The Inner Workings of Modern Drug Dealing” — THE BUSINESS SECRETS OF DRUG DEALING author Matt Taibbi interviewed for Merry Jane (2/12/2021) The Business Secrets of Drug Dealing tells 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. Julian Nutter, defending Hughes, said his client's one previous conviction, for drug dealing in Mallorca in 2018, related to him receiving a suspended sentence for having a small amount of MDMA on the Spanish island.

And here’s the other advantage we have: we know police profile. We use it against them. That’s an important rule: Embrace racial stereotypes.

I breezed through this book - I was able to envision very clearly the areas in Ibiza being discussed while reading, and found the story exciting and suspensive in a way a true story can. Dad-of-four Marshall, of Robson Street, Everton, also worked as a "courier" for the gang and made 10 identified trips in these "slot" cars to Cardiff and London.

Drug Dealing, the Media, and the Politics of Division” — Matt Taibbi interviewed about THE BUSINESS SECRETS OF DRUG DEALING on Letters and Politics (9/16/2021) The search and seizure rules dictate these rules. Cops can’t say they saw a suitcase full of weed in plain view. They need a reason to open that trunk, and if you play it right, you never give that to them.

I've read a decent amount on the world of narco-crime, with one of the most formative books being ZeroZeroZero, a read that truly exposed the underworkings of something quite complex through an investigative lens. It asks questions about how things work, why things exist, and how power is crucial to both things. Buddy didn’t have a clue what he was doing. He didn’t know how many grams there were in an ounce, how many ounces in a pound. He didn’t know the difference between profit and loss. However, this book is a very different take - an anonymous autobiography of the life of someone who seems to have been pulled into this world rather than entered it. There is no interesting hero's arc or journey. No signs of particular insight or knowledge into the inner workings of it all. No truly meaningful adventures or incredible feats.

Mr Nutter said Hughes became a dad in March 2018 and was also remorseful and ashamed for "what he's brought to the door of his child and his partner".

The third car is the load. He’s carrying the shit in the trunk. That’s a rule: No drugs inside the passenger area of a car. A corollary to that is, Always drive a car with a trunk. No SUVs. No Muranos. None of that. An ordinary boring sedan with a trunk.

I previously read I Am A Hitman, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so was very much looking forward to reading about the drug world now. Stephen McNally, prosecuting, said Hughes' home in Fazakerley, was used to store large quantities of cash and drugs, where he was "hands on" in weighing and "bashing" - cutting with adulterants - for onward supply.Wp Drug Box is a drug abuse and misuse with all imitation sample of drugs for educational purposes in the community or in youth clubs.
