Tyson can see where the $$$$ is....

Rope a dope as boxing legend Mike Tyson opens massive cannabis farm

The 51-year-old's dope ranch will also feature a luxury “glamping” campground with cabins and an amphitheatre as California legalises recreational marijuana.

 

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is opening a California cannabis ranch to celebrate the state's legalisation of recreational marijuana.

The 51-year-old former heavyweight world champion has already broken ground on 40 acres in California City, a remote town of 15,000 people southwest of Death Valley.

Tyson Ranch will devote 20 acres to cultivation which “will allow master growers to have maximum control of their environment.

 

It will also have a Tyson Cultivation School to teach dope farmers how to develop and perfect their own strains, a luxury “glamping” campground with cabins, and an amphitheatre.

Tyson has teamed up with business partners Robert Hickman and Jay Strommen, and is supported by city mayor Jennifer Wood.

 

The former ring king is a longtime believer in medical marijuana, which has been legal in California for more than 20 years, and the ranch will also carry out research to develop its clinical uses.

He is also supporting former members of the armed forces with the operating company, Tyson Holistic, employing mainly veterans.

California is expecting a marijuana boom with legalisation, and the mayor described the ranch as a “rebirth” for the city which will create needed jobs.

 

His move into dope growing comes as California becomes the world's largest regulated commercial market for recreational marijuana.

he law change comes into effect today and it will see dozens of newly licensed stores open for business up and down the state catering to adults who enjoy the drug for its psychoactive effects.

It becomes the sixth US state, and by far the most populous, venturing beyond legalized medical marijuana to permit the sale of cannabis products of all types to customers at least 21 years old.

Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Nevada were the first to introduce recreational pot sales on a state-regulated, licensed and taxed basis. Massachusetts and Maine are on track to follow suit later this year.

 

With California and its 39.5 million residents officially joining the pack, more than one-in-five Americans now live in states where recreational marijuana is legal for purchase, even though cannabis remains classified as an illegal narcotic under US federal law.

The marijuana market in California alone, which boasts the world's sixth-largest economy, is valued by most experts at several billion dollars annually and is expected to generate at least a $1billion a year in tax revenue.

"Adding California to the regulated market for cannabis is a really big deal," said Heather Azzi, a senior attorney for the Marijuana Policy Project, an advocacy group working to liberalize marijuana laws.

Most areas of California are sitting out the highly anticipated New Year's Day inauguration of recreational cannabis sales.

 

Many, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, will not be ready for days or weeks because of additional red tape required by city and county governments before would-be retailers can obtain their state licenses.

But business will almost certainly be brisk at newly-permitted shops ready on Day One. They number about four-dozen outlets across California, according to an authoritative guide to the cannabis market, GreenState, published by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Stores authorized to carry recreational weed were set to go on New Year's Day in San Diego, San Jose, Santa Cruz, Oakland, Berkeley, Eureka and Desert Hot Springs, among other areas.

 

Hundreds more are expected to open throughout the state as the year progresses.

Many previously operated strictly as medical cannabis dispensaries under a patchwork of local regulations, and will now be licensed by the state for recreational merchandise as well.

Among the very first will be the Oakland-based Harborside dispensary, which has long ranked as the largest US medical marijuana outlet. It planned to opens its doors at 6am local time on Monday.

 

Customers in the recreational sector - which state regulators prefer to call the "adult use" market - are only permitted to buy an ounce (28 grams) of raw cannabis or its equivalent at a time.

Medical patients can buy unlimited quantities, but must present a doctor's note and have purchased a medical ID card.

The stage for Monday's grand opening was set when voters passed a ballot measure in November 2016, Proposition 64, immediately legalising personal possession and use of recreational pot by adults 21 and over.

 

But it has taken California lawmakers and bureaucrats over a year to devise a licensing, regulatory and tax structure for all phases of the commercial distribution chain.

California in 1996 became the first state to legalize marijuana for medical use, and more than 30 states have since done likewise.

Uruguay became the first and only country to legalize recreational marijuana sales nationally, permitted through its pharmacies starting in July 2017, but is far smaller in comparison, with a population of just 3.4million.

Canada, with a population of 36million, is expected to follow suit this year.

Recreational cannabis use becomes legal in California

California has become the largest state in the US to legalise recreational cannabis use.

As of 1 January 2018, adults aged over 21 can possess up to an ounce (28 grams) of the drug and can grow up to six marijuana plants at home.

