Howard Marks was basically a massive importer of weed, his whole importation grew from him smoking weed at uni (oxford) building up contacts and sorting ppl out until he was importing it to the UK and US from pakistan, thailand and various other places.

He eventually got busted and spent quite some time in jail first in spain then in the UK.

He is the greatest cainer of all time and you can read more about him in his book "Mr Nice" :spliff:

He used to smuggle dope in Speakers which his band used to use when playing gig's abroad. This man is a legend in my eye's but is he a legend in your eyes?????

The true liberator of smuggling even hollowed out a ford capri to smuggle in weed. And their is a film being currently made about the life he had based on the book "Mr Nice" Film expected to be out around 2004/5
