Famed boxer Mike Tyson will be at the Capitol Wednesday morning to advocate for the legalization of recreational cannabis.
Tyson, a well-known supporter of marijuana, has previously been vocal on the issue, directly opposing Sen. Scott Martin’s views on the topic.
In a post on X back in July, Tyson said legalizing the drug isn’t just an expanded opportunity for revenue in PA but rather, a safeguard to preventing drug-related crime.
“Saying “no” leaves the door open for cartels and illicit players to fill the gap with zero safety or age protections. Let’s prioritize health and public safety and give Pennsylvanians the freedom to make their own choices.”
When asked Wednesday about his recent discussions with PA lawmakers, Tyson said the conversations have been “delightful.”
