    I know who he is, we had a debate about his merits a while ago if I remember rightly.

    dude, this is the drugs forum! We're all gonna know who Howard Marks is!!

    The mans a legend, and Mr Nice is an awesome book.
    Speaking of Mr Nice, has anyone ever smoked Mr nice? - its a strain i have at the moment, grew some and it is seriously awesome weed
    If anyone grows out there, do it, its a nice squat indica, finished in 45 days and gets me so stoned my teeth itch...

    whats the book of dope stories like then, i was tempted but thought it might be rubbish

    Nah its not rubbish, if you have the money to spare its worth buying, but its not worth it if youre strapped for cash. Its ok though!

    Haha it would be nice to think we all knew who howard marks is. I was talking to a few friends who piss me off with their immature 'we're hardcore stoners' attitude and 'i know more about cannabis than anybody' who when i mentioned howard marks all looked at me and said 'who the fuck is he'... :rolleyes:

    No i've never smoked it but seen it on websites for sale, i wish so much i could smoke that..its Mr Nice's weed, it's got to be good. you don't know how much i want to grow it :( and 45 days isn't too long to wait, how much would it produce?

    Dope stories is okay if you want to know about cannabis and other drugs, alot of other drugs, its only £8, worth a read anyway, im still waiting on the library to get Snowblind in, it's taking about 3 weeks now, longer.

    Is that 45 days from seed? I would doubt it, I know plants that have a 2.5 month cycle from cuttings but not that short.

    Anyway you all should be reading more Hunter S Thompson, and not just Fear and Loathing.

    what others has he written?

    Loads, he's written one other novel, The Rum Diary, and then there is all of his polictical writtings.
    The Great Shark Hunt is Fantastic.

    He's a genius, perhaps the only living one, I think he is one of the best social comentators ever and clearly the best polictical writter this century.

    Depp and HST are good friends, he has got his way of talking and acting very well.

    Hunter is a total idol of mine, a man who by all accounts should have died from terrible drug over doses more times than its possible to count, excaped conviction numerous times. And in general is a genius.

    The movie isnt as good as the book and his other books are better. Although I do like Fear and Loathing, there is several levels to it, you can enjoy it as a stonner drug romp, but it really is a novel documenting the death of the American Dream, the death of the hippy movement, the slide of the US into the 80's.

    Its a novel about nothing that says a lot.
