Ric Flair Says He Went Into ‘Cannabis Coma’ After Smoking Too Much Weed With Mike Tyson

I always had Ric Flair down as more of a cocaine guy, but apparently he’s really into his weed too and even has his own line of edibles, which he released under Mike Tyson cannabis brand last year.

Even still, he’s probably got to watch his intake at 74 years of age, after describing the time he went into a ‘cannabis coma’ when smoking with Iron Mike. Via Theo Von‘s podcast:

‘I got so high with Mike [Mike Tyson] one night in the Hamptons that I went into a cannabis coma. I actually thought I died.

They brought my back to my room, and I laid there and I wasn’t aware of anything. I kept asking them to touch me, like you do when you think you’ve been hurt.

People were squeezing my hand. I would be talking to them, and they wouldn’t talk back to me. I was on a delayed process.’

The Nature Boy was asking himself if he had died, noting that his conscious thought was the main thing separating the experience from the time he was in an actual coma in 2017:

‘I said to myself, “Did I die? Have I just died? I feel like I did when I was in my coma, but I can think, and I don’t think I could think in my coma.

That’s the way I was talking to myself. All of a sudden, at three in the morning, I sat up in a blur and went, “I’m alive. I’m back.” I called someone on the phone, “Is this really you?” That’s how screwed up I got.’

Flair was man enough to admit that he overestimated his cannabis tolerance, and was just trying to keep up with Tyson. What an iconic blunt rotation that is, though. Mike Tyson and Ric Flair just sharing stories and talking sh*t while getting high on their own supply. Someone even caught them lighting up together in public once:
