Boxing legend Mike Tyson says he spends $40,000 on weed every month

Boxing legend and cannabis fanatic Mike Tyson has been enjoying the relaxing life during his retirement.

Speaking on the Hotboxin’ podcast, as reported by The Mirror, Iron Mike revealed just how much weed he smokes each month.

He said: ‘What do we smoke a month? Is it $40,000 (£33k) a month? It’s $40, yeah, $40,000 a month.’

The 53-year-old has his own school for prospective weed growers at the ranch called ‘The Tyson Cultivation School’.

Tyson even admitted to smoking marijuana before he beat Andrew Golota in 2000, which he won after Golota failed to answer the bell for the third round.

Tyson is a strong proponent of the positive effects of cannabis, and is looking to advance the research into CBD, often used to treat inflammatory ailments.
