Former two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has recently opened up about his experiences with different forms of psychedelics. The former heavyweight champion is no stranger to using these substances and was not shy to share his experiences after consuming them. Moreover, he talked about his past experiences with Ayahuasca and the Bufo Alvarius toad, revealing why he prefers one over the other.
During a recent episode of his podcast Hotboxin’, Tyson described the differences between the two drugs. He claimed that he had tried Ayahuasca a couple of times but consumed the toad over 80. However, both experiences were very unlike as he detailed the differences between them.

Mike Tyson details his experiences with Ayahuasca and the Bufo Alvarius toad
In the podcast, ‘Iron’ Mike revealed that he was not a fan of Ayahuasca. According to him, drinking the brew made from the plant can cause excessive belching and farting, which he found to be uncomfortable. However, the Bufo Alvarius was different in the sense that it took him “straight to God.”
“I did that a couple of times. That’s a lot of work. That’s a lot of work. Oh, okay, yeah. Drink all. You gotta drink that stuff, and you might be belching and farting all day. So, I don’t like that. That’s a lot of work. The toad takes you straight to God,” said Tyson.
Tyson is a staunch believer in the power of psychedelic drugs and has been an advocate for it. However, it is important to note that both substances can be potentially dangerous if used improperly.
A look into the psychedelic drugs consumed by Tyson
Ayahuasca is a potent brew made from the ayahuasca vine and other plants, traditionally used by indigenous people in the Amazon region for spiritual and medicinal purposes. It is infamously known for inducing intense visions and a profound sense of connectedness with the universe. On the other hand, the Bufo Alvarius toad, also known as the Sonoran Desert toad, secretes a substance called 5-MeO-DMT, which is said to be one of the most powerful psychedelic substances in the world. ‘Iron’ Mike had widely different experiences with both.

Ayahuasca can interact negatively with certain medications and can cause severe physical and psychological distress. The Bufo Alvarius toad, on the other hand, can be lethal if not handled properly, as it contains other toxic compounds that can cause harm. Since these substances can have profound effects on one’s consciousness, it is safe to stay away from them.
