Eric Canori was one of the largest high-end pot dealers on the East Coast of the United States — before it became legal in any state — smuggling weed out of Canada via 18-wheelers, helicopters, and boats. He operated like a ghost, doing well over $300,000,000 of business by age 29 — without a gun or the government knowing. In this episode Eric discusses with Ian his childhood, how he got involved in the pot business, his downfall and the knowledge he's gained along the way.
