Tyson, Flair, and Bronstein are no strangers to the conference, having participated in the event last year.

During the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Chicago last year, Tyson humorously requested for "someone in the crowd [to] pass me a joint?"

After receiving and lighting up the joint, Tyson expressed his gratitude, saying, "Now, that’s what I’m talking about."

Both Flair and Tyson smoked multiple joints on stage while discussing the benefits of cannabis over drugs such as Xanax. Flair shared his journey into the cannabis industry, saying, "I got into the industry out of luck. I’ve known Mike [Tyson] since the 1980s. Chad approached me about it, my old school way of thinking told me I didn’t want to be affiliated with cannabis, but I didn’t realize the cannabis world was taking over."

Flair also revealed that cannabis replaced Xanax for him as a remedy for pain, as the retired wrestler used to have to wrestle up to 454 times per year. "When this came along, it completely erased my previous addiction," Flair said.
