The Golden Gate
Smuggling Company
The Golden Gate Smuggling Company
By Brett Douglas
In 1979, Brett Douglas was a twenty-eight-year-old US
Marine Corps veteran working as a commercial tuna
fisherman in California. That year, a young man named
Bruce Perlowin came looking for professional seamen
and found a few, including the author. The fishermen he
recruited became a crew that played an integral part in
smuggling more than 250 tons of marijuana that FBI
agents credited to the “Perlowin Conspiracy.”
The Golden Gate Smuggling Company provides a true,
behind-the-scenes story of “The Company,” the largest
marijuana smuggling operation in the history of San
Francisco. In the early 1980s, commercial tuna fishermen
used long-range tuna boats specially outfitted for the
eight-thousand-mile round-trip between San Francisco
and Colombia. Each boat carried at least 30 million
dollars worth of marijuana to the Company’s private pier
in the San Francisco Bay area. Douglas, a fisherman who
lived through it all, narrates this adventure from load
number one to the federal courthouse in San Jose four
years later.
Through the story of the Company, Douglas chronicles a
laid-back, California style drug-smuggling empire that
operated free of Hollywood clichés: no guns, no
violence, no dramatic shoot-outs or car chases.
Written by Brett Douglas about his experience with one
of the biggest marijuana smugglers in the history of the
United States,
Bruce Perlowin who is now the CEO of a public company,
Marijuana, Inc. (HEMP.PK), the makers of KushClear™
