This is my father-in-law. Such a great man. He’s as much of the gangster as he seems. People don’t have a clue at how important his role in the game really was.

Back in the day when they sold the freebase kits with ether and instructions at every head shop I remember dropping off some blow at a friends house and chatting a while with 5 or 6 people sitting around a kitchen table. I left and came back 5 days later and the exact same people were sitting in the exact same places with the same clothes on. Everyone just waiting for the pipe to come around to them again. It was madness! I knew it was a problem right then and there!!👎😳😳😳😳😳. 😂
He's far from the first person to grow Indica in Jamaica. Famously, the indentured Indian labourers from the 19th century took their Indian ganja cultivars with them to the West Indies, which were by definition Indica.
You are correct!! I am from Trinidad and Tobago, born in the 1950's. Weed was sold in shop when l was a child, the Hindu pundits smoked ganja during prayers, and the indentured Indians on the sugar estates smoked weed before and atfter the days work on the sugar plantations here in the West lndies. That is my knowledge of weed in the Caribbean.
“We was sitting there and then it got dark and then it got light and then it got dark again”😂😂😂😂😂 I sat there for 2 days in the same clothes at the same table 😂😂😂😂
As long as Disney don't get ahold of it and ruin it like they did with Star Wars and everything else!! 😂😂 I'm just sayin!!

Just purchased the book recently and about 3/4 of the way through, and now I'm also a cheerleader for a movie to be made based upon it!! Somebody in the industry .... please, PLEASE make this happen!!!!
Johnny you dont have to say "Right" "Okay" "Got it" "Yeah" after everything the guest says. Its annoying af. Just stfu and let them speak without you having to make a sound.
Man brings my mother Panama Red which is practically the only known of 100% sativa strain, then writes the book called Indica. I just love this man’s dialect.
Yeah he is a great guy. I have the pleasure of knowing him. His book is excellent. When is life becomes a movie I'll sell my signed t-shirt and book of his and double my money
his story about crack reminds me of my own addiction to alcohol. I remember when I was really on a bender time would just fly by like you were literally teleporting. Luckily I never got worse than like 3-4 days and that's when I was really bad. The extended blackout benders were kind of few and far between but really culminations of stress in my life. So mostly it would just be a 1 day teleport, where I would wake up all like oh my god I blacked out so bad I no called no showed work, personal friends and family are calling me, I have texts and messenger messages all stacked up. That's the hardest part about being sober if you are an alcoholic/drug addict etc just how much time there really is in a day and how boring most days in regular life truly are.
Steve is so cool. He could have made more money selling powder but he knew how bad the $hit was and pot never hurt anyone. What a story he has to tell. I'm off to Amazon to order his book.
@@Asia_B_85what Mike meant was if you do coke all night and you do pot all night you’re definitely waking up the next day after the pot. Like the fella in the story you might not survive that sugar.
We used to buy pounds for $400 in 90's and I thought we were doing good. We were doing good we made $1200 per pound profit but this dude is really making a lick. Dayum.
I used to buy 20 pounds a week in 1988 for 250 to 350 a pound in N.Y and sold a quarter pound for $250 to $350 a pound..i also used to pay $550 a pd for Hawaiin sensimillia n sold it for $1,200 n it had white ,gree,gold, yellow n it was beautiful..those were the days 😊
Everything is longer with sativa. The only thing better about sativa is the high assuming you want to function. More water, needs more light, more flowering time, spindly buds... its the reason it got hybridized.
Sativa gets tall AF!! I grew a mango haze couple years back. I live in northern Michigan....not your ideal location for sativa dominant at all!! It lasted till November 1st until it started snowing. Wasn't quite to the maturity I wanted but surprisingly most the leaves were still green and no mold. I like the uplifting effects of sativa but unfortunately It is just not worth trying to grow up here unless you got a greenhouse or indoor grow.
This worldwide distribution of genetics is a double edged sword ..... On one hand it increased efficiency by lowering flower times and encouraged interesting crosses .... On the other hand ...... It very quickly facilitated the dilution and oftentimes even the extinction of unique sativa landrace genetics that were isolated for thousands of years. One can only wonder what special and extraordinary traits have been lost forever due to the obliteration of landrace varietals of so many equatorial sativas
I was born in 79 when I was little 5$ was a lot of money. You could buy so much with it. 20$ was a substantial amount. I could not imagine 200 $ in the 50s
I dont know if you would call it easy mode but selling pounds of weed while holding down a full time job in 83 and 84 was the best time for me because the money was so good and everyhing was so cheep. Gas was about a dollar a gallon, a new Corvette was 25k and a nice house was 50k . But now nothing has been easy for me being a late boomer. Im sure i will work till i die.

