the fame of Howard Marks

[wizbit9]

Just a question to all the non u.k residents out there.

Is howard marks (the gentleman in my av) as famous/well known to the general public as he is in our country. Do people instantly recognise him?Do you instantly recognise him

This guy is one of the biggest ex ganja smugglers on the planet and he is something of a cult heros to the young here

 

[Zamdrist]

Don't recognize him, never heard of him. Ganja? What-Dat?

 

[wizbit9]

sorry marajuana = ganja

He smuggled many many consignments of up to 100 tons of dope out of the u.s alone

He now tours round the u.k dj'ing and doing question and answer sessions at all the universitys in the country

Now children, drugs are bad, mmmmkay?
