Mama June Shannon talked about her drug use in a recent episode of 'Mama June: Family Crisis.' Shannon and her boyfriend were doing "quite a bit" of methamphetamine, and the habit got expensive, she said during a reunion with daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon for
"I mean, it was a couple ounces a day," the elder Shannon told her daughter. "Our habit was US$2,500 a day, if not more."She first came to fame as the mother of Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, a child beauty pageant contestant who was the star of the very popular TLC series, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."
That series, a spinoff of the child pageant reality show, "Toddlers & Tiaras," ran from 2012 until it was cancelled in 2014 amid reports Shannon was dating a registered sex offender, something she denied at the time.
