Compelling history of a marijuana smuggler in the 70s

This book is fantastic! I bought it for a friend of mine interested in finding out how we started this whole business of smuggling marijuana into the US. This author actually became a smuggler to finance his monthly bills for the purpose of allowing him time to write a book. Coincidentally the book he wrote was about his smuggling heritage. He is a phenomenally gifted author to begin with. By choosing to write about what he knew best, he delivers a tale that is rich and compelling. It gives the reader a sense of the dynamics of a smuggling operation but, more importantly, it brings to life the farmers who are simply trying to earn a living and feed their families. An interesting by-product of his tale is the author is a closet "foodie." Much of his planning seemed to be constructed around which towns has some random delicious mexican dish which he has his teeth set for. He goes into detail about the food to such a degree that you are ravenous each time you set the book down (which is hard to do because it's so well written.) It's a real story told by a real person with real life concerns and needs. It's worth every penny you spend to buy this book.

A fascinating read...

Jerry Kamstra weaves a fascinating tale of what was involved smuggling marijuana over the Mexican border in the 60's, and touches on his own views of Mexican and American culture. This is a must read of fans of Hunter Thompson.

Autobiogr. story of smuggling weed, loads of backgr.infos

J.K., long-time-weed-smuggler, tells his story of making a documentation for the LIFE mag. on Mexican weed and how it makes his way up north. Lively written this book provides a whole bunch of information on weed, Mexico and Mexicans in general and history of both. His story ends up with buying a whole Marijuana-field in the mountains of Guerrero and how it is harvested and brought to the states. A must if you're into smoking, Mexico, traveling or just having fun reading exciting smuggler-stories
