R I P Howard Marks

I can't understand the fascination over a drug smuggler ... I wonder how many young lives the shit he smuggled ruined ... He is potraied as some sort of celebrity when in truth he was a low life criminal that supplied drugs into this country ......

I dont think bringing in a bit of puff is that big a deal certainly not compared to crime that has innocent victims....but i agree i cant understand this fascination with celebrity criminals.....or why he would want to be one is even more baffling :blink:

Yeah all those lives ruined by a bit of hash :laugh:   Gutted to hear he's passed, a real legend and by all accounts a stand up bloke.   RIP Howard I'm off to spark one for you

If a man needs to earn money from writing books about his crimes then he probably wasnt a very succesful criminal.

i'd have a guess it's an easier way of making money and less likely to land you in the shovel...

A very good point gnash, and I concur on the whole, but I think old Mr marks was just an old head and not one of these Courtney esqe gangstar types...just getting a bit of coin in his old age...I could be wrong and he may have just been another inflated ego who liked blowing his own trumpet, but he didn't come across that way...

a young lad is offered a bit of puff buy a dealer . yea harmless really but after a while he goes for his bit of puff and the dealer says. aint got any puff wee man. but you can try one of these if ye want. :yes: kids are gullable. not long before the dealer has anoth good little earner. where do you draw the line.

 

puff is probably one of the least dangerous substances. but is aimed at children without a scooby what they are getting into. and the first step on a dodgy ladder for many

Everyone I know who has smoked the stuff habitually for the past few decades have a vacant look about them... its almost as if the fires no longer in there eyes ..

 

Have never smoked anything or taken drugs ... its just not my thing ... I am to much of a control freak to allow some substance or other alter my mind or my body ... f**k that :laugh:

 

Each to there own ... its just not my thing

Think you've been watching "reefer madness".I have never ever known a " dealer" go out offering his wares to those he doesn't know or who don't want it, it's a falsehood spread by the anti drug brigade...and IF there is any truth in that scenario, that is a reason for legalisation in my mind....

breweries don't line the pockets of terrorist organisations though ... He did ......

 

Looking at him he would probably of funded whoever told him to fund them......lets be honest, if he came demanding money you would just tell him to f**k off.

I don't know much about him but as I understand it he seemed like some public school hippy weed head......nothing more.

Some of the most tuned in and creative people I know are stoners its horses for coarses and subjective to the individual... if you are of week mind mind and will then it doesn't matter if its weed , alcohol prescription drugs or class A's your probably going to have problems....each to there own there's no such thing as a one size fits all when it comes to drugs legal or illegal.

I work with a lad who claims he uses the stuff every time he has roll up & he is a lovely lad but he stinks of the stuff & everything about him is almost in slow motion... his speech ... his movements the lot ...I think I am just an old fashioned gal .... I just dont get it

 

If I was in to drugs I would want summat to give me an edge make me sharp as a tack .... not turn me into a sloath like being :laugh:
