I believe Paul is still a user, at least occasionally if not regularly. TMZ or somebody had a clip of him walking on stage during some obscure rapper's (or comedian's?, I forget) show and they had purportedly shared a joint backstage just before.
To me it's kind of pitiful to see someone of Willie Nelson's age indulge, even if it apparently didn't shorten his own life any.
Some people just never "grow out" of it. It becomes a psychological if not physical addiction like a lot of other vices, and easy access does compound the problem.
