Mike Tyson discussed the NBA's decision to remove marijuana from the banned substances list during an interview with TMZ Sports published on Sunday. He told the outlet that he supports the decision and wants athletes to use his cannabis business, Tyson 2.0.
“Well listen, I would prefer them to use my product cause my product is the best product in the world” the legendary boxer stated in the interview. "I'm not tooting my own horn -- it just is. Look at the write-ups from people that have tried it." Tyson even recommended the strain, Sour Diesel. "If you want to go down and do some indica, you do some OG Kush," he said. "If you wanna stay up and enjoy the world, you do the stuff I always smoke, Sour Diesel. It keeps me thinking."

Tyson also just recently opened his first Coffeeshop TYSON 2.0 in Amsterdam with his friend and CEO Adam Wilks. "It's a real full Tyson 2.0 experience," Wilks told TMZ. "You can buy cannabis, baked goods, ear-shaped cookies, and brownies. You can buy pre-rolled joints … all different Tyson 2.0 cannabis products that you can experience in-house at our café." Wilks also said there are "open discussions to be had," when asked about Tyson 2.0 partnering with the NBA.
The NBA removed Cannibas officially from the banned substances list through their new collective bargaining agreement with the National Basketball Players Association. The league had previously temporarily stopped testing for marijuana during the 2019-20 season. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver explained at the time: “We decided that, given all the things that were happening in society, given all the pressures and stress that players were under, that we didn’t need to act as Big Brother right now. I think society’s views around marijuana has changed to a certain extent.” Check out Mike Tyson's comments on the NBA's new CBA with TMZ Sports below.