Opponents say the law will lead to more driving under the influence of the drug and introduce young people to drug use.

But business is eyeing what could be an industry worth tens of billions of dollars in the next few years.

Californians voted in favour of Proposition 64 legalising cannabis 14 months ago, in a poll that took place alongside the US presidential vote.

Since then, a complicated patchwork of taxes and regulations has been drawn up to govern sales of the drug.

Critics say the red tape will discourage consumers, growers and retailers from leaving the state's vast black market and only a few dozen shops have so far been approved to open.

The cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have yet to sanction any recreational marijuana outlets.

"The first year, two years are going to be a mess," as cities agree their own regulations and supply and demand is established, Troy Dayton told AFP news agency.

He is the CEO of Arcview, a company that analyses the global cannabis market. He predicted there could be "crazy fluctuation in price over the first year or two".

Nonetheless, the potential rewards are huge in the US's wealthiest and most populous state.

In 1996, California was the first state to legalise marijuana for medicinal use.

But Arcview estimates the illegal cannabis market is currently worth an annual $5.1bn (£3.8bn) and once legalised could be worth $5.8bn by 2021.

Legal buyers in the newly created "adult use" market will also now have to pay state, sales and municipal taxes which it is estimated will generate $1bn per year.

They will be prohibited from consuming the drug in public places, with 1,000 feet (300m) of a school or while driving.

Eight US states - Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada and California - have now legalised recreational and medicinal marijuana.

Despite this, the federal government still regards marijuana as illegal, classifying it alongside heroin and cocaine as a proscribed substance.

Massive over-supply in parts of the states,cali growers always complain of price-drops come the autum harvest.In the UK at the moment certain brit growers are trying to encourage UK buyers to invest in UK weed rather than cali-import with the slogan "Grown here,not flown here,buy british" and topical news.....

THE ROYAL WEED

Meghan Markle’s nephew is a cannabis farmer who wants to launch a special strain called Markle’s Sparkle to mark the Royal Wedding

Tyler Dooley helps grow millions of dollars-worth of marijuana in Oregon, US, where it is a legal industry

MEGHAN Markle’s nephew is a cannabis farmer who wants to launch a potent new strain of the drug to celebrate his aunt’s nuptials, it’s been claimed.

Tyler Dooley, who helps grow millions of dollars worth of marijuana, plans to create a heady hybrid called Markle’s Sparkle.

The 25-year-old reportedly claims to be a “pioneer” in an industry that is now legal in the US.

And Tyler, who lives in Grant’s Pass, Oregon, told Mail Online he’d be “more than happy”  to offer Meghan and Prince Harry a sample of his new concoction.

 

Tyler, who apparently last spoke to Meghan three years ago but recalls her babysitting him and his brother, TJ, regularly when they were children, told the website: “Meghan grew up in California and I am sure has an American view on pot.

“I know in England that marijuana is still a taboo subject but it’s more normal to us here because we grew up around it in high school. Everybody experiments with it here.

“Prince Harry enjoys a good party. I’d be happy to show them around if they ever come out here and educate them on the medicinal benefits of marijuana which helps everything from post-traumatic stress syndrome to insomnia to pain in cancer patients.”

Tyler said he smoked his first joint as a high school pupil but no longer uses cannabis.

 

Recreational marijuana was made legal in Oregon in 2015.

And Tyler is reported to have become “fully immersed”  in the booming business, from brokering land for growers to advising them on the type and strain of plants to grow, to working out complex watering and lighting systems.

Next month, when the outdoor growing season begins, Tyler, a licensed medical marijuana grower, will plant the legal limit of 48 marijuana plants on his property – pot he will then sell to patients under Oregon’s medical marijuana laws.

Oregon became the first state to decriminalise marijuana for personal use and has been at the forefront of legalising both medical and recreational marijuana.

Tyler - who last month appeared on Good Morning Britain with his mum, Tracy to speak about not receiving an invite to the royal wedding -  claims he isn’t the only member of his family involved with marijuana.

He told Mail Online that his brother TJ, 26 – another of Meghan’s nephews – gives it to his dog for pain relief, while Tracy, 52, has a job selling advertising, and many of her clients are marijuana dispensaries.

Tyler added: “We are passionate about marijuana and all the good things it brings.”

A spokeswoman for Kensington Palace said: “This isn’t something we’re commenting on.”
