Known for his tumultuous past and sheer dominance in the boxing ring, Mike Tyson is no stranger to intense experiences. However, his recent revelations on the podcast Hotboxin venture into an entirely different kind of intensity – psychedelic journeys. In a riveting conversation with connective tissue restoration expert Dr. Abhinav Gautam and co-host Stephen Joseph Day, Tyson unraveled a personal narrative that navigates through surreal visuals, eerie encounters, and waves of energy that “go boom”.

This captivating exploration of the mind might seem like the narrative of a sci-fi novel, but for Mike Tyson, it’s a cornerstone of his journey from chaos to clarity. As strange as it may sound, Tyson credits these profound experiences, often as odd as “fighters fighting” and people appearing like “demons”, as catalysts in his battle against addiction

Unveiling Mike Tyson’s psychedelic odyssey

In the podcast, Tyson’s account of his encounters with psychedelic mushrooms was vivid and compelling. “When I take mushrooms, things start moving, those things start closing, fighters start fighting. Some people look like demons,”  Mike Tyson shared. This profound alteration in perception, visual experiences, and interpersonal relations resonated with the scientific literature on the effects of psychedelic substances.

When asked about what happens when he closes his eyes amidst this psychedelic journey, Tyson evocatively described, “A lot of electricity going boom”. Dr. Gautam echoed Tyson’s sentiments, adding, “Exactly, exactly. It’s that energy man, you get.”
