JAKARTA - The state of Colorado in the United States has officially banned Mike Tyson's ear-shaped food named 'Mike Bites' due to a law enacted in 2016.

Colorado has banned human-shaped marijuana foods to avoid situations where children are addicted to marijuana.

Tysin's form of food - which is marijuana chewing gum - was created to commemorate a famous incident that occurred in 1997. At that time, Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's right ear in a fight that later became known as 'The Bite Fight'.

Tyson plans to deploy his product throughout the United States where Westword reports that his marijuana gum will be sold in a 'T' shape instead in Colorado.

It is known, Iron Mike has been selling various types of marijuana, food ingredients and extracts since 2016. He is believed to make around half a million pounds per month from this business.

In an interview with Yahoo Finance in October, Tyson said marijuana helped him find mental balance and wished he had started smoking marijuana earlier.

"My life is so miserable, I'm out of control," he said.

“I fight with everyone. If someone asked me for an autograph, I would punch them in the face. I fell apart, and then after retiring, I started smoking.

"It was a mistake - I should have smoked my entire career. I should have smoked when I was fighting because it puts me in a different state of mind. I am very relaxed and the more relaxed, the better you become a fighter. At least in my case."