Every industry has its dirty secrets, cannabis has pesticides, mold, bugs and the ‘UN’-organic testing industry, you think Google is paid for and sponsored? Ha you have no idea how manipulated and bribed the canna testing industry is. You pay for high percentages. But don’t listen to me, keep being know it all consumers that are the experts kids ;) lol
How about actually listening to the guest instead of asking him the same questions 5 times. Great interview but man when you ask the same shit over and over it makes you look like you dont care
Canadian boy here, used to take trips down to St Pete’s beach with my family growing up and one year this guy and I started chalking it up talking and he told me “ya back in the 70s you would just find bales of weed out in the gulf and you would get your buddy with a boat and go scoop one or two up”. Wonder how many people were running d0pe like that around that time?… 57:38
I currently live in Saint Petersburg. Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale. He's telling the truth. Each is on opposite coast and it was pretty frequent. Most times it was water logged and it be sea weed. Also would find in the Everglades dropped from plans. Less frequent. Definitely lots of growing up down there and Spring break
As always these profits sound amazing and the lifestyle even exciting BUT remember, you have to get lucky EVERY time and the cops only have to get lucky ONCE. Not odds to launch a lengthy career to anyone with a couple brain cells. 🙄

There is a giant stack of money under some tool shed somewhere. If he cleared only $100 per pound and he sold 100,000 pounds of weed, he grossed $10,000,000. And you KNOW it was closer to $500-800 per pound. This dude has tens of millions of dollars somewhere. He knows how to avoid flashing his wad. He’s patient. I wish he was able to spend it all, but something tells me he already does whatever he wants. I think if I were him, I’d make a certain book publisher an offer he couldn’t refuse… then the money is clean!
Amazing how many don't have F A. in the end , takes awhile getting big $ to get on top and consolidate it and not spend it .. which is hard to do at first for most as crazy easy $ seems endless and it gets spent quickly and some credit not paid and loss , stealing etc , so alot by the time they realise they got start saving and not spending to late , they get busted by then .. .. this guy had good money skills from young .. that's why he knew how to handle and stash his $ .. and had some to invest in something new .. and he kept in the low down under cover .. like he said .. in the middle of the spear .. wise man .. he'd have plenty still perhaps not in USA .. or in bank in USA
How and why?!? He got caught and robbed and all that. Forfeiture etc. it’s absolutely amazing the comment sections of all these prison genres praising all the cons. Cons got caught! Why would you wanna be like these people!?!? WTF? It’s easy to impress you people huh? 😆
No dummy cause all that shit you just named is part of the game if you really lived that life so far him still having his millions and still being able to be a free man after changing the entire way weed was grown and smoked is amazing cause alotta dude don't make it to be able to do that

