Secrets Of A Professional Pot Smuggler: A Rare Glimpse Into The Underworld Of Drug Trafficking [Video]

Steve James learned the power of money at a young age. In rural Georgia during the 1950s he discovered the basics of business by watching his grandfather hustle ranchers for cattle. He took these lessons and applied them to crime. By the age of 13 he was smuggling in pot from Panama and became the main distributer in his town. He continued scaling his business which eventually led to him trafficking seeds from Afghanistan and starting the first indica grows on the island of Jamaica. He’s here to tell us all about his life story; crime, addiction, betrayal and a federal case that landed him the crosshairs of the FBI.
