R600K A MONTH ON MARIJUANA

Mike Tyson is no stranger to hallucinogens. The 55-year-old father of seven once credited the venom from a Sonoran Desert Toad for helping him destress and lose almost 50kgs.

When it comes to marijuana, Tyson revealed in 2019 that he spends a whopping $40 000 (R594 000) a month on the drug.

The star athlete also owns a 40-acre cannabis ranch, which he opened in 2018 after California legalized recreational marijuana.
