Mike Tyson Poses With Huge Bags Of Weed

Back in his boxing heyday he was a fearsome beast in the ring; nowadays, he prefers to kick back and relax with a blunt or two.

In fact, the 55-year-old seemingly dabbles in more than just a couple, if his most recent Instagram post is to be believed.

Iron Mike can be seen at The Green Solution dispensary in Denver, Colorado, holding aloft massive bags of weed - which he described as 'a week's worth'.

Tyson now has his own cannabis line, Tyson 2.0, and he wishes the drug had become a bigger part of his life earlier.

In fact, he wishes he'd smoked it his whole career.

"I was just a mess, and then after I retired, I started smoking. What a mistake that was - I should have smoked my whole career. I should have smoked when I was fighting because it put me in this different state of mind.

"I'm very relaxed and the more relaxed you are, the better fighter you are at least in my case."

"Before you always read about me in the papers, doing something negative. Now, what happened to that guy? You don't see me partying anymore. That's not my life anymore.

"It's hard to really articulate it from my perspective, but psychedelics helped me assume my relationship with God.

"I don't use it for recreation, I'm not a recreational user.

"This stuff is only done from a spiritual perspective."

In the candid heart-to-heart, he seemed to suggest he missed being the 'annihilator' old, yet he also seemed fearful of the return of his former self.

He said: "I'm working on being the art of humbleness [sic]. That's the reason I'm crying, 'cause I'm not that person no more, and I miss him.

"Sometimes I feel like a b**ch because I don't want that person to come out ... 'cause if he comes out hell is coming with him. And, it's not funny at all. It's not cool like I'm a tough guy. It's just that I hate that guy, I'm scared of him."
