a sit-down with country music legend and pro-marijuana activist Willie Nelson and a can of weed.

A photograph of their meetup posted to social media Saturday by Nelson’s wife Annie, has Nelson, who was in Bristow, Va., for a concert, and McAuliffe. The governor can be seen in Nelson’s bus sitting next to a can of “Willie’s Reserve,” the singer’s personal brand of marijuana, which is illegal in the state of Virginia. The product can be purchased in states like Colorado and Washington, where recreational marijuana has been legalized.
