Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer known for his ferocious punches and larger-than-life personality, has stepped into the cannabis ring with his own brand, Tyson 2.0.
Celebrity-backed cannabis brands are a dime a dozen these days, but Tyson 2.0 has generated quite a buzz, thanks in part to the man himself and some…unique product offerings.
Stepping into the Ring with Tyson Weed 2.0: My Experience
Tyson 2.0 aims to deliver high-quality cannabis products at accessible prices. They offer a range of flower strains, pre-rolls, edibles, and concentrates. One of their most talked-about products is the "Tyson Bites," ear-shaped gummies that are a playful nod to the infamous "Bite Fight" with Evander Holyfield.
Tyson Bites: A Knockout or a Foul?
Speaking of Tyson Bites, I had to try these for myself. The novelty factor is through the roof, especially since both Tyson and Holyfield collaborated on the product.
Fun fact: Tyson Bites can't be sold in Colorado because a law prohibits edibles shaped like human body parts.
However, the taste? Let's just say they weren't my favorite. They had an odd, almost "feet-like" flavor with a hint of raspberry. Definitely the worst-tasting gummy I've ever had.
It seems they used unrefined coconut oil, which gave it a strong coconutty taste that overwhelmed everything else.
If you're looking for "Mike Bites near me,"Â Â be sure to call your nearest dispensary and ask or visit the Tyson 2.0 website for their store locator.
A Heavyweight Review: Tyson 2.0 Flower
But let's get to the weed itself.
I managed to snag a few different strains:
Orange Sherb (OS),
Jealousy,
and West Coast Gelato (WGC)
First impression?
The OS tasted like a classic sherbert and packed a decent punch. Jealousy had that distinct Jealousy aroma, and the WGC, while having a slightly sketchy trim, was bouncy and sativa-like. The Orange Sherb, in particular, had me feeling great.
Orange Sherb (OS)
This "Tyson strain"Â delivered a potent and flavorful experience reminiscent of a classic sherbet.
Jealousy
The Jealousy "Mike Tyson weed strain"Â lived up to its name with its pungent aroma and effects.
West Coast Gelato (WGC)
While the trim was a bit rough, this "Tyson strain"Â had a bouncy, sativa-like quality that I enjoyed.
Finding Tyson 2.0 Products: Where to Score a Knockout
Finding Tyson 2.0 products can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on where you live. Their website has a store locator, but it's not always up-to-date. I ended up finding my stash during a weekend sale at nearby dispensary.
Pricing and Value: Is it Worth the Hype?
Price-wise, it's hard to justify at full price. I got my eighths on sale for $55 each, which felt somewhat reasonable. But at the highest price point in NY? Not worth it for me to try it again.
The Final Verdict: Tyson 2.0 Delivers a Solid Punch
Overall, Tyson 2.0 is an interesting brand with some decent products. The novelty of the Tyson Bites is fun, even if the taste leaves something to be desired. The flower I tried was enjoyable, proving that it's not just a celebrity name slapped on a label. And hey, I'm always down to try new cannabis products, celebrity-backed or not. One thing I've learned in this journey is the importance of good trimmers. The same strain can look completely different depending on who trimmed it. It makes a huge difference!
