Willie Nelson's wife, Annie, is piggybacking on the singer's marijuana advocacy with the announcement of her own business, Annie's Edibles. As a branch of the singer's cannabis company, Willie's Reserve, Annie's Edibles makes its debut with artisan chocolates the first product.

Currently available at select dispensaries in Washington state, the hand-crafted chocolates are made from natural techniques, with the chocolate itself made from "consciously sourced ingredients" and low-heat processes that sustain the product's raw qualities, according to a press release. Whole-plant extraction maintains the richness of the cannabis plant, with the chocolates containing a dose of 5mg of THC.

"I make my infused chocolates for people who want to enjoy gourmet cannabis chocolate in a controllable way. It's important that my chocolates are suitable for those with diet restrictions - whether someone is vegan, has Celiac Disease or gluten allergies, requires a low or balanced sweetener diet or if they have a low tolerance to cannabis they can still enjoy the benefits of my infused chocolates," Annie says of her products. She also utilizes a "Zero Crap Policy" that allows the chocolates to be vegan, gluten-free, environmentally-conscious and 100 percent raw.

Willie's Reserve was launched by the legendary country singer in 2016 that features a line of cannabis products garnered from responsible growers. The products are available in Colorado, Washington and Nevada. Nelson recently made a surprise appearance at the 2017 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, after canceling several shows due to illness. He's also set to take the stage at a Merle Haggard tribute concert in Nashville on April 6.
