Mike Tyson just created a product specifically for Colorado because another was banned

I feel like anytime Mike Tyson makes the news it’s for something interesting, and this story is no different…

The story starts in 2022 when Tyson released his first line of THC-infused edibles, Mike Bites, featuring gummies shaped like ears with a missing piece at the top. That of course from maybe his most famous story, his 1997 fight against Evander Holyfield where he bit part of Holyfield’s ear off. However, Tyson could not sell the clever gummies in Colorado.

In 2017, Colorado banned the production and sale of THC-infused edibles shaped like people, animals and fruit to deter children from mistaking them for other kid-friendly snacks like gummy bears.

So, Tyson is releasing a new product exclusively for Colorado consumers, shaped like little boxing gloves.

Again, these are NOT fruit snacks, but instead a cannabis product. They launched Aug. 20th and you can get them at select pot shops throughout Colorado.
