n real life, there is a person like "e;Anonymous"e;, who, for the sake of this story, I'll call Huey Carmichael. I was friends with this person for a while before I learned about his other life. The real Huey knows more than a thing or two about the weed business. He keeps rules.The Business Secrets of Drug Dealingtells the story of a hyper-observant, politically-minded, but humorously pragmatic weed dealer who has spent a working life compiling rules for how to a) make money and b) avoid prison.Each rule shapes a chapter of this fast-paced outlaw tale, all delivered in Huey's deliciously trenchant argot. Here are a few of them: No guns but keep shooters. Stay behind the white guy. Don't snitch. Always have a job. Be multi-sourced. Get your money and get out.Part edge-of-the-seat suspense story, part how-to manual in the tradition ofThe Anarchist Cookbook,The Business Secrets of Drug Dealingis as scintillating as it is subversive. Just reading it feels illegal.
