About the Book

In the midst of the entanglement of the CIA and the Flower Children of the wonderful 60s, Marijuana Smugglers were a new breed. The CIA sent a group of their street-smart bad boys to Jamaica to see if the Rastafarians were planning to flood the U.S. with marijuana. This study backfired and history will show the CIA actually started the smuggling business in Jamaica. They were mostly southern boys from Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. This is their story.
