While discussing the collaboration at the conference, Tyson reportedly asked “Can someone in the crowd pass me a joint?”
After an individual obliged, Tyson thanked them, adding “that’s what I’m talking about,” per Benzinga.
The new product line offers flower, vapes, edibles and pre-rolls. Flair promises “good vibes only,” and it seems that was the case as he and Tyson later sampled some products for onlookers.

For his part, Flair said he got into the “industry out of luck.” He added that he was initially unsure about pursuing work in the cannabis sector but then realized “the cannabis world was taking over.”
Tyson and Flair also discussed how cannabis helped them curb their use of prescription painkillers.
Flair also said that he had replaced his Xanax use with cannabis and that the plant “completely erased my previous addiction.”
According to Benzinga, Tyson 2.0 products are available in 24 states. Last month, the company announced it had partnered with Quebec-based HEXO to launch Tyson’s product line in Canada.
HEXO will produce the company’s flower, pre-rolls, edibles and vapes and the product line is expected to be available across Canada this fall, but in Alberta or Quebec.

Last week, Marijuana Business Daily reported that provincial wholesalers for recreational marijuana in Quebec and Alberta would not sell the former boxer’s cannabis products in their respective provinces.
A spokesperson for Quebec’s monopoly wholesaler and retailer reportedly said the organization didn’t “want to be associated with this image.”
In the U.S., Flair and Tyson are working with multi-state cannabis operator Verano on the Ric Flair Drip line. The products will be initially launched in 11 U.S. states and will include the WOOOOO Chews, in honour of Flair’s signature catchphrase.
