Recently there was information that the hemp empire Mike Tyson expands successfully. The Tyson 2.0 brand is already bringing in more than a million dollars a month in reportedly for the legendary boxer, though reports to that effect are hard to verify. In any case, Iron Mike's business - once bankrupt and squandering a huge fortune - is growing fast. And the latest product of his company can become a marketing masterpiece.
Marijuana-fortified snacks called "Mike Bites" have been launched in California. Their name and shape play on the theme of Tyson's second fight with Evander Holyfield in 1997. Tyson bit off part of Holyfield's ear during the fight and was disqualified. Mike's new snack is shaped like a bitten off ear.
Marijuana was a form of therapy for Tyson - the youngest world heavyweight champion in heavyweight history - although smoking large amounts of it also caused problems - in 2000, Mike's fight with Andrzej Golota was declared a no-contest due to doping discovered in his marijuana samples.
Today, Tyson cannabis products are available in various forms in most states that have legalized recreational marijuana. This includes Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Alaska, Massachusetts, Maine, California, Nevada, Vermont, and Michigan.
