Book Review: Misadventures in the World of Weed
Summary: 4 Stars
The author, a kind-hearted hippy, has some great stories on his smuggling activities, and how he got into reefer running on his sailboat. But it doesn't stop there. As an expert sailor living in Key West and the Caribbean, Sean also delves into details on his sailboats and life in the islands. And, predictably, the stupidity of someone in the operation led to his demise.
I've read quite a few of these books, and I've got to tell ya, Sean's blockage running was a pretty flawless operation - he only made one run a year, took an indirect route not normally used by smugglers. and he would bring the weed in to New York over Memorial Day weekend, when the U.S. Coast Guard was too busy rescuing weekend boaters to spend time with drug interdiction.
The book not only covers his weed runs, but also the author's take on the legality of weed and the hypocrisy of our government overlooking the CIA's cocaine and heroin sales to finance their covert activities. The Appendix has 3 sections which are also worthwhile reading but are separate so as not to interrupt the flow of the book.
If you want to know what it's like to be in prison in the French Caribbean, the author has intimate knowledge. Great story - hard to put down. It amazes me that all these reefer smugglers are such talented authors!
