Ric Flair Went Into “Cannabis Comma” From Getting High With Mike Tyson

Ric Flair and Mike Tyson are business partners in the cannabis industry. The Nature Boy’s “Ric Flair Drip” cannabis line is part of the legendary boxer’s “Tyson 2.0” brand.

On a recent edition of the “This Past Weekend” podcast, Flair recalled getting high with Tyson, going into a “cannabis coma” and believing he was dead. Flair said,

“I got so high with Mike one night in the Hamptons that I went into a cannabis coma. I actually thought I died. They brought me 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.”

“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 had a long history with Dusty Rhodes and he spoke about the late Hall of Famer’s legacy during the same podcast.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On Rhodes’ legacy: “Great guy. He was so lovable. … [Dusty was] one of the most innovative, right there tied with Vince [McMahon].”

On his history with Dusty: “You know, I wrestled him probably a thousand hours, broadway. He could wrestle for an hour. … He was in good condition. It’s hard to wrestle for an hour.”
