Lucinda Williams “thrilled” to have a namesake Colorado cannabis strain

Denver marijuana dispensary Kind Meds developed a marijuana strain and named it after Lucinda Williams.

The musician was honored.

“It’s awesome,” Williams said. A Denver friend snapped a photo of the bud and sent it to her, she said.

“I was thrilled,” she said. “I haven’t tried it. I’ve got to find something that doesn’t make me paranoid. Maybe this doesn’t, I don’t know. But back in the day when I used to smoke, back in the ’60s, it was pretty mild. We’d all laugh and giggle while we’d listen to Buffalo Springfield or Led Zeppelin. As the years went on, it just got so strong, it would make me paranoid, and anxious, so I just quit doing it after a while.”
