Jimmy Carter reveals one of his sons smoked pot with Willie Nelson on White House roof during his presidency
EX-PRESIDENT Jimmy Carter confirmed Willie Nelson smoked marijuana on the White House roof while he was in office – and he revealed one of his sons joined in.
Nelson, a country music legend who's also been described as "America’s most famous stoner," first aired the story in his 1988 autobiography.
But he too opened up to the filmmakers, telling them that he offered to show Nelson around the presidential residence after a jam session on Sept. 13, 1980 – exactly 40 years ago on Sunday.
“We just kept going up ’til we got to the roof, where we leaned against the flagpole at the top of the place and lit one up," the younger Carter said.
“If you know Washington, the White House is the hub of the spokes, the way it was designed. Most of the avenues run into the White House."
“You could sit up and could see all the traffic coming right at you. It’s a nice place up there.”
