Howard Marks aka "Mr Nice" got inoperable cancer.
Bless him,
“I’ve come to terms with it in my own way – which for me was about learning how to cry, It’s impossible to regret any part of my life when I feel happy and I am happy now, so I don’t have any regrets and have not had any for a very long time.”

No sympathy, he had more time on earth than those victims who died because of the filth he smuggled.
I own his book but ive never got round to reading it, I thought he smuggled weed.
Ive heard it said many times he's a nice man. I wish him well.
Can you explain to me which victims died please?
He smuggled cannabis, not heroin or cocaine.
Yes, I did read the article.
If the drugs don't kill you...the bullets will?
Too gloss over Howard Marks connections is a bit naïve?
He smuggled drugs, people die from taking drugs therefore his smuggling shit will have caused a few deaths along the way.
I hope he is in agony, and for the record it's my opinion breaking bad was a piece of shit that glorified illegal drugs.
Are you Jeremy Kyle?
I don't know anyone who's died from smoking weed, involving the IRA however...
I enjoyed his book.
If you can just confirm for me how many people have died from taking cannabis and get back to me that would be great.
He might've been a done a lot of illegal stuff, but honestly, you sound worse than any drug dealer. Hopefully you don't end up in agony yourself one day from cancer, because comments like the one above will haunt you.
Does tobacco kill people or the cancer?
So you basically also must hate long term smokers (eg. Paul McCartney) because they buy "the shit", thereby feeding an industry that kills people yes?
Still waiting to know how many people have died from smoking cannabis by the way….
It has certainly messed up a lot of lives and caused a lot of mental illness. I don't think that a story about a drug smuggler should be in the "showbiz" section.
There's a lot more messed up lives and mental illness caused by alcohol.
True. I still don't think his life should be glorified.
Fair enough, but I also don't think people have the right to wish his lasting days be filled with pain and misery. I can only imagine those saying such awful things have never had to watch the truly harrowing end that cancer patients suffer
I genuinely don't know a single person who ever died purely from smoking cannabis.
it is good to see you have a clear and unbiased approach to drugs and its relationship to us humans. I would hate to think of people parroting whatever current media message is. Is it drugs are evil or is it still ISIS? which one am I meant to hate today?
That's because no-one ever has.

Although I think it would fall under freak occurrence.
