Mike Tyson sells THC candy in the shape of an ear

Mike Tyson, the iconic American boxer, has just launched a new product from his cannabis brand: edibles in the shape of an ear, referring to the bite he inflicted on Evander Holyfield in 1997.

Most memorable of all? His new THC candies ear-shaped, called Mike Bites, which can be translated as «Mike Bites» but also «Mike's Bites», are not whole, to formalize the piece of ear that Holyfield is missing after Tyson bit his ear in that famous fight.

These THC candies are currently only available in California.

Mike Tyson and cannabis

Beyond his drug use when he was a boxer, and afterwards, Tyson began selling cannabis-based products in 2016, via his Tyson Holistic brand. He has also set up a farm, Tyson Ranch, which grows its own varieties and manufactures products in its own image.

«I've been an opioid user for most of my life. I'm bipolar, tripolar and manic-depressive. I'm all these fucking things. So I took all these pills and it got worse. I became obese, I became a zombie. So I changed my whole life, I started smoking and I no longer use opiates. I lost 45 pounds. My life turned upside down,« he recounted in a 2019 interview with Weedmaps.

Similarly, Tyson recommends the use of the cannabis in athletes I think all athletes should smoke cannabis if they want to. I'm not pressuring anyone. I just tell people who are like me, who are suffering from a long career, [to consider] cannabis.«
