“Bringing Tyson 2.0 products to Michigan with a partner like Common Citizen upholds our promise to share the many wellness benefits of this powerful plant to those who need it most,” said Mike Tyson, chief brand officer for Tyson 2.0. “Before I found
cannabis, I used to be a very different person. This plant has changed me for the better, and I’ve made it my mission to share this gift with fans here in Michigan and across the nation.” Tyson 2.0’s products will initially be available at Common Citizen’s locations in Detroit, Flint, Battle Creek and Hazel Park, and over the course of the first quarter of 2022 expand to over 200 retail outlets in the state.
