Ricki Lake suggests watching episodes of her talk show High: ‘A Trip’

Lake Ricki you were saying “Nancy Reagan‘ ‘s disciple” because she would always say “no to drugs”, but after growing her own cannabis, she stopped smoking weed – and she doesn’t take herself too seriously.

“What’s good to look at when you’re up? Watching old episodes The Ricki Lake Show on YouTube,” Lake, 56, reveals exclusively in the latest issue My Weekly while promoting her collaboration with Stone Road Farms for her Ricki Lake & Bake line.

Although Lake jokes about being watched The Ricki Lake Show under the influence, he says Our that when she filmed her two series cannabis wasn’t even on her radar.

During that time frame, and Hair spray star he recalls being “very judgmental, very fearful” and “close-minded” about weed, hence the comparison to Reagan, who made famous the “Just Say No” anti-drug campaign in the 1980s.

“I was really adamantly against all illegal drugs,” Lake explains, noting that now she “has done a complete 180 where I have such respect for the drug and love it recreationally.”

Once Lake started growing her own weed in Malibu, California – which led to her eventual collaboration with Stone Road Farms — became a true believer in its healing properties. Plus, he says smoking or drinking cannabis makes a lot of activities more fun.

“We like to take rubber boots to the theater,” says Lake Our her and her husband Ross Burninghamtheater preference. “It does The Broadway Experience all the better.”

He explains: “We’re joking Moulin Rouge. … Moulin Rouge not the best show but (seeing it high) it was amazing. My husband has been humming this thing for days. It was so funny.”

Lake notes that while she doesn’t have a favorite movie to watch, she points to it Elf as “a good movie to watch” during the holidays.

She adds that she likes to do “everything” stoned, but says she’s “not high all day” because she has to “function,” she warns Our“There is a fine line. You can definitely take too much. So I’m definitely on the side of less is more.”

Lake says that as she’s grown up, she’s learned to “prioritize rest,” so cannabis helps with her sleep cycle. He has too helped her on her journey to health.

“I love cannabis. I drink it,” she explains, noting that the brand she consumes is “low in calories” so it’s preferable to a glass of wine with lots of sugar before bed.

Lake adds, “I’d rather have my cannabis drink, which is about 40 calories. You have a nice buzz. It just takes the edge off.”
