Summary

Tim McBride is a former marijuana smuggler/pot hauler living on the edge of the Florida Everglades. From 1979 to 1989 Tim ran southern waters and the Caribbbean with a band of modern day pirates known by locals as Saltwater Cowboys. Night after night we offloaded up to 20 tons at a time from any vessel that would make the trip from South America. Like Mexico does now, Colombia supplied 42 percent of the marijuana consumed in the United States in 1984. The major percentage of this traffic was controlled by Tim’s crews working with other smaller crews and several large Colombian organizations. https://originalsaltwatercowboy.com help us make more money: https://bit.ly/koncretepatreon sponsors https://liquiddeath.com - Use code KONCRETE at checkout to get a free koozie 2-pack with a 12-pack purchase. danny https://www.instagram.com/jonesdanny https://twitter.com/jonesdanny Learn more about your ad choices.
