Goal: Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson sits down with Harvey Levin to discuss his incredible life, including his music, family and his high-profile position in the White House.
Willie Nelson recently recalled a memorable visit with Snoop Dogg in Amsterdam when the two friends saw the sights and “smoked a lot of weed.”
“I love Snoop,” the “On the Road Again” singer, who is gearing up for a star-studded 90th birthday bash, told People magazine in an interview published Saturday. “He and I are great friends — always have been.”
The country legend said he decided to call the rapper once while he was in Amsterdam for work.
“I said, ‘Come here and have some fun.’ So he did, and we hung out at all the hotspots there, The Bulldog and Gray Area and all that good stuff.” Nelson recalled.

Nelson added that they “smoked a lot of weed and had a lot of fun.”
Snoop also mentioned the trip in December, giving Tom Brady his “Let’s go!” podcast that Nelson was “smoking” her while they were playing dominoes in their hotel room.

“We were in Amsterdam on 4/20, and he was doing a concert there, so we went back to his hotel room, and we were playing dominoes,” Snoop told Brady.
“He and I were playing dominoes with each other. He was doing a me-, and I’m just getting higher and higher. He just keeps bringing it up to me, and I’m like, ‘This Old mother—it’s smoking me.”
The two first met when they collaborated on Snoop’s 2008 song “My Medicine” based on pot. He also contributed to Nelson’s 2012 “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”.
Most recently, the duo was featured in Bic’s new EZ Reach Lighter campaign. “It was a lot of fun just hanging out and doing some stuff — Snoop and me,” Nelson said of the commercials.

Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart is also part of the campaign.
As he prepares for his milestone birthday in April, Nelson told PEOPLE, “I’ve been so lucky so far that I hope things continue the way they are.
“I think it would be too much to ask for anything more than what I’ve already experienced.”
