Like, I didn't like it because I figured I can sell my weed to Ohio, sell my kilos to different buyers, and, you know, not risk, because smuggling has so many moving parts.
So I never considered, you know, I'd be offered, hey, you want to do this, you want to do that.
I'd turn it down.
I had my own gigs.
And it was really consistent money every month, and it's a full-time job anyway.
But having said that, when I wrote the book, I added it up.
I'd done like 12 smuggling trips.
So for a guy that never really wanted to be a smuggler, I certainly, you know, between bringing the loads in from Canada, and then I had actually went on the run when I was like 19 from a cocaine case that I had nothing to do with, and I was living in Jamaica, and then some friends came down, and that was my first trip.
We brought 600 pounds out of Jamaica in a little single engine.
Weeder?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Listen, when I first started doing it, there was nobody bringing in loads of coke.
A kilo of cocaine was $57,000 to $60,000 a kilo.
Holy shit.
In the end, in 1985, we brought in 300 kilos of coke.
And I can tell you that story.
That was a smuggling trip we did.
And at the time, I was selling them for $10,000 to $11,000.