Because he is a bit of a loudmouthed prick? 😂 His interview skills have improved but still…
Because he is a loudmouthed prick? Getting better at interviewing but still….
A lot of people don't respect adult men who's name ends with long e. For example, John is more respected than Johnny, sounds like a little boy. Especially with the eighth grade Bowl cut lol.
This is the best “Connect” video by far.
dude i agree i havent watched in a while I randomly watched this the day it dropped and I'm blown away. went back looking but no other episodes peaked my interested that I haven't seen b4
Facts I feel a lot of the people he interviews embellish their story’s
Only one I’ve actually watched the entire video
A podcaster telling an old school smuggler "that's the way to be" is so incredibly cringe. What a chump!
When hes like 6-8% high grade man i can stil smell that bush weed at 10% thinking it qas the bomb now dispensary start at 18% smell is better too
Every industry has its dirty secrets, cannabis has pesticides, mold, bugs and the ‘UN’-organic testing industry, you think Google is paid for and sponsored? Ha you have no idea how manipulated and bribed the canna testing industry is. You pay for high percentages. But don’t listen to me, keep being know it all consumers that are the experts kids ;) lol
This dude is the worst interviewer ever. He asks questions that are dumb and not related.
One of the most interesting dudes I’ve heard… such an interesting listen
Legalize feeling normal.
And he looks damn good for his age after all that. His health seems to be damn good too.
Double damn
That statement is wrong, jamaican have things to live for, they was weed farmers, who wants to make money
This guy needs a movie about his life !
Great interview..,.....love his southern accent,.....dude should be in (movies, tv, commercials) with that southern drawl, charm, wit.....😅...!!
hats off to the Biker's in the area of La Grange... used to get us the best skunk back in the early 80's.
And you can’t find that strain of skunk love the smell .
How about actually listening to the guest instead of asking him the same questions 5 times. Great interview but man when you ask the same shit over and over it makes you look like you dont care
I've been smoking for 37 years daily it is my medicine my faves are sativa and or hybrid😊
Canadian boy here, used to take trips down to St Pete’s beach with my family growing up and one year this guy and I started chalking it up talking and he told me “ya back in the 70s you would just find bales of weed out in the gulf and you would get your buddy with a boat and go scoop one or two up”. Wonder how many people were running d0pe like that around that time?… 57:38
I currently live in Saint Petersburg. Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale. He's telling the truth. Each is on opposite coast and it was pretty frequent. Most times it was water logged and it be sea weed. Also would find in the Everglades dropped from plans. Less frequent. Definitely lots of growing up down there and Spring break
st pete beach is beat😂
As always these profits sound amazing and the lifestyle even exciting BUT remember, you have to get lucky EVERY time and the cops only have to get lucky ONCE. Not odds to launch a lengthy career to anyone with a couple brain cells. 🙄
Ill always remember this talk dad.
@@843Mixin-mn5vm Best you do son…
A lot of those Jamaican stories are str8 🧢 nothing but lies fam. The first man to grow indica weed in Jamaica 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When he said your a little high now, I died laughing!
Damn it’s some straight haters in this section lol good interview man
This is how you spot a true hater lol.
The CONNECT Found the Dude, Who started "The GAME".
Uhh, ok. I guess you’re easily impressed. The surfers been doing it the same time and a tad before.
LOL wiped all the comments calling your horrible interview skills out
These are the stories everyone wants to hear old school ❤
Dude…it’s pronounced PAN-AH-MAW
NOT PAN A MUH
You can tell some deep stuff went down in Jamaica.😮Great guest!❤🎉
Hey Abigal
She aint gna fk u dawg @@Charles-k3y
Heyyyyyyy internet stranger. You type sexy, let's hook up!
That was great i wanna read that book. Super insteresting life story
This guy is the real deal. Love it!
Put cop stickers on your vehicle it will minimize getting pulled over. Soccer mom vans work like a charm too
I’m gunna by his book he’s an awesome story teller I could listen for another 6 hours
Well, so we had the option to store our jets in the US to keep them grounded and stable. But someone just sees jets and us trying to make a plan for them. We are like why was that born? He can't use another countries jets stable and grounded for a reason
Exactly.
Im trying that next time i get pulled over..i spilled hot coffee on my nuts 😂😂
There is a giant stack of money under some tool shed somewhere. If he cleared only $100 per pound and he sold 100,000 pounds of weed, he grossed $10,000,000. And you KNOW it was closer to $500-800 per pound. This dude has tens of millions of dollars somewhere. He knows how to avoid flashing his wad. He’s patient. I wish he was able to spend it all, but something tells me he already does whatever he wants. I think if I were him, I’d make a certain book publisher an offer he couldn’t refuse… then the money is clean!
Amazing how many don't have F A. in the end , takes awhile getting big $ to get on top and consolidate it and not spend it .. which is hard to do at first for most as crazy easy $ seems endless and it gets spent quickly and some credit not paid and loss , stealing etc , so alot by the time they realise they got start saving and not spending to late , they get busted by then .. .. this guy had good money skills from young .. that's why he knew how to handle and stash his $ .. and had some to invest in something new .. and he kept in the low down under cover .. like he said .. in the middle of the spear .. wise man .. he'd have plenty still perhaps not in USA .. or in bank in USA
Absolutly love this interview its kinda how all of us dealers want to end up like
How and why?!? He got caught and robbed and all that. Forfeiture etc. it’s absolutely amazing the comment sections of all these prison genres praising all the cons. Cons got caught! Why would you wanna be like these people!?!? WTF?
It’s easy to impress you people huh? 😆
No dummy cause all that shit you just named is part of the game if you really lived that life so far him still having his millions and still being able to be a free man after changing the entire way weed was grown and smoked is amazing cause alotta dude don't make it to be able to do that
👮♂👮♂👮♂🚨🚨 WE GOT HIM
You clearly didn’t watch the whole video or pay attention dummy. He didn’t walk away with the money foolio @@anello9562
@ryanflynn6819 jokes on you nobody gives af about selling a lil weed g when fent and meth and gun violence is an epidemic 🙏
DUDE... this is tooooo insane....LOL!!! definitly the most atypical, never heard of, off the wall gonzo story of history...WHAAAT!!!!! YOO!!
He's lying about the Jamaican doing here with cow manure. SMH. Other than that, the interview is cool
Big lie!
They still dont search any military equipment unless it gets reported
The cia are some of the biggest traffickers
San Diego, early 2000s. Hawaiian skinny military kid comes to our house, checks the merchandise. Then goes to target and gets huge CCM hockey goalie bags. ‘Hockey’… stuffs them up and jumps back on the navy ship and goes back to Hawaii. Did it a couple of times. Now what the fuck is a tiny skinny Hawaiian kid doing with CCM hockey GOALIE bags??! 🫣🤣 but he did it. At least a couple times. Wonder what happened to that kid. lol
What?
Wish he would let the guest talk .. kinda interrupts a lot
man i have endlessly stuck up for you about haters saying you're a liar and people bitching and moaning about everything about you, but dude, seriously you have GOT to SHUT UP, and LET THE GUEST TALK!!!! Dude you're supposed to be getting better at this, not worse. Im not being a hater man, I genuinely like you, but dude its getting so bad. Just shut up and let them tell their stories man good grief.
Have you considered mood stabilizers? You are literally yelling and ranting into a void. Johnny Boy cannot hear your comment over the Ferrari motor. When will you get a life?
