There's plenty of books on Al Capone and during his time the alcohol he pushed was prohibited and might as well be considered a 'drug' in the perspective of today's society even though it literally is a drug haha..

Uh.. there's also really good biographies on Tookie Williams who was famous for founding the Crips street gang of LA and pretty much all of gangs as we know them..

dude if u wnt sumthing about wicked chill drug dealers then get the movie blow best drug movie ever it even beats scar face

[ganjzilla]

i would argue that point...id have to say blow is the best movie ive seen for straight up drug dealing aspect...but for the cinematic experience its all scarface, blow lacked the killing that added excitement to scarface

pablo escobar is the classic story of a drug dealer, became the absolute biggest coke supplier to the united states, was tracked down by the CIA and FBI and his own government, and died in a gunfight on a roof. Better than scarface and it really happened.

Amazon.com: Memory of Pablo Escobar: Books: James Mollison
(you should check the library tho cause thats expensive)

Book Description

The extraordinary story of the richest and most violent gangster in history-his youth, his bid for political power, his domination of the world's cocaine trade, his campaign against the Colombian state during which thousands died, his imprisonment in a luxurious private jail, his escape, and his eventual capture and shooting-is told in hundreds of photographs gathered by photographer James Mollison in Colombia. Exhaustively researched, this visual biography includes photographs from Escobar family albums, pictures by Escobar's bodyguards, pictures from police files (both shot by the police and taken in raids of Escobar's premises), and snapshots by the Federal Drug Administration officer who helped hunt Escobar down.

The book contains illuminating interviews with family members, other gangsters, Colombian police and judges, and survivors of Escobar's killing sprees. The text is supplemented by contemporary photographs by Mollison of Escobar's fleet of planes, his private zoo, arms caches captured by the police, and even Escobar's prison jukebox. It is both a compelling picture story and a landmark in visual journalism.

This is the original follow-up to James Mollison's James and Other Apes (Chris Boot, 2004). Born of British origin in Kenya, Mollison now lives in Venice. He works as an advertising and editorial photographer, and his work has been widely published throughout the world, including in Colors, The New York Times, the Guardian, and Le Monde
