ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TYSON 2.0 ("the Company"), legendary boxer, entrepreneur, and advocate Mike Tyson's cannabis company, in collaboration with dompen™ today announced the launch of limited edition all-in-one vape pens and one-of-a-kind designer apparel and art. Sale proceeds will go to #breathewithme's non-profit partner New Earth Life, an organization dedicated to transforming juvenile detention centers through poetry, art, and music mentorship.

This groundbreaking collaboration between dompen™, leading producers of disposable cannabis vaporizers, cartridges, and premium resin strains, and #breathewithme, an organization creating racial justice solutions through policy, further solidifies TYSON 2.0's commitment to serving social justice initiatives and supporting youth education programs in underserved communities.

"As a cannabis industry leader, we are dedicated to supporting social justice initiatives that benefit youth and communities affected by the war on drugs. We look forward to assisting future generations' development, inspiring other cannabis brands to go beyond performative measures, and building on the values of social equity and inclusion that TYSON 2.0 has always represented."

Included in the launch are .5-gram all-in-one vape pens in Intergalactic Toad (Indica), Sonoran Toad (Hybrid), and Lemon Pie (Sativa) strains which are currently available at over 40 retailers across California. #breathewithme's non-profit partner, New Earth Life will receive 40% of the proceeds from vape sales.

In addition to the sale proceeds from the all-in-one vapes, dompen™ and TYSON 2.0 are launching a sweepstakes of two unique gift boxes, with an approximate retail value of $4,500 in which 100% of the sale proceeds will go to #BreatheWithMe's non-profit partner New Earth Life, an organization dedicated to transforming juvenile detention centers through poetry, art, and music mentorship.
