Willie Nelson's Lawyer -- Expert Weed Defender


They say marijuana affects your memory -- but Willie Nelson seems to remember the lawyer who got him off a weed charge 16 years ago ... because the singer just hired him for his new pot predicament.

TMZ spoke with Nelson's attorney, Joe Turner, who tells us he got Willie off the hook for marijuana possession back in 1994 ... after arguing that officials performed an illegal search of the singer's vehicle.

Now, Turner wants Willie's fans to know the singer is in "good hands" -- and they plan to fight the new misdemeanor pot possession charge Nelson was slapped with in Texas.

Turner wouldn't reveal his strategy for Willie's defense in this case -- but insists he's trying to "produce another miracle" for the country music legend.

Snoop -- Who the Heck Would Arrest Willie Nelson?


Snoop Dogg was fired up Saturday night when we asked him what he thought about Willie Nelson getting arrested on marijuana charges.

Warning: we used "heck" in the headline, but Snoop used a different four-letter word. A lot.

Willie Nelson -- High Stakes in Weed Arrest


It may sound like a joke -- Willie Nelson getting busted for pot -- but the music legend could face some serious jail time ... and a pro pot group thinks they have a way to keep Willie out of the pokey.

Nelson was busted over the weekend in Texas for possession of six ounces of marijuana. A criminal defense attorney in Austin tells us 6 ounces could get Willie 6 months minimum and 2 years max.

But Bruce Margolin, director of the L.A. chapter of NORML, tells TMZ Willie has an ace in the hole -- convincing a jury he just forgot that the California-grown pot was on the bus -- and California is ok with medical marijuana.

Or he could just try the, I'm Willie Friggin' Nelson!!! defense.
