In 1979, the U.S. Customs Service reported that 87% of all marijuana seizures in theU.S. were made in the South Florida area. Due to the region`s5,000 miles of coast and coastal waterways and close proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, South Floridawas a pot smuggler`s paradise.In sharp contrast to the brazenly violent cocaine cowboysof the 1980`s, Miami`s marijuana smugglers were cooler,calmer,and typically nonviolent. SQUAREGROUPER paints a vivid portraitof Miami`s pot smuggling culture in the 70s and 80s andits major players: the smuggling Black Tuna Gang, the potdealing Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church andthe tiny fishing village Everglades City.
