According to BBC the country of Malawi is hoping to recruit former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson to become their official ‘cannabis ambassador’ as the nation looks to capitalize on the burgeoning legal marijuana market.
Malawi’s Agriculture Minister Lobin Low has sent a letter to Tyson formally offering him the role. The ministry claims that The United States Cannabis Association is attempting to facilitate a deal between Malawi and ‘Iron Mike’.
Tyson is well known for his use of cannabis. His popular podcast ‘Hotboxin’’ usually lives up to its name with Tyson partaking during tapings.
