Tyson is part of the Coalition of Athletes and Entertainers Supporting President Trump’s Policy Objectives, which reportedly sent President Donald Trump a letter urging him to reclassify cannabis as a Schedule III narcotic and easing regulations on banking services for licensed cannabis businesses.
