he may no be too well known out of the Uk but this guy is the DUDE . here is his bio (thanks wikipedia):
a former teacher, drug smuggler and author who achieved notoriety as an international hashish smuggler through high-profile court cases, supposed connections with groups such as MI6, the IRA, and the Mafia, and his eventual conviction at the hands of the American Drug Enforcement Administration. At the height of his drug career, he was said to have controlled 10% of the world's hashish trade
visualy he is a classic dude and then you hear him speak and he is so chilled out he's horizontal.
Any one who has read the classic mr nice will know the score.
Plus, you know your a dude of the highest calibre when you have a film made about you. set for release 2010 with rhys ivans playing the main man ;D
Hey man, they made a movie about "W" but he is supremely undudely....
Howard Marks though, there is a dude! And a fine writer too.
Howard Marks is a legend with us Welsh Dudeists from the valleys.
May he abide more years than he can remember (which shouldn't be too difficult).
Mr nice....what a guy what a dude...didn't think too much of his book though..it was written by his wife and you can see that there is all sorts of stuff missing (for legal reasons)....what a life the dude has lead. :D
mad welsh hippy.....respect is due Mr Nice
