Mike Tyson is now a player in the cannabis industry
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, along with some of his business partners, broke ground on a 40-acre ranch in California. Here they are expecting to pave the way for a new destination for growers and consumers can enjoy cannabis.
The “cannabis resort,” which will be named “Tyson Ranch,” will be located in California City, a town in the Mojave Desert about 110 miles north of Los Angeles.
Twenty acres of the ranch will be set aside for cultivation and opportunities for growers to enhance their skills. The ranch will also feature an edibles manufacturing center, amphitheater and “glamping” aka “glamorous camping” area.
California City Mayor Jennifer Wood called the ranch a “rebirth” for her town, which never had the chance to fully develop in the way its 1950s developers intended.
