Whats up IC,

I'm in search of a few books that are weed related. By this i mean books such as Mr. Nice, the book about the Black Tuna gang, etc...shit like that. I'm up for a few good reads, and i REALLY like reading about this type of stuff. And actually it doesn't necessarily have to be about weed...other contraband is cool

. Thanks for the help IC...and Happy Holidays!

Not sure if this fits what you're looking for, but I thought The Official High Times Pot Smoker's Handbook was a cool quick read.

Read it a long time ago but i remember Snowblind: A Brief Career in the Cocaine Trade by Ronert Sabbag being really good, like a coke version of Mr Nice. He has another book called Smokescreen about weed which is meant to be good too.

Snowblind and smokescreen are both f***ing good reads and have a place on my bookshelf,can I reccomend "Grass" by Phil Sparrowhawk?Howard Marks business partner and supplier,fast paced and unputdownable.

Cool...thanks for the recommendations. i remember reading about phil in Mr. Nice...so i'd imagine that his book would be a great read. I'm going to do a search for these titles.....does anyone have a quick link to where i could pick these up?

You can also give a try to these:

Altered States of America: Outlaws and Icons, Hitmakers and Hitmen by Richard Stratton

The Brotherhood of Eternal Love: from Flower Power to Hippie Mafia the Story of LSD Counterculture by Stewart Tendler & David May

Inherent Vice by Thomas Pinchon (Reading it right now)

Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts (It takes place in India, while the others deal with the American Reality)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson (Probably you already know the movie)

The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe

Can't Find my Way Home: America in the Great Stoned Age, 1945-2000 by Martin Torgoff

The last one isn't really a novel but more like an history manual, but I really enjoyed reading it.
