From Knockouts to Cannabis: Mike Tyson’s Unconventional Pivot into the Green Ring

*Since the initial launch of Tyson Ranch, the name has been re-branded to Tyson 2.0.

Mike Tyson, once the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, has taken a significant turn from the boxing ring to the burgeoning cannabis industry with the launch of his own brand, Tyson Ranch. Known for his fierce punches and unforgettable in-ring presence, Tyson’s journey into cannabis is fueled by his personal experiences with the plant’s medicinal benefits, particularly for pain management and mental health.

Tyson Ranch, established in 2016, represents Mike Tyson’s foray into the cannabis sector, emphasizing quality and healing properties. Tyson, who has openly discussed his struggles with mental health and substance abuse, credits cannabis with helping him through some of his darkest times. His venture is not just a business, but a mission to advocate for the benefits of cannabis and its potential to alleviate pain and improve the quality of life.

The brand offers a variety of cannabis products, including several strains that have quickly gained popularity among consumers. Among the standout strains from Tyson Ranch is “The Toad.” This strain is renowned for its high potency and is designed to offer a powerful psychedelic experience combined with a euphoric high. Its unique properties are attributed to its high THC levels, which often exceed 30 percent, making it a favorite for both recreational and medicinal users seeking strong effects.

Another notable strain from Tyson Ranch is “Knockout OG.” True to its name, this indica-dominant hybrid delivers a heavy, sedating high that envelops the user in relaxation and is often used for stress relief and insomnia. The strain’s pungent, earthy aroma with notes of pine and lemon adds to its sensory appeal, providing a soothing experience that echoes Tyson’s transformation from a life of intensity to one of healing and peace.

Tyson’s journey to starting his cannabis brand was inspired by his visit to a cannabis festival in California. There, he experienced firsthand the cannabis culture and its emphasis on wellness and community. This experience, combined with his ongoing advocacy for marijuana legalization across the United States, solidified his decision to establish Tyson Ranch. His brand not only sells cannabis but also aims to promote a better understanding of cannabis through research, innovation, and education.

Tyson Ranch is also unique in its commitment to quality and purity. The brand ensures that all its products are cultivated in controlled environments, free from pesticides, and handled with the utmost care. This attention to detail is reflective of Tyson’s own transformation and his commitment to promoting wellness and health, drawing a parallel between his growth in the boxing ring and his evolution in the cannabis industry.

Beyond just producing cannabis, Tyson Ranch plans to expand into a full-fledged resort for cannabis enthusiasts. The proposed Tyson Ranch Resort will offer luxury lodging, an edible factory, amphitheater, and facilities for glamping, making it a destination for those who appreciate the finer aspects of cannabis culture and lifestyle.

Mike Tyson’s pivot from the world of boxing to cannabis is not just a business venture; it’s a testament to his personal evolution and a reflection of his desire to give back to a community that has given him so much. Tyson Ranch is not just selling cannabis—it’s promoting a lifestyle, a movement towards wellness, and a future where the stigma around cannabis can be fully dismantled.
