Mike Tyson Apologizes for Interrupting FOX News Cannabis Reform Discussion

Mike Tyson appeared on 'FOX and Friends' to passionately advocate for federal cannabis reform, emphasizing the need for clemency for individuals imprisoned on marijuana-related charges. During the interview, Tyson apologized for interrupting the hosts due to his fervent commitment to the cause, highlighting the outdated classification of cannabis as a Schedule I narcotic alongside heroin and crack cocaine. Tyson, at 59, is part of the Coalition of Athletes and Entertainers Supporting President Trump's Policy Objectives, which includes notable figures like Kevin Durant, Allen Iverson, Roy Jones Jr., Adin Ross, Lil Pump, and Wyclef Jean. The coalition sent a letter to President Trump criticizing former President Joe Biden for failing to fulfill his promises on cannabis reform and urged actions such as reclassifying cannabis to Schedule III, providing clemency for nonviolent offenders, and ending discriminatory banking practices for cannabis businesses. Tyson also discussed the coalition's efforts to facilitate safe banking access for cannabis entrepreneurs and faced an awkward moment when questioned about his relationship with President Trump during the interview. Overall, Tyson's advocacy reflects a broader push within the coalition to correct disparities in federal cannabis laws and promote criminal justice reform under President Trump's administration.
