Mike Tyson spends US$40,000 a month on marijuana

-

Former boxer Mike Tyson is known to be a fan of marijuana, and he’s now revealed just how prolific his usage is with an admission about his spending habit.

Jim Jones appeared on Mike’s podcast, Hotboxin’, to talk about his own cannabis business, Saucey, and the rapper admitted that it had made sense for him to invest in the marijuana industry because he often buys the drug for his own personal use.

In response, Tyson asked his cohost, Eben Britton: “What do we smoke a month? Is it US$40,000 a month? ... Yeah, US$40,000 a month.”

Britton added: “We smoke 10 tons of weed at the ranch a month. Ain’t that crazy?”

The Hangover star has invested in the industry himself and has

plans to grow high-quality strains of THC and CBD while “implementi­ng cutting-edge technology to advance the research on the health benefits of marijuana”.

Tyson bought a ranch in California City for his business, with half dedicated to agricultur­e and another section for the Tyson Cultivatio­n School, where cannabis farmers can learn the best growing techniques.
