After partnering with several heavy hitters in the industry, like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, and former rival Evander Holyfield, to produce ready-to-consume products, Tyson has turned his attention to the seed business. According to a report from Forbes, ‘Iron’ Mike unveiled his new partnership with Royal Queen Seeds in February.

This new collaboration will allow consumers to procure seeds online for the initial six different cannabis strains offered by Tyson and the famed pot seed bank. RQS has been producing seeds for their consumers since 2007, with 250 independently owned stores located in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bangkok, and New York.
