Mike Tyson Ear Gummies Banned In US State

Mike Tyson's cannabis ear-shaped edibles have been banned in a US state over fears of children eating them.

The incident is one of the boxer's most defining moments, even inspiring a product under his cannabis brand: weed gummies, shaped like a bitten ear.

'Mike Bites' have already rolled out in California, but amid plans to launch elsewhere, they've been somewhat banned in Colorado.

The bill's text reads: "A prohibition on the production and sale of edible retail marijuana products that are in the distinct shape of a human, animal or fruit.

"Geometric shapes and products that are simply fruit flavoured are not considered fruit. Products in the shape of a marijuana leaf are permissible. Nothing in this subparagraph applies to a company logo."

However, this isn't the end of the world for the product: instead of being released as they are, they'll be manufactured in the shape of a 'T' in Colorado, Tyson 2.0 said.

Tyson doesn't take a hands-off approach with the business: he tries every single product, assuring his gummy ears 'actually taste good.'

"I’m better today thanks to the healing powers of cannabis, and I’m eager to share what we’ve created so others can benefit from this magical plant the way I have.”

He said: "What people don't know is Mike is a lot more knowledgeable than they think. They think he is crazy, but he's a businessperson now. You can't be the same way when you get older."
