A long time marijuana advocate, iconic-singer songwriter Willie Nelson is benefiting from legalized pot in Canada.

A Colorado-based company plans to bring Willie Nelson-branded cannabis products to this country, as the legalization date of October 17th approaches.

LivWell Enlightened Health says it plans to combine with Calgary-based CBi2 and 51st Parallel to create what will become a Calgary-based, TSX Venture-listed company operating under the name LivWell International.

The company says it will have exclusive rights to some of the flagship brands of GCH, a cannabis brand holding company founded with the 85 year old legendary country star.
