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.
Each rule shapes a chapter of this fast-paced outlaw tale, all delivered in Huey Carmichael’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 of The Anarchist Cookbook, The Business Secrets of Drug Dealing is as scintillating as it is subversive. Just reading it feels illegal.
