Tyson said, “When I’m drunk, I make a fool of myself, but that’s not as bad as how I am without weed — I’m too intense.” He joked that weed is more socially acceptable than alcohol and likened quitting to losing peace, saying his family begged him to resume smoking.

Tyson recounted how he once took five days off weed before a fight against Jake Paul, which made him feel too intense and unsettled. He also confessed to the irony of being the face of the cannabis industry despite not being highly educated on the subject. Overall, Tyson’s story highlights how deeply cannabis is integrated into his life and how his family’s concern influenced his choices.
