Former World heavyweight champion ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson has revealed his newest business endeavour.
Cannabis.
On January 1st 2018 recreational non-medical use of marijuana became legal in the state of California in the United States. Meaning weed is now legal in the Golden State.
According to Time Magazine, California produces more marijuana than any other state in the U.S and Tyson will be joining these fellow growers with a business of his own.
Tyson and his business partners bought 40 acres of land in the California desert in December according to USA Today.
Apparently, they plan to call it ‘Tyson Ranch’ and his luxury marijuana resort will be located just 110 miles north of Los Angeles.
