Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawi Government has asked former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Mike Tyson to be the ambassador for Malawi\u2019s cannabis brand. Minister of Agriculture Minister, Lobin Lowe, has written a letter to Tyson to become the country\u2019s ambassador for cannabis.<\/p>\n

In the letter dated November 1, Lowe noted that the legalisation of Cannabis in 2020 has created opportunities for both medicinal and industrial purposes and has also offered Malawi an opportunity to generate foreign exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn spite of all these perceived benefits, Malawi may not go it alone as the industry is complex requiring collaboration. I would therefore like to appoint you, Mr Mike Tyson, as Malawi\u2019s Cannabis Branch ambassador,\u201d Lowe said.<\/p>\n

Ministry of Agriculture spokesperson, Gracian Lungu, said the United States Cannabis Association is facilitating the deal with Tyson. He added that Tyson was expected to be in the country last week but the trip was postponed as the Ministry is yet to finalise preparations for his engagements in Malawi.<\/p>\n
