The state of mind that racing had put me

0:03

in was trina

0:08

I put my own team together and end up going

0:10

to India. It will be white and father

0:12

and Randy Lanier's cap, his name Rookie

0:14

of the Year. As much as Porsch wanted to spend,

0:16

I can spend and not. I had

0:19

plenty of sponsorship coming right from Columbia,

0:21

all right. By the early eighties,

0:23

a river of pot was flowing from Columbia

0:26

to the United States. Attorney General

0:28

Jim Smith is drug smuggling the number

0:30

one industry in Florida. Drug smuggling is

0:32

probably the number one industry in our country,

0:35

and it came in by the barge load thanks

0:37

to a drug kingpin who was hiding in

0:39

plain sight, Randy Lanier. He will start

0:42

this race in the second row. I must a

0:44

race because I was doing loading.

0:46

How big was the load with him? Pounds?

0:49

How much was that worth? Forty four million

0:51

books? I'm Amy Driscoll and I'm Alex

0:53

Harris. As Florida continues its drive toward

0:56

full legalization of marijuana,

1:01

The Miami Herald and McClatchy Studios take

1:03

you inside the stunning rise of a racing

1:05

prodigy he's still the same dad to me,

1:08

just accomplished a lot

1:10

more than than others.

1:12

In the fall of an empire. I was living like

1:14

the family life, racing life, smuggle

1:16

of life. Yeah, I'll keep most

1:18

upward and then from there you go

1:21

right into the wall Randy

1:24

Law. There against the wall we see visible

1:26

evidence of the federal commitment to the war

1:28

on criminal drug smuggling in South

1:30

Florida. DA's expertise was

1:33

to identify organizations and then

1:35

try and take them out. The rest of your crews are

1:37

there. That car is totally destroyed.

1:39

I was sentenced to the remaining balance

1:42

of my natural life for we. For

1:44

we, they've never found a tale of

1:47

speed. Indeed, there was two guys

1:49

always there that weed.

1:52

I was the architect of our states, mari Wanta

1:54

laws that those laws need to change,

1:57

and the road ahead being in cultivation.

2:00

I think it doesn't have very much to do with

2:02

my dad. Punished companers do

2:04

he got it. Let's go on. Our generations

2:07

gotted to be on the right line of pastory

2:09

on that issue. Everybody changes,

2:11

Everything changes, right
