The Last Pirate: A Father, His Son, and the Golden Age of Marijuana
To his fellow smugglers, Anthony Edward Dokoupil was the Old Man. He ran stateside operations for one of the largest marijuana rings of the twentieth century. In all, they sold hundreds of thousands of pounds of marijuana, and Big Tony distributed at least fifty tons of it.
To his son he was a rambling man who was also somehow a present father, a self-destructive addict who ruined everything but affection. Tony Dokoupil blends superb reportage with searing personal memories, presenting a probing chronicle of pot-smoking, drug-taking America from the perspective of the generation that grew up in the aftermath of the Great Stoned Age.
