John Smith

So I did a little eight months in a boy's home and came right back. I was so happy to be out. Everything was the same. A lot of things happening. People that weren't in the game when I left are in the game now. So how old are you now, 17? I'm about going on, going on 17, going on 17 when I get out of that. Came out. Hmm, this really wasn't working for me. I told him I wouldn't do it no more.

I'm not going to do it no more. But the marijuana industry was wide open. So I went straight into that, found out how to do that, excelled in that pretty fast, too. Came up from like started with a small amount of money, built that up to a miniature empire, had about two, three workers working with me, never for me. They work with me on side of me.

So we were able to get three, four, even five pounds. But this time, instead of selling it, Retail, we just sold wholesale to the public. We're able to make three, five, 700 profit a day every single day. And I was happy. So again, back in the game, just not doing the hard shit. I'm thinking, well, it's only weed. They can't really bother me for weed. What are they going to do? It worked.

Everybody was happy. We're making money. I start buying cars. Oh, I had to go back to school for the last year of school, though. That was a stipulation when I came out of the boys home since I was going to school there. I had all of my credits. You just go back to school. You'll finish school. Everything's going to be cool. Going to school every day, I bought me a car.

Had enough money to buy a Grand National, which was a big deal at the time. I bought a 1987 Buick Grand National. All the older guys wanted it. I paid about $15,000 for it. They couldn't believe it. But everybody wasn't happy for me again.

At that age, 16 going on 17, I was close to 100K. And everybody wasn't happy for me again because they start competing with me, calling the cops on me. But this time, like I said, it got really vicious because the police didn't like it either. You guys are making all of this money. We have to make $60,000 a year or less to chase you criminals around. So they start playing dirty.

Like I said, everyone I know has had a fight with an Oakland police officer that was around my age group. So what they would do is, again, they will watch from a distance, watch you hide your bundle, watch your workers. And if they catch you in those backyards or they catch you in one of those alleys, it's on. So one day I run in the backyard.

I'm going to go get some stuff to hand off to one of the one of the guys I work with. And it's a cop standing right there. And I ran right into his arms. So he grabs me. But I'm like, who? And I'm not really seeing as fully as an officer yet. We wrestling. We fall on the ground and I hear his keys and his badge. We're literally fighting in the back of this house. It's a grown man. I'm a kid.
