You're fixing to get zotted.

But just for your info. The largest weed smuggling gangs into the US from Colombia were:

The Donald Steinberg-Lenny Mizer-Pete Wagner crew who smuggled around 10 million pounds of weed into South Florida from La Guajira in Colombia via freighters from the mid 70s to early 80s.

Also Ben Kramer (who had killed the Cigarette boat guy Aronow comes in a close second probably barging in about 4-5 million pounds in the 80s from same locale.

The primary source gangs were The Dangones in La Cienaga, Colombia and the Nogueras in Baranquilla.

Plenty of books abound on this stuff fwiw.

Kramer rots in Leavenworth doing life I think after his ill fated helicopter escape attempt in Miami in 90 (?).

Let's not forget Berriman Adler (Barry) Seal, the man who broke the Cali Cartel. (or so I've been told). He figured prominately in the Mena operation, according to Terry Reed, who co-wrote "Compromised".
Barry Seal was gunned down at a half-way house by Columbians, and was the subject of the movie, "Double-crossed", starring Dennis Hopper, and Robert Carradine.
