“I laid down and I swear, there was weeds and flowers growing out of my head,” she recalled of her experience with the drug.
When Reba McEntire was caring for her sick mother, the last thing she expected was to accidentally get way too high.
The country legend stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she recalled a hilarious story she experienced with her late mother, who died in 2020 from bladder cancer. While taking a break from prepping a tour, McEntire flew to her home state of Oklahoma to look after her mom.
“When I got to Stringtown, Oklahoma, [her sister] Alice told me, ‘Now, if Mama starts hurting tonight when y’all go to sleep, give her one of these gummies. I said, ‘OK, alright. The whole thing?’ She said ‘Yes, the whole thing,’” she recalled of the marijuana gummies she was given. “Well, I wasn’t really comfortable with that, so when we started going to bed, I said, ‘Mama, let’s get ahead of this pain. I’m going to give you half of this.’”
McEntire noted that after her mother took the gummy, she fell asleep right away, which inspired the “Fancy” singer to take the other half of the dose herself. “I thought, ‘Well shoot, Mama’s taking it. I need to see what she’s experiencing,’” she explained.
However, that decision quickly took an unexpected turn when McEntire was awoken in the middle of the night by her mother getting up to use the restroom. “I said, ‘Mama, hang on I’ll be right there,’ and she said, ‘I’m good.’ So, I threw back the covers and that’s about as far as I got,” she recalled. “I thought I’m either going to crawl over the bed or walk right around.”
McEntire then recreated the hilariously slow, creeping motion she made to get herself to the other side of the bed, and when she arrived, her mother requested ice water. “You know how you can fast forward on something real quick? Reba McEntire found in her mother’s kitchen, ice all around. I thought, ‘Ain’t no way I’m going that way,’” she said, noting that she gave her mother regular water and told her they were out of ice.
She continued, “I laid down and I swear there was weeds and flowers growing out of my head. So the next day, I asked everybody, ‘How many milligrams were in those things?’ 50! I took 25 milligrams with my mother.”
However, McEntire noted, “I still took care of mama!”
