Mike Tyson Says He 'Died' After Smoking Psychedelic Toad Venom

Iron Mike may have met his match in the Sonoran Desert Toad, and he wants the world to know it's changed his life.

Speaking at Miami conference dedicated to psychedelics, Mike Tyson said he has tripped off the toad venom 53 times in his life. But nothing came close to the experience of his first "trip."

"I 'died' during my first trip," Tyson told The New York Post. "... I did it as a dare I was doing heavy drugs like cocaine, so why not? It’s another dimension. Before I did the toad, I was a wreck.
