Mike Tyson's cannabis brand TYSON 2.0 will debut in Jamaica, the brand's holding company, Carma HoldCo Inc, confirmed Friday. In partnership with NUGL Inc's (OTC:NUGL) Kaya Group, TYSON 2.0 will bring its popular line of infused pre-rolls, vapes, pre-packaged flower and concentrates to Jamaican consumers.
Kaya is one of Jamaica's leading medical marijuana companies. Kaya's diverse operations include a licensed cultivation facility, processing facility, 3 retail herb houses and one ganja franchise in Punta Del Este, Uruguay. Kaya was the first medicinal Ganja Herb House in the Caribbean. This partnership marks TYSON 2.0's entrance into the Caribbean.
Initially, TYSON products will be available at Kaya Herb House locations in St. Ann, Falmouth and in Kingston, with plans to expand into additional retail outlets across Jamaica.
"Bringing TYSON 2.0 to Jamaica is about more than expansion; it's about honoring the island's deep-rooted relationship with cannabis," stated Mike Tyson, co-founder and chief brand officer of TYSON 2.0. "Jamaican consumers can now experience the same high quality and dedication we put into every TYSON 2.0 product. I'm excited to share this journey with them."

Partnering with Kaya Group allows us to merge our premium product lineup with a rich heritage, providing discerning consumers with an unmatched cannabis experience."
Bali Vaswani, CEO of Kaya Group and NUGL, remarked on the partnership's significance: "Our collaboration with TYSON is another defining moment for Jamaica's ganja industry. By combining our local expertise in cultivation, processing and our commitment to quality with TYSON 2.0's global reach, we're creating one-of-a-kind ganja experiences. Every herb has a story, and together we're bringing those stories to life, connecting our community to the world."
Since its debut in 2021, TYSON 2.0 expanded beyond the U.S. and into 16 countries and broadened its portfolio to include other premium product categories, cementing its reputation for crafting memorable experiences.
