Mike Tyson is back in the news … and not precisely because of his return to the ring, but because of the curious and extravagant hobbies Of which he usually shows off repeatedly, such as smoking marijuana or buying exotic animals such as a Bengal tiger.
The last of Tyson’s hobbies has been revealed by the boxer himself in statements collected by the New York Post in which he confesses that he takes drugs with poison from the Sonoran desert toad. “I ingested the venom of this toad 53 times, but nothing came close to the experience of the first time. That time I ‘died’. It was quite a challenge. I was taking hard drugs like cocaine, but this is another dimension. Before hitting the toad he was a mess. The toughest opponent I’ve ever faced was myself. I had low self-esteem, something that happens to people with a lot of ego, but the toad strips you of your ego. “
Tyson also claims that he discovered this ritual, which involves smoking the poison of the toad and causing psychedelic effects, four years ago and that this helped him lose 45 kilos, reconcile with his family and regain the desire to box. In fact, the New York Post points out that Tyson himself has a breeding ground for these toads from the Sonoran desert on his ranch where he develops his marijuana business in California. “People see how I have changed. My mind does not understand what has happened, but my life has completely improved. The only objective of the toad is for you to reach your full potential and see the world in a different way in which we are all the same and everything is love”, assured.
