Description
This is the autobiography how Tommy Powell initially instigated the large scale smuggling on the North coast of Colombia to be followed by massive amounts of subsequent smugglers. In 1972, Tommy Powell ventured to Santa Marta, Columbia in search of 20,000 pounds of high grade marijunna - Colombia Gold, but was met with disbelief. An order of that size had never been requested from the Colombians. He settled for 16,000 pounds at 6 dollars a pound and sold it in Ann Arbor, Michigan for 250 dollars a pound. The golden hue of the Colombian weed delivered a more enjoyable high and sold for nearly double the price of the Jamaican weed. Tommy would pack a fleet of shrimp boats with 30,000 to 60,000 pounds per trip, send them across the Carribean Sea through the dangerous Yucatan Channel and Mona Passage to hidden coves scattered along Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Maine coastlines.
