Former boxing champion Mike Tyson won’t be allowed to sell a new line of ear-shaped cannabis gummies in Colorado.

That’s because the new edibles, shaped like ears with a bite out of them in a reference to the 1997 World Boxing Association Heavyweight Championship when Mr. Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear, break state law, according to the Huffington Post.

State law in Colorado prohibits marijuana edibles from being shaped like humans, animals, fruit or other images that could attract children, the outlet says.

Tyson 2.0, Mr. Tyson’s seven-year-old cannabis company, still plans to sell the edibles, but will modify their shape from a “bitten ear” to the letter “T” before they debut later this year, according to the article.
