Retired boxing champion Mike Tyson has revealed that he smokes up to $40,000 (Rs. 28 lakh) worth of cannabis in a month.
How does he get his hands on this much weed? From his own 40-acre marijuana farm.
Apparently, he's not above getting high on his own supply. But then he's also not above raping women, so he's not exactly someone to admire.

Growing up in a high-crime neighborhood, Tyson was also forced into the same life.
His boxing potential was discovered by a juvenile detention center counselor and Tyson went on to become the youngest heavyweight champion at age 20.
He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.
After the 1992 rape convictions, he spent three years in prison.

After his release from prison in 1995, Tyson continued to box, albeit he remained a controversial figure. In 2005, he retired with a 50-6-2 (wins-losses-no contest) record, after suffering an eighth-round knockout in an unsuccessful title bid against Lennox Lewis.
