After a while, the cocaine - I didn't have any friends. I was just alone and I didn't even like myself.

I suddenly began to realize that to become an entrepreneur in the marijuana business would make me fairly well off. And I also liked the lifestyle, my own working hours.

I was the kid who would take the car out at night when he was 16 and see if he can redline it. And then there's the kid who will be careful of it because it's his dad's car, or whatever, and drive it safely home and go to bed. And that's how my whole life was.

I hope there's a life after life - and maybe I can even come back again and get on another train, and ride and gain some more wisdom.

The war on drugs was an ideology the government came up with, and there never really was a war on drugs. I mean, to stop the importation of drugs into the United States of America is an impossibility.

Basically I was no different than a rock star or a movie star. I was a coke star.
