Mike Tyson has been a defender of the use of marijuana, even for athletes. But there is another drug that used to take in the back of its best moment.
The heavyweight champion revealed in “The Katie Miller Podcast” that Fentanilo “several times” took in the late 90s.
“It was an analgesic, and I used to use it to stop my foot,” Tyson said.

The effects of the drug reached the boxer quite quickly, and quitting smoking was apparently difficult.
“It was like heroin, once you disappear and take off your curite, you start retiring, vomit, as if you were in hero,” Tyson said.
But Tyson had no choice but to stop.
“It was illegal yes [was] Caught in my bloodstream. It was a narcotic, my friend told me. It was new. I told my friend ‘Could I use this?’ No one has heard of that, “Tyson said.
In the podcast, Tyson again requested the use of marijuana, particularly for athletes.
“It’s not a drug. It’s medicine,” Tyson said.

Tyson added that the athletes “play better” when they smoke, and said he would like to have smoked during his fighting days.
Tyson told Pak Gazette Digital in an exclusive interview on June 30, his 59th birthday, that if he fights again, he will depend on whether cannabis is legalized and reprogrammed.
He directed a coalition of current and previous athletes, including Kevin Durant, Dez Bryant and Antonio Brown, who signed a letter to the White House at the end of June, lodging for the Federal Reform of Cannabis. The letter requested the reprogramming of the cannabis of Annex I to Annex III, the clemency of “non -violent” marijuana crimes and the end of “discriminatory banking practices”, related to the financial regulations of the cannabis industry.

Tyson told Pak Gazette Digital in the June 30 interview that reprogramming was the “most important” objective in his letter. He added that he was “disappointed” by how former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden handled the federal marijuana reform, but hopes Trump adopt a new approach.
