Mike Tyson: Marijuana is "the best thing" that ever happened to him

?

Boxing legend and former world champion Mike Tyson believes marijuana is "the best thing that ever happened to me." People who know Tyson well say he’s always been a relaxed and happy person. However, his attitude toward his personal life took a turn for the better when he turned 30. That’s when Tyson realized he had never had the opportunity to try marijuana and now that he was an adult it didn’t seem so odd. He grew up in a very conservative family where drugs were frowned upon. Moreover, Tyson has problems with depression so he needed all the help he could get. Marijuana has helped him overcome his depression and many other problems in his life, which we think is great because it means it can work for anyone no matter their age or situation. Tyson says he smokes about two joints per day, but that number fluctuates depending on stressors in his life. For example, one of his sons tested positive for drug use recently so Mike didn’t want to bring negative energy into the home. “I smoke weed twice a day just to keep my mind right... It keeps me alert and balanced," Tyson told High Times magazine in 2015. “It helps with my paranoia. I have paranoia anyway because of fighting... But when you smoke weed it takes away your paranoia and makes you feel good."

He has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and has had several surgeries to treat it. That pain could prompt him to try marijuana for medical purposes.

Tyson is a very intelligent and wise man who seems to know what’s best for him.

Why is Mike Tyson interested in marijuana legalization?

People with chronic pain could greatly benefit from medicinal marijuana. For example, patients with severe chronic pain that’s not managed well could be able to live normal, functional lives with treatment. However, there’s no easy way to get marijuana. It’s still a Schedule 1 drug (which means the federal government considers it to have a high potential for abuse and no medical use) and the federal government makes it difficult to research and study it. Which means there are very few studies that have been performed on the benefits of medicinal marijuana. However, people who have had to deal with chronic pain that’s not managed well could benefit from it greatly.
