A movie about the hippest pot dealer in the world, the UK's 'Mr. Nice' crosses the pond and opens in New York this weekend. Best hash smuggling movie ever.
Mr. Nice tells the story of Howard Marks (Rhys Ifans), a Welsh-born Oxford University student whose dabbling in a marijuana dealing led to a career as an international cannabis smuggler with supposed connections to the IRA, MI6 and the Mafia -- all amid side jobs such as travel agent, teacher and spy.
Marks' adventures, conducted under countless alibis, brought him everywhere from London, Ireland and Germany to Pakistan, Thailand, Spain and America, and eventually to prison.
At the height of his career, he was said to have controlled 10 percent of the world’s hashish trade.
10% of the worlds hash trade... Whaaaaaa lol dude musta not been able to move!

Just finished Mr Nice, Mark's autobiography. Great stuff. A serious mind blow is the drug anthology he edited, Dope Stories. He's a good, low-key pot guru from the anti-authoritarian sixties. Mark's also sings for pot legalization in a reggae band. Harumph!

@asakite, I saw a screener copy and Mr. Nice is very similar to Blow. Not sure which one is better, they are basically the same story with different people and different drugs.
