Mike Tyson Reveals How Psychedelics Saved His Life, Helps Him Stay Sober From Cocaine & Alcohol

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson revealed in a Netflix docuseries, Tyson, that he almost overdosed and died after too much cocaine and alcohol.

He claimed that he has overdosed before, but nothing like this. It was a mix of cocaine and alcohol, and he was saved by a psychedelic that comes from the toxin of a toad called 5-MeO-DMT. 

The psychedelic, which he said he’d used over 100 times, brought him down from his high cocaine and alcohol levels and basically saved his life.

Tyson revealed how his bad addictions to drugs and alcohol almost killed him in general when telling this story. 

He has used the psychedelic since to help him overcome his addiction, even though he had abused it before and claims, “If you’re abusive with it, it will abuse you”.  

The substance is classified as highly abusive and controlled in the United States. It has no accepted medical use, even though there are reasons to believe it could help with depression and anxiety.

The documentary dived into Tyson’s struggles and also his professional career. 

It discussed his tough childhood in Brooklyn, which led him to box.  He was also involved in lawsuits for breach of contract, wire fraud and sexual assault.

Tyson has stayed away from cocaine and alcohol for over a decade, but still uses psychedelics and even admitted to abusing them before his boxing match with Jake Paul.

He said that it has helped him stay away from cocaine and alcohol over the years, but he still needs a reset.

His life has had many ups and downs, but since he left alcohol and cocaine in the past, he has gotten it on the right track for the most part. He has made his fatherhood and family a priority and lives a much more stable life.
