Mike Tyson Uses Psilocybin in Fight Preparation

Mike Tyson has revealed that he incorporates psychedelic mushrooms into his training regimen for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul, describing the experience as 'beautiful' and transformative. During his appearance on Logan Paul's podcast, Tyson stated, 'I have to take them when I train,' and emphasized that they enhance his focus and recovery. He is part of a growing trend among athletes across various sports, including hockey, golf, and MMA, who are microdosing psilocybin to improve performance. Medical professionals, like Dr. Ara Suppiah, estimate that around 4% to 5% of professional golfers are using this practice for heightened awareness and faster recovery. Tyson has also previously discussed his experiences with the venom of the Sonoran Desert Toad, which he claims has changed his perspective on life and death. This exploration of psychedelics is seen by some athletes as a tool for not just sports performance, but overall life enhancement.
