"Iron" Mike Tyson Talks Psychedelics and Weed Ahead of His Boxing Return

Joe Rogan Experience #1532 - Mike Tyson

In a friendly and wide ranging exchange with Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast this week, Mike Tyson revealed how psychedelics helped him get back in shape and expand his perspective and understanding of the universe - past, present and future.

If you're not already aware, Tyson will return to the ring to take part in an exhibition bout against a fellow all-time great Roy Jones Jr., 51, at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, on November 28.


Though Tyson smoked marijuana while signing the contract to fight Jones Jr., he said he has pretty much stopped smoking weed while he prepares for the eight-round contest.

After years of substance abuse with drugs including cocaine, Tyson found comfort in marijuana, admitting that it made him a much calmer person.

His discovery of the healing properties of cannabis led him to partner up with businessman Rob Hickman four years ago, who pointed out what a difference weed has made to the ex-boxer's life.

Buoyed by his discovery, Tyson also knew if it could aid him, then others would see the benefits too.

“I thought about how much good I could do by helping people with cannabis," he told Cannabis Tech Today in a previous interview. "It was a no brainer."

It were these revelations that helped Mike Tyson become a weed connoisseur of epic proportions, as demonstrated with a 400-acre farm called Tyson Ranch. Tyson has also been marketing cannabis products since 2016 through his Tyson Holistic label.

But it was his exploration of psychedelics that was most revealing. It was surprising to hear Tyson open up on his substance consumption habits. He admitted to consuming DMT/ Toad, which is a Schedule I narcotic/psychedelic, around 16 or 17 times. This wasn't the first time he's talking about "trippin." He's talked candidly and openly about his experience with "the Toad" last year on Sports Center:

Golden Teacher Mushrooms: Everything You Need to Know

Golden Teacher mushrooms (GT Mushrooms) are one of the most popular strains of psilocybin mushrooms. They are mostly cultivated for their above-average psilocybin potency, which serves as a beginner's gateway to psychedelic mushrooms. They feature caramel-colored stems and caps speckled with yellow hence the name Golden Teacher. 

These psychedelic mushroom strains are also known as golden caps, boomers, goldies, caps, and cubies. While the information on their origin is quite unknown or undocumented, anecdotal reference shows that the golden teacher mushrooms were first reported in a scientific literature in 1906 in Cuba, while research on the strains is most likely to have started in the early eighties.

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.
