Mike Tyson Explains Why He Loves Magic Mushrooms

by Daryl Nelson

Mike Tyson once said that he spends $40,000 a month on weed, but that's not the only mood enhancer he's using.

During an interview with Reuters, the boxing legend said he likes taking psychedelic mushrooms for mental health.

"Everyone thought I was crazy, I bit this guy's ear off," said Tyson, referring to his fight in 1997 with Evander Holyfield. "I did all this stuff and once I got introduced to the shrooms ... my whole life changed ... To think where I was almost suicidal to this now. Isn’t life a trip, man? It’s amazing medicine and people don’t look at it from that perspective."
