Many country music fans probably didn’t have a Reba McEntire getting high story on their bingo cards for this week, but the legendary singer delivered just that.

During her stop in on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she opened up about the time she split a marijuana gummy with her mother, Jacqueline, who was battling bladder cancer.

McEntire said her sister, Alice, gave her the gummy to give to their mother for pain management, and that before they went to bed, she decided to give ahead of things by giving it to her mom. But instead of giving her the whole gummy, McEntire said she gave her mother half.

“She just went to sleep, and I thought, ‘Well shoot, Mama’s taking it. I need to see what she’s experiencing,’” McEntire told Fallon.

McEntire told Fallon that she had previously taken a gummy “maybe one time,” and that gummy probably contained about two milligrams of THC. This gummy, she said, was 50 milligrams of THC, so she had a lot more in her system than she had experienced before.

And she felt it.

McEntire told Fallon she awoke to her mother getting up to use the restroom and that when she went to help her she “threw back the covers and that’s about as far as I got.”

She then told Fallon that her mother asked her to go to the kitchen and get some ice water.

“Reba McEntire found in her mother’s kitchen, ice all around,” she said imagining the headlines that might come if she fell out on the floor.

“I just turned back to mom and I said, ‘Here you go.’” She said. “And she took a sip and she went, ‘Yuck. Where’s the ice?’ I said, ‘We’re out.’”

McEntire said she was able to get her mother back into bed — or she got herself back into bed — “and I laid down, and I swear, there was weeds and flowers growing out of my head.”

The singer said her mother handled the gummy like a champ, though.

Tragically, McEntire’s mother died in 2020 following her battle with the disease.
