Mike Tyson entered the cannabis business for the first time in the year 2018. Since then, constantly every year, Tyson and his team have tried to upscale the vision of Tyson 2.0 with innovative ideas. Even last year, Tyson found a way to monetize his former rivalry using his products. Keeping that in mind, he teamed up with the former boxer Evander Holyfield to come up with their ‘Holy Ears’ product. This year, Tyson is collaborating with the Israeli medical cannabis company, InterCure. Just the other day, Mike Tyson sat together with InterCure’s chairman and Israel’s former Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, in an interview with Fox Business. They talked in detail about their partnership together.

In the interview, Mike Tyson talked about how their collaboration will prove to be a boon to the denizens of Israel. Barak also stated that even though their company is Israel-based, they’ll be looking forward to distributing the company’s products to other major countries like the UK, Australia, Germany, and even more.

In 2020, there were a massive number of Israelis who were facing depression and anxiety due to the rise of the pandemic. Research done by Tel Aviv University informed that during the lockdown, one in every three Israelis picked up the anxious habits of either teeth grinding or jaw clenching and the whole scenario immensely affected the ‘psycho-emotional status’ of Israelis. These habits really skyrocketed among teenagers in the country.

Mike Tyson referred to these dire straits the country was in when he talked about the benefits of Tyson 2.0’s collaboration with InterCure. He said, “Listen we’re in the cannabis business but it’s also the healing business, the trauma business. And we should all know that Israel had a lot of trauma in the past, and very little presently.
