Mike Tyson Believes Psychedelics Would've Made Him A Better Fighter

Mike Tyson is a boxing legend, but even he is prone to thinking about his career what-ifs along the way. While that retrospection is usually about mentality or a specific fight, Tyson recently explained why he wanted to be tripping in his prime. Moreover, he spoke to TMZ Sports during an interview about wishing he would've done psychedelics back in his heyday, as he believes they would've made him a better fighter. "Psychedelics is an enhancement more than a de-enhancement," he remarked. "It allows you to go in that realm of just comfortability, relaxness, and prepare to reach your highest level. It's just an amazing feeling."




Of course, given his passion and proximity to the cannabis industry, his interest in drugs is unsurprising. Still, that's quite the jump from a joint to shrooms, but Mike Tyson stands by the value of both as a competitive fighter. In fact, the 56-year-old revealed that he took hallucinogens during a recent training session and said his prime would've been even more impressive if he was on them. Not only that, but he encouraged more athletes to start smoking bud and indulging in shrooms.

"I'm capable of talking to everybody in the sporting world because that's basically where it's needed," Mike Tyson expressed. "We always thought cannabis was a de-enhancer, made you tired, made you weak, but it actually made you more alert and more studious to your field, to your profession." However, not everyone is going to agree with that take, and those drugs often work differently for different people. At least Mike was able to find the most positive and productive parts of the drugs. For the sake of his health, it's also probably a good thing that he regrets not doing them instead of regretting doing them.




Meanwhile, the heavyweight is still thinking about boxing, and he recently revealed who he's open to fight against. The answer is anyone with a bag. "When I see the money people for the end of the product, my mind works clearer," he explained. "I can't express myself right now financially." Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Mike Tyson.
