Nate Norman was eventually sentenced to 12 years in prison (though he served less). His story was famously chronicled by Rolling Stone and later adapted into the 2014 film Kid Cannabis .

In the early 2000s, Nate Norman, an overweight and overlooked pizza delivery driver in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, grew tired of his dead-end life. Alongside his older friend Topher, Nate realized that high-quality "B.C. Bud" from British Columbia, Canada, could be sold for massive profits across the border in the United States.

Your query mentions "YIFY," which is a well-known name associated with high-quality, small-file-size movie torrents. This suggests you may be looking for the 2014 movie version of this story, which dramatizes these real-life events.
A rival drug dealer, Brandon Wyatt, became jealous of Nate's success, leading to a series of violent escalations, including a botched assassination attempt on Nate.

In 2003, the law finally caught up. Several of Nate's associates were arrested and eventually turned on him.
