Mike Tyson and Celebrity Coalition Urge Trump...

Boxing icon Mike Tyson, alongside athletes and entertainers, is pressing
Donald Trump to step in on cannabis reform after Joe Biden failed to
deliver.

*From ring to reform rampage*

Mike Tyson appeared on *Fox & Friends* representing a coalition of athletes
and entertainers, including Kevin Durant, Dez Bryant, Allen Iverson,
Antonio Brown, Roy Jones Jr., Ricky Williams, Lil Pump, and Adin Ross, to
call for sweeping federal marijuana policy changes.

*Biden’s broken promise*

Tyson and the group criticized President Biden for not acting on his 2020
pledge to remedy marijuana-related injustices—highlighting his refusal to
commute clemency requests and leaving thousands incarcerated for offenses
legalized in many states.

*Key reform goals on the table*

The coalition is urging Trump to champion three goals: reschedule marijuana
from Schedule I to Schedule III, grant clemency to those jailed for
nonviolent cannabis offenses, and open federal banking access for legal
cannabis businesses—currently shut out post–Operation Choke Point.

*Personal stakes and public impact*

Tyson emphasized cannabis has been transformative for him, stabilizing his
life. The group notes the legal cannabis industry now employs 450,000
people and generates over $35 billion annually, yet still faces federal
restrictions and a “ridiculous” Schedule I label comparing it to heroin.

*A new front in political crossfire*

This coalition is urging a conservative pivot to Trump-era reforms, framing
cannabis legalization as a matter of justice, economic freedom, and
national competitiveness. With federal change stalled under Biden, they’re
positioning Trump as the catalyst this fall.
