Mike Tyson says in Netflix’s new four-part documentary that repeated cocaine overdoses nearly killed him, recalling one episode in which he was bleeding, sweating and hysterical.
The 60-year-old former heavyweight champion says his drug abuse had become extreme; the film also shows him using 5-MeO-DMT, or “toad venom,” which his wife says was introduced to help him recover.
Tyson says he has used the substance more than 100 times and has not used cocaine or alcohol since, adding that he still turns to it before major decisions.
The documentary revisits Tyson’s long public history with addiction, including a 2006 drug-possession and DUI arrest and a 2007 sentence of probation and one day in jail.
