The company recently introduced a new line of CBD-enhanced beverages as well under the "DWiiNK" name, adding to their ever-growing line of CBD products.
Tyson himself is a huge proponent of marijuana and CBD, and he recently explained how he puffs approximately $40,000 worth of his stuff each month. During an episode of his "Hotboxin" podcast, Iron Mike spoke about his 40-acre ranch in California City, where he revealed just how much he loves the powerful plant.
"What do we smoke a month?" Tyson asked. "Is it $40,000 a month?"
"We smoke 10 tons of weed at the ranch a month," Tyson's podcast co-host and business partner Eben Britton said.
"$40 grand," Tyson continued. "Ain't that crazy? That's crazy shit, right? We take it for granted."
