Are there any books worth reading, preferably auto biographies or biographies about dealers, specifically pot dealers?

lol, autobiography of most pot dealers I know:
sat around smoking pot on my couch all day again today, then I made a face book status update about how expensive and delicious the beer I'm drinking is, then microwaved a hungryman and passed out on my couch.
the end.

I can't think of it but there's this really good book about this dude from the 70s who used to bring tons of pot into the San Fransisco bay every month. I'll look around and see if I can find it online.

Ok so it wasn't a book, but Bruce Perlowin has a biography page on his website
http://www.bruceperlowin.com/bio.html

It's mad interesting.

the corner by david simon and edward burns is good.

it's what the show the wire is based on.

more about inner city life in bmore and drug dealers than just drug dealing. still, great read tho.

what about those carlos castaneda books? not so much about dealers.. but about dudes going out into the desert, doing peyote, and tripping out being wizards and shit.
