On Saturday, he published that drug traffickers and people traffickers will continue to win until marijuana is legalized at the federal level.
“Tired of hearing that legal cannabis will cause mass chaos or make people sorry in the streets,” he wrote in X. “That is simply ridiculous. We have rules for cigarettes and alcohol, therefore, cannabis would not be different. It is about freedom. Adults should have the option.
“Until it is legal at the federal level, posters and people traffickers continue to win.”
Tyson would expect to see the plant reclassified by the government of a category that is defined by a high potential of abuse without accepted medical use for a category of moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.

It is one of the three points that Tyson defended in a recent letter to the White House of President Donald Trump who wrote along with other athletes and superstar artists, such as Kevin Durant and Allen Iiverson.
Tyson added that he believes that the reprogramming of marijuana is the main priority in its federal reform objectives. He and his followers also want to see mass clemency for non -violent marijuana criminals. Tyson said that seeing people go to jail for these crimes was an unfortunate memory of his childhood.
“I always knew. I always knew that I am a friend of those people, people come from my community,” Tyson told Pak Gazette Digital.
He remembered a member of his community that he saw to go to jail when he was a child and was not released until Tyson became an established fighter.

A recent study by UC San Francisco researchers determined that eating edible cannabis, such as gummies, has the same cardiovascular risk as smoking marijuana for long -term users. The risk comes from the reduced function of blood vessels, according to the study, published in Jama Cardiology on May 28.
