ZORRILLO: Bootlegged Marijuana. . . Welcome behind-the-scenes of smuggling high-grade Mexican grown marijuana out of Southern California during the 1970s and 80s when marijuana is still very illegal and in great demand. In this adventure, author Johnny Simonich slips his readers into the shoes of the main character, George Johnson, who is starting off on the right foot, until marijuana creeps into his life. After graduating from high school, George attempts to stay out of the limelight by selling only enough weed to keep a good stash of his own and earn just enough money to make it all worthwhile. Eventually, he gets caught up in the fast lane of the supply and demand of black-market marijuana. After learning he cannot trust people who claim to be his friends, he soon gets drawn into life changing situations. George regroups. He gets married and settles down, but before long, George is whisked away on some unimaginable adventures of smuggling marijuana. He soon joins the ranks of modern day bootleggers who persistently push their luck and employ very clever tactics to claim their share of extremely handsome profits.
