Reba McEntire ‘Maybe’ Had a Gum with Her Mother Before Accidentally Taking 25mg

Gummies are not part of it Reba McAlldaily life.

The 69-year-old Queen of Country told a story The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon about accidentally taking 25mg of gum He said he had limited experience with psychoactive sweets while caring for his late mother, Jacqueline.

“Maybe once, you know, two milligrams or something like that,” McEntire said during the interview.

The “Fancy” singer accidentally overdosed on gum while caring for her mother, Jacqueline, in January 2020, about two months before her death. Died of bladder cancer in March of the same year.

At that time, Reba went to Oklahoma to spend time with Jacqueline and give her siblings Alice, Pake, and Susie a break from caring for her. Alice instructed Reba to give Jacqueline a full bedtime gummy, but she “wasn’t too happy about it.”

“When we started going to bed, I said, ‘Mom, let’s get through this pain. I’ll give you half of this,'” she explained. “‘So, what do I do with this?’ “I said, ‘Put this between your cheek and your gum like a Skoal sauce thing,’ you know? He did that and boy, he just went to sleep.”

Reba added, “I thought, ‘Then shoot. My mom’s got it. I need to see what you’re going through.'”

The Grammy winner took the other half and “went to sleep.” In the middle of the night, Jacqueline woke up to use the restroom and her daughter realized how much the gum was affecting her mental state.

“I threw back the covers – and that was all I could do. And I thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to help him. I’m going to look like a wimp if I don’t,'” Reba said. “So I thought I would either crawl on the bed or walk around.”

Happy’s Place Star successfully approached Jacqueline and she asked for a glass of ice water, but the kitchen was “too far away”. She quickly found herself imagining a potentially dark news headline: “Reba McEntire finds ice everywhere in mom’s kitchen.”

“So I turned to my mom and said, ‘Here you go.’ She took a sip and said, ‘Ugh, where’s the ice?’ I said, ‘We’re out’. ‘Are we out of ice?’ “And I said, ‘Yes,'” Reba continued.

After putting Jacqueline back to bed, Sound the ram “grew taller” – and he swore he saw “weeds and flowers growing from my head.”

“The next day I asked everyone, ‘How many milligrams were in this stuff?’ I asked.” Reba detailed that she learned that each gummy contains “50” milligrams — presumably THC — but did not specify. “I took 25 milligrams. I gave my mom 25 milligrams. I was still taking care of my mom!”
