Shiploads of Colombian weed Sack loads of cash Island huts made of marijuana bales Trafficking drugs while directing the neighborhood crime watch Crooked cops and politicians and CIA operatives Weed Man details exploits of one of the biggest drug traffickers to infiltrate the United States. D.C. political columnist John McCaslins account of a law-abiding citizen turned swashbuckling Caribbean Robin Hood is an unbelievable  entertaining - and true - story of crime  high jinx on the high seas. It was on a secluded cay in the Bahamas one otherwise ordinary morning that Jimmy Moree went for his usual jog on the beach-one that changed his life forever. After all  how many people stumble upon several million dollars while exercising? Soon  millions more would fall into his lap. And with every million  Jimmy spins an amazing yarn  each more incredible than the last-like when he tried to poison a mean neighbor with a deadly barracuda; how ungodly deception caused him to steal the holy garments and identity of his Catholic school priest and principal; why several thousand pounds of particularly potent marijuana came to be stored in the crawl space of a church during its Easter services; his extreme generosity shown to the poor farmers and fishermen who helped care for his ailing mother; and his unlikely view as of one of the worlds biggest drug smugglers from his pew at the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.

Gordon Liddy  Watergate figure and nationally-syndicated radio host \"McCaslin was a 20-something White House correspondent covering my dad  Ronald Reagan  when I first read his unique musings.
