Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who is also a marijuana advocate, has spoken of his plans to help boost tourism in the Caribbean by developing a cannabis business there.
The 53-year-old boxing legend wants Antigua and Barbuda, which has a nice flow of tourists each year, to become a ‘powerhouse’ for the weed business.
Along with the cannabis farm, Tyson plans to build a luxury hotel and golf course for guests who will be allowed to use the weed products there during their stay.

Tyson believes that the newly-offered marijuana industry will increase the growth of tourism and bring much-needed money to the region.
