Shortly after announcing that he felt his “expiration date” fast approaching, Mike Tyson told Muscle and Health Magazine that he takes psychedelics every day, particularly “mushrooms.”
Do You Even Trip, Bro? On Psychedelic Masculinity. Cathy Reisenwitz, Aug 25, 2022, Psychedelic Spotlight
It’s now been more than thirty-four years since my first acid trip, and I’ve taken the illegal sacrament well over a thousand times. There’s hardly a psychedelic substance listed on the encyclopedic website Erowid that I haven’t tried at some point in my career. (I love Erowid! I think that one can effectively argue that Erowid—the largest drug resource on the Internet—has helped to save more lives than any other educational resource in human history.) Additionally, with the exception of only several weeklong or monthlong breaks, I’ve used cannabis almost every day since I was around fourteen.
At the very least I’ve been using psychedelic drugs several times a year since that first magical night in 1977, often much more frequently, so it’s really impossible for me at this point in my life to even imagine how differently my mind would have developed had I not bathed it in a continuous sea of psychedelic potions since I was a teenager. But it’s self-evident that my experimentation with these substances dramatically affected the course of my life and the development of my mind.
Overall, though, I would say that the effects of psychedelics on my life have been overwhelmingly positive.
