To live outside the law you must be honest. ~ Bob Dylan

Stone Free: From Choir Boy to Ganja Kingpin unravels the true story of Warren Anderson.

A Californian misfit who turned his back on the American Dream. Reforged as James “Abdul” Monroe, he emerged from the pyschedelic haze of the 1960s not as a compliant citizen but as an outlaw fugitive.

What began as a search for meaning morphed into one of the boldest Thai-stick marijuana smuggling operations of the later 20th century.

But living untethered had a price.

Betrayed by a former friend and convicted on major conspiracy to import marijuana into America, Abul was shackled and shuffled through 25 federal prisons, doing time alongside outlaw ghosts like surfing’s dark prince, Miki Dora, and the infamous Stopwatch Gang serial bank robber, Paddy Mitchell.

“I’m a veteran and former POW of the marijuana wars.”

~ WARREN “ABDUL” ANDERSON
