January 7, 2018, marked a significant milestone for the cannabis industry in California, with the legalization of recreational marijuana. In response, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is set to open a 40-acre marijuana ranch in the state, dubbed the Tyson Ranch.
The ranch, which is expected to cater to thousands of weed enthusiasts, will feature a cultivation school, aptly named the Tyson Cultivation School. This educational facility will provide training on farming techniques and other essential information on treating post-traumatic stress and related health issues.
Complementing the cultivation school will be an extraction facility, which will produce pot concentrates, and a manufacturing plant that will create edibles such as cookies and cakes. With its star power and extensive resources, the Tyson Ranch is poised to tap into the lucrative $7 billion industry in California.
Mike Tyson, a renowned actor and former boxing champion, has appeared in several notable films, including 'The Hangover.' His involvement in the project is expected to be a significant draw for visitors and investors alike.
