Boxing legend Mike Tyson talks to Fox News Digital about the first time he ever used Cannabis and how it played into his recent fight with Jake Paul, as he urges President Donald Trump towards federal reform.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson has been at the forefront of cannabis reform in the United States and this weekend he posted about the issue on social media.

Tyson, 59, was open earlier this month in an interview with Fox News Digital about how he believed marijuana use kept him out of jail.

On Saturday, he posted that drug traffickers and human traffickers will keep winning until marijuana is legalized federally.

"Tired of hearing that legal cannabis will cause mass chaos or have people stinking up the streets," he wrote on X. "That’s just ridiculous. We’ve got rules for cigarettes and alcohol, therefore, cannabis would be no different. It’s about freedom. Adults should have the choice.

"Until it’s legal federally, cartels and human traffickers keep winning."

Tyson would hope to see the plant reclassified by the government from a category that is defined by high potential for abuse with no accepted medical use to a category of moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.
