Country singer Willie Nelson has received Wall Street backing for his 'premium cannabis lifestyle brand'.
The 82-year-old star, who founded Willie's Reserve in 2014, has secured funding from New York-based private equity firm Tuatara Capital.
His marijuana will be grown and sold in Colorado and Washington, the only two states to have fully legalized cannabis sales.
Nelson, 82, said: 'I hear stories from people across the country about how the end of marijuana prohibition is improving their lives. Legal marijuana makes sense. Good business will prove it can work in America.'
