Mike Tyson’s ear-shaped cannabis gummies banned in Colorado – here’s why
Through
Mike Tyson, the legendary American boxer, launched a new product in March: ear-shaped edibles, inspired by his 1997 fight against Evander Holyfield.
His new ear-shaped edibles called “Mike Bites” are missing a small piece. Yes, the little piece of Holyfield’s ear that Tyson took in that famous fight.

“Mike Bites” have already been rolled out in California, but they are not approved in Colorado in their current form. Colorado has a law banning marijuana edibles shaped like humans, Westword reported.
HB 1436, a law passed in 2016, aimed to ban THC-infused lemon drops, jelly beans, and other edibles that might attract children, and the manufacture or sale of edibles in the shape of humans, animals, or fruits for medicinal purposes and medical uses to ban manufacturers and dispensaries of retail marijuana-infused products.
The vegan edibles are “directly applicable” to the law banning the shape of human body parts, Shannon Gray, director of communications for the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, told Westword.
“Mike Bites” is made in Colorado in the shape of a “T”. The gummy bears are expected to be available in recreational pharmacies across the state before the end of the summer.
