Here’s the blurb
The boxing icon, podcaster and entrepreneur has long embraced the mind-bending benefits of psychedelics and wants to make it easier for his fans to grow psilocybin shrooms at home. “Psychedelics changed my whole life,” Tyson told Maxim. “I wouldn’t be boxing now if it wasn’t for psychedelics.”
The Mikeadelics kit was designed by the shroom svengalis at Advanced Mycology, a company that uses a unique filter strip technology to maximize airflow and protect against bacteria and mold when growing mushrooms.
Tyson, 58, said he used magic mushrooms while training for his 2020 boxing exhibition with Roy Jones Jr., and hasn’t ruled out taking shrooms ahead of his upcoming bout with YouTuber-turned-pugilist Jake Paul, 27, which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Tyson recently suffered an ulcer flare-up that led to the Paul fight being rescheduled for Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The former heavyweight boxing champion said he would need to check with his doctor before ingesting shrooms while preparing for Paul, but noted that he likes to take them before working out.
“It makes me comfortable being uncomfortable,” Tyson said of the altered state of consciousness induced by the drug. “It never puts me in an uncomfortable mode and it’s always challenging me. You just gotta ride with it until it’s over.”
Tyson has been outspoken about his appreciation of psychedelics. He previously invested in Wesana Health, a biotech company that is using psilocybin as a treatment for traumatic brain injuries. In 2021, Tyson credited his use of psychedelic toad venom with losing 100 pounds, resurrecting his boxing career, and reconnecting with his family.
