HIGH TIMES INTERVIEW: Howard Marks
Wed Jan 23, 2008
By the mid-’80s, the Welsh-born, Oxford-educated Marks was an “egghead of the underworld.” With a total of 43 aliases, 89 phone lines and 25 companies trading worldwide, Howard was the dope dealer’s dope dealer. At the peak of his trafficking, he was smuggling consignments of up to 30 tons from Pakistan and Thailand to the US and Canada. Following many years of evading capture despite stringent monitoring by the US Drug Enforcement Administration, Marks was finally arrested and sentenced to 25 years at Indiana’s Terre Haute, the site of America’s only federal death row. Since his release on parole in April 1995, having served seven years of his sentence, Howard has embarked on a new career: as a writer and journalist.
