NYP: Mike Tyson dropped dead from drugs — sorta.
“I ‘died’ during my first trip,” the 55-year-old former world champion boxer told The Post at Wonderland, a Miami conference dedicated to psychedelics, microdosing and medicine. “In my trips I’ve seen that death is beautiful. Life and death both have to be beautiful, but death has a bad rep. The toad has taught me that I’m not going to be here forever. There’s an expiration date.”
The “toad” is Bufo alvarius, a Mexico amphibian otherwise known as the Sonoran Desert Toad. It spends seven months of the year living underground, but when it’s active, its venom can be smoked to produce a short psychoactive trip. The venom has long been used in traditional healing rituals but, with the popularity of LSD and ayahuasca among the rich and famous, “the toad” is getting a lot of more attention. read more
And I just thought Mike was punch drunk.
Is that the one that you lick the skin of the toad? He probably did think he was going to die.
Well, that explains the “Mike Tyson Mysteries” anyway…

I died on an acid trip one time. 9:33, that’s when it happened. Now for some reason my eyes always look at the clock at 9:33. It’s weird. Or not…
“Whatcha smokin’ there, Mike?”
“Toad.”
“Toad?”
“Not just any Toad. Trippy Toad. From my pet ‘Trippy’ over there.”
“That looks like some good Toad, Mike.”
“*RIBBET*”
All he had was just the ear.
Picked schrooms in the 70’s.In every cow
field in the “Low Country” of coastal South Carolina
the morning after a good rain.Alot of colors!
Quit because it always made me extremely paranoid.
Thought the devil and the police were after me!
These days caffeine & beer are the only drugs I use.
“Theriouthly, I’ve never been tho thtoned in my life. I was thitfathed.”

“I’m, methed up”
“That’s not Meth, you licked a toad!”
“That’s why I’m methed up!”
You’re all in for a treat with this great old poem written by Mason Williams of Classical Gas fame called Toad Suckers. Here goes, How about them Toad Suckers, Ain’t they clods? Sittin’ there suckin’ them green toady-frogs. Sucking them hop-toads, Suckin’ them clunkers, Suckin’ them leapy types, Suckin’ them plunkers. Look at them Toad Suckers, Ain’t they snappy? Suckin’ them bog-frogs sure makes them happy. Them hugger mugger Toad Suckers, way down South, Stickin’ them sucky-toads in they mouth. How to be a Toad-Sucker? No way to duck it. Gittyseff a toad, rare back and suckit. I first ran across this poem in a little books of poems by Mason Williams in an import market store some 50 years ago. ENJOY!
“I went to hell and back and all I got was a lousy face tattoo”
I used to think Don King was Tyson’s biggest problem, turn out Tyson was always Tyson’s worst problem
Hahahahahahahahahaha …!
Where’s Anonymous?
izlamo delenda est …
The attending physician was quoted as saying ” Mike would have been brain dead if he actually had a brain…
There is something to it: a new perspective feom all parts of your brain, not just your damaged upbringing. But, there are risks, too: already well-functioning people can get twisted.
Everything in moderation…
Hey Mike, did they call Kamala to suck that poison out of your body, I know this suppose to be a part of that experience
Well Ali must have been on drugs too. He thought he could “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”.
I’m not saying anything bad about Mike.
I like him.
He knows he is flawed (like all of us) and tries to be better.
When he did his time, and there are many doubts that his wife was telling the truth.
Many people have exploited him and abandoned him.
He gets a pass from me.
I love the way he ripped Toronto reporter Nathan Downer on live TV and called him a “Punk ass bitch” for calling him a sexual abuser well after he did his time as mentioned. Look it up on Y-Tube.
In his prime, he was the best of all time.
Fearless and he could knock out a cement mixer truck.
May of went somewhere, did leave the building. But came back? Thats up for argument. Lickin a toad or lickin my toes, which is more deadly?
RADIOATIONMAN – I picked plenty of cubensis mushrooms when I was stationed in Biloxi. Like you said, just head for a cow pasture after a rainy night. I laughed so hard my face was sore the next day!
Wondering about the first person that thought smoking toad was something to try.
One toad makes you larger
And one toad makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all.
Go ask Michael
When he’s ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing bufos
And you know you’re going to fall,
Tell ’em a amphibian smoking Tyson
Has given you the call.
Call Michael
When he was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of venom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Michael
I think he’ll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the Black Boxer is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
Remember what the dormouse said:
“Beat his head. Beat his head. Beat his head”
