Publisher's Summary

A billion dollars in sales, or was it 350 million? Who was really keeping track, anyway? From underground raves and Hollywood parties to run-ins with organized crime and going toe-to-toe with the US government itself, in this unbelievable autobiography, Shaahin Cheyene tells the often-bizarre story of how one rags-to-riches teenager commandeered the rising tide of music, money, and drugs in Venice Beach, California, in the '90s to become...the King of the Thrill Pill Cult.

Shaahin went from sleeping in his car to building a multimillion-dollar empire that spanned the globe by the age of 18, earning him an international reputation as the mastermind of the "smart drug" movement and garnering the fierce attention of federal authorities. His legal party drug, "Herbal Ecstacy", took the music world by storm, putting this ordinary young man on an extraordinary collision course with a life of fame, fortune, and high-flying excess. But the higher you fly, the further the fall. With Big Pharma, disgruntled drug dealers, and federal regulators all itching to pull him down, how does one man fight to keep this wild ride alive?

One Of The Best Rags to Riches Stories

This is one of the best business biographies I have ever owned. Not only was it entertaining from beginning to end but it was also very informative. My favorite part about the book was the immersive experience. I felt like I was a fly on the wall watching this young homeless kid sleep in his car in Los Angeles, practically starve and eventually make billions in what I would describe a wild west legal drug trade.

I had to listen to it 5x because I couldn't stop thinking about the book.
