Reba McEntire recalls the hilarious moment she did some really loud weed with her mom

When Reba McEntire was caring for her sick mother, the last thing she expected was to accidentally get too high.

The legend of the country stopped The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonwhere she recalled a hilarious story she experienced with her late mother, who died in 2020 from bladder cancer. While taking a break from preparing for a tour, McEntire flew back to her hometown of Oklahoma to take care of her mom.

“When I got to Stringtown, Oklahoma, [her sister] Alice said to me, “Now, if mom starts hurting tonight when you go to bed, give her one of these gums. I said, “Okay, okay. The whole thing?” She said, “Yeah, all of that,'' she remembers the marijuana gums she had been given. “Well, I wasn't very comfortable with that, so when we started going to bed, I said, 'Mom, let's get this pain going. I'll give you half of it.”

McEntire noted that after her mother took the gum, she immediately fell asleep, which inspired the “Fancy” singer to take the other half dose herself. “I thought, 'Well shoot, Mom's got it. I have to see what he's going through,” he explained.

However, that decision quickly took an unexpected turn when McEntire was awakened in the middle of the night by her mother getting up to use the bathroom. “I said, 'Mom, hang on, I'll be right there,' and she said, 'I'm fine.' So I threw back the covers and that's where I got to,” he recalls. “I thought I'll either crawl over the bed or walk right around.

McEntire then recreated the hilariously slow, crawling motion she made to get to the other side of the bed, and when she did, her mother asked for ice water. “You know how you can fast forward to something really fast? Reba McEntire found in her mother's kitchen, ice all around. I thought, 'There's no way I'm going like this,'” she said, noting that she gave her mother regular water and told her they were out of ice.

He continued, “I laid down and I swear there were weeds and flowers growing out of my head. So the next day, I asked everyone, “How many milligrams were in that stuff?” 50! I took 25 milligrams with my mother.”

However, McEntire noted, “I was still taking care of mom!”
