Advertising for a new career
In 2001, he ran an ad in the National Post in the hopes of finding a job. It was titled "Former Marijuana Smuggler" and read:


The ad O'Dea placed in the Financial Post. "Having successfully completed a 10-year sentence, incident free, for importing seventy-five tons of marijuana into the United States, I am now seeking a legal and legitimate means to support myself and my family. Business experience: Owned and operated a successful fishing business -- multi-vessel, one airplane, one island and processing facility. Simultaneously owned and operated a fleet of tractor-trailer trucks conducting business in the western United States.... I also participated in the executive level management of 120 people worldwide in a successful pot-smuggling venture with revenues in excess of $100-million US annually."

He received 600 responses.

O'Dea's adventures and struggles are captured in his new book "High: Confessions of a Pot Smuggler". It is publised by Random House. He is now a successful television producer in Toronto.
