Two years ago today (April 20), Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard released the single and video for “It’s All Going to Pot,” a tune from their duet album, Django & Jimmie.

Written by Buddy Cannon, Larry Shell and Jamey Johnson, the song and video were released on 4/20, which is known as Weed Day in cannabis-loving circles because it corresponds with the numerical code for marijuana.

“It’s All Going to Pot” is the last single Merle released before his death on April 6, 2016.

Take the high road and listen to “It’s All Going to Pot” on Weed Day.
