THE DEMISE
In 1936, Luciano was tried and convicted for compulsory prostitution after years of investigation. He was originally sentenced to 30-50 years in prison, but during World War II, an agreement was struck with the Navy to provide naval intelligence. So in 1946, his sentence was commuted on the condition that he be deported to Italy. Luciano suffered a fatal heart attack at a Naples airport in January 1962, where he had planned to meet with a film producer to tell his life story. The criminal empire that Luciano built continues on to this day and is now referred to as the Genovese Crime Family.
THE CRIME BOSS
Luciano is also widely considered The Father of Modern Organized Crime in the US for the establishment of The Commission in 1931—the governing body of the American Mafia—after he abolished the “Boss of Bosses" title held by Salvatore Maranzano, following the Castellammarese War. Luciano eventually had both Joe "the Boss" Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano killed, becoming the dominant crime boss in the US.
THE FIVE POINTS GANG
Luciano started his criminal career when he joined the Five Points Gang and, alongside Johnny Torrio, Meyer Lansky, and Frank Costello, formed the National Crime Syndicate to turn organized crime into a lucrative business for all.
THE BIRTH
Charles “Lucky" Luciano was born Salvatore Lucania on November 24, 1897, in Sicily, Italy. At age 14, Luciano dropped out of school and started his own gang, providing kids protection from other gangs.

WHITE BUFFALO SATIVA
In many indigenous cultures of the Great Plains region, a white buffalo is so rare that it’s considered an important spiritual symbol. It is also prized for its rarity. This sativa-leaning hybrid is the product of pure indica Romulan and an unnamed cross between Blackberry Kush and Bay 11. It provides energetic and stimulating cerebral effects and has appeal for cannabis novices and veterans alike.
