A couple microdosed to celebrate 50 years of marriage, thanks to Chelsea Handler.

During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, Jan. 7, the 50-year-old comedian and actress revealed that she was once an impromptu drug dealer. While chatting with host Jimmy Fallon, 51, Handler nonchalantly mentioned that while recently vacationing in Mallorca, Spain, she gave a pair of strangers LSD to spice up their 50th wedding anniversary.

“I was like, ‘Woah, I can’t imagine being married to someone for 50 years. That’s incredible. I could see something special about you guys,’ ” she recalled. Then she told the older married couple, “I’d love to be a part of your anniversary in some capacity.”

Wanting to mark the milestone in a special way, Handler offered up her kayaks — and hallucinogens.

“They got into the kayak and in my pocket I had a little LSD,” she said.

The This Means War star first asked the couple about their health history, specifically whether or not they “had any heart issues or strokes,” before gifting them a “tiny microdose” of LSD.

“I said, ‘Listen you don’t have to do it, but if you want to do it,’ ” Handler remembered. “They said, ‘We’re having a really good night.’ I’m like, ‘It could get better.’ ”

The couple happily accepted the LSD while the comedian forgot about the late-night exchange until the next morning around 7:30 a.m. when the pair and her kayaks returned.

After the couple climbed out of the kayaks and waved to Handler, she welcomed them upstairs.

“I opened the door to my terrace and the man said to me, ‘Hey, I told you that we were having a great night and you told me you could make our night better and guess what? You did.’ ”

The man went on to detail how he and his wife, while high on LSD, spent “10 hours talking about the most beautiful memories” they’ve had over the course of their life together. They even renewed their wedding vows.

Then, the woman chimed in — but not to talk about her great time reminiscing with her husband.

“She put her hands on my face. It was so sweet. And then she put out her hand and said, ‘Do you have any more LSD?’ ” Handler recalled, causing Fallon and the audience to burst into laughter.

“Am I healer or am I a healer?” she asked the crowd.
