Barry Shantz is a former international drug dealer. When the FBI caught him with 1.3 billion (yes, Billion) street value worth of Hashish they claimed it was the biggest drug related bust in US history. He turned his life around and now works helping out drug users in Abbotsford.
Barry is a charming and incredibly smart individual, I throughly enjoyed talking to him for a good hour before the shoot and we even managed to get a few shots of him smoking (a real joint) just outside the lawyer building where he works. Buy the magazine to read the entire story, absolutely fascinating.
