In real life, there is a person like âAnonymousâ, who, for the sake of this story, Iâll call Huey Carmichael. I was friends with this person for a while before I learned about his other life. The real Huey knows more than a thing or two about the weed business. He keeps rules.

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 Hueyâs deliciously trenchant argot. Here are a few of them:
â¢ No guns but keep shooters.
â¢ Stay behind the white guy.
â¢ Donât snitch.
â¢ Always have a job.
â¢ Be multi-sourced.
â¢ 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.
