How a clever Oxford graduate from South Wales started smoking weed/hash to how he steadily ended up with 43 aliases and 25 companies. Most to help him traffic hashish. After reading this book I’m gonna have less difficulty in understanding business alright. Chapters are cleverly titled. The characters he meets are too cool or funny. Places he’s been to, different ways of smuggling stuff, hiding the smell, money laundering, paper mill business, travel agency business, massage parlour, record company, etc. How he keeps his cool and sarcasm during tense situations.
Life in prisons. Conning the court and other government officials. Of course bits have been added for entertainment. That McCann fellow was the funniest. One of his expressions for a yes or no answer was ‘either shit or get off the pot’.

Educational stuff:
1 – Back in the day condoms were illegal in Ireland.
2 – England smokes 3 tons of weed and hash a day while America utilizes 28 tons. Let me remind you this was at least a decade back.
3 – He mentions Kenya (just excited about that).
Big up Sawan for the recommendation.
