The Moose has dabbled in psychedelics.

In a recent Q&A with Macleans Magazine , six-time Stanley Cup winner Mark Messier discussed a “transformative” mushroom trip he took when he was 19-years-old.

Messier said the experience sparked an interest in “Eastern philosophy, meditation, Buddhism, the spirituality of Indigenous peoples. The power of the mind.”

“I grew up Catholic but was interested in a lot of Eastern philosophy. So I think spirituality became more important to me than the so-called religion I grew up with,” he said.

Messier is currently doing media rounds in support of his memoir, No One Wins Alone , which publishes this week.

Now 60, Messier has also been involved in the cannabis industry in recent years. In February, he joined California-based NXT Water, makers of Akeso CBD water, as an equity partner and brand captain . Messier reportedly works with the Akeso executive team on branding, advertising and marketing campaigns, as well as social and digital content, among other initiatives.

Messier previously inked a similar deal with Alberta-based cannabis company Destiny Bioscience in 2019. The 15-time All-Star signed on as a “goodwill ambassador” to help “build business relationships and potential partners,” as well as leverage his celebrity.

A year later, however, the company was placed in receivership and Messier filed a lawsuit after reportedly losing $500,000 . The lawsuit alleges that the company’s CEO, Ed Moroz, made a personal guarantee to Messier that he would not lose money.

“Destiny was not a sure thing. Quite the opposite. It was a worthless company propped up by nothing more than Moroz’s grandiose promises,” Messier said in the lawsuit.
