Strange thing, when they arrested me for the pot, the federal agents, they said, "We're sorry, we really don't want to bust pot people but this is tied into a heroin operation and we have to arrest you."

All I can say is that my ambition far exceeded my talent.

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

Any marijuana transaction I ever did with anyone, there were never any guns involved, ever.

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.

Danbury wasn't a prison, it was a crime school. I went in with a Bachelor of marijuana, came out with a Doctorate of cocaine.

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