Marijuana smuggling pioneer Clifton Middleton joins the Honor Among Thieves Podcast to reveal how a rebellious Iowa farm kid became an international marijuana smuggler. Clifton explains how he traveled to Mexico at 16 searching for Acapulco Gold, began moving marijuana across borders and eventually followed the trade through Morocco, Jamaica and Miami during the height of the hippie counterculture. Clifton breaks down the psychology of carrying contraband through international customs, the network surrounding the marijuana trade and the wealth that helped transform South Florida. He also recalls buying a home on Miami’s Star Island and creating the River City Free Trade Zone—a massive counterculture marketplace filled with head shops, music, food and businesses he says were supported by marijuana dealers. His story eventually catches up with him at Miami International Airport, where he was arrested arriving from Jamaica with approximately 3.5 pounds of marijuana strapped to his body. After bonding out, Clifton says authorities did not see him again for eight years. From reform school and a college scholarship to international smuggling, arrest and regret, this episode explores the risks, consequences and mindset behind an extraordinary life.
