Boxing legend Mike Tyson has had a tumultuous life filled with highs and lows. However, since his retirement from boxing the former heavyweight champion embarked on a journey of self-discovery and reinvention. Central to this transformation is his relationship with marijuana.

Tyson has been an ardent advocate for the medicinal benefits of cannabis, openly discussing his personal use and its positive impact on his life. Moreover, he once even revealed that he spends around $40,000 a month on cannabis, now having become a pioneer in the newly found industry. However, renowned Colombian musician J Balvin found himself in an unexpected situation with Tyson who offered him some weed. Despite this, the Mi Gente hitmaker revealed the reason why he never smokes marijuana after a traumatizing event.

J Balvin details the time he had a panic attack after smoking cannabis

In a recent episode of Hotboxin’, Balvin shared his experience of consuming weed for the first time. He claimed that after smoking a joint with his wife he had a panic attack and felt like he was dying. He also revealed that his skin turned pale which only made him more paranoid.

“Was smoking The Joint, talking s**t with that s**t around. I was with my wife, actually, and she never smoked, and she smokes. She fell asleep, oh my God, and then… and then I was like, I started feeling like I was dying, but I was just quiet. And I started watching my skin, you know? And I’m kind of white, but I was pale as f**k. So, I was watching my hands, and I’m like, ‘Man, I’m dying. I wish no one can tell me that I’m pale as f**k because if someone tells me that, I’m willing to die.’ So then, well, my sound engineer looks at me and he’s like, ‘You’re pale as f**k bro. I died,’ he said.
