| Mike Tyson Admits His Marijuana Habit Could Destroy Him: "It's Gonna Destroy Us" Mike Tyson, one of the most famous heavyweight boxers of all time, has revealed his habit of smoking marijuana could cause irreparable damage to himself and others. In a recent interview, Tyson revealed he was spending upwards of $40,000 a month to satisfy his marijuana habit. Whilst he admits smoking it makes him feel better, he's "scared" to think about what could happen if he continues down this path. "I smoke every day, several times a day," Tyson said in the interview. "I get high because I have to. I have to have it, it's like oxygen to me. It's really scary, when I think [about] how much I smoke, what it's doing to my body on the inside." The 54-year-old retired boxer, whose official Mike Tyson height is 5 ft 11, also admitted to using marijuana to help him sleep. However, Tyson believes his smoking habit could eventually lead to his downfall. "I'm not gonna be one of those people that [says], 'Hey, I smoke and it's good.' No, it's gonna destroy us," Tyson said. "God gave us this blessing, but we're too stupid to receive the blessing. We're destroying ourselves with it." Tyson hopes that by sharing his story, it will help others think twice about their marijuana use and reflect on the potential consequences of developing an addiction. Tyson's message is a powerful reminder that no one is invincible and reminding us all to take care of our bodies, not take them for granted. |
