Tyson opening marijuana resort

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is becoming a California marijuana entrepreneur.

TheBlast.com reported that on Dec 20 Tyson and partners broke ground on a plot for a cannabis resort in California City, a remote Mojave Desert town that’s about a 110-mile (177-kilometer) drive north of Los Angeles.

Partner Robert Hickman told the website that the undeveloped land is primed to be cultivated and that “Tyson Ranch” will be an oasis.

In a video of the event, California City Mayor Jennifer Wood thanks Tyson for his commitment to the community.
