Howard Marks: Who was the notorious cannabis smuggler ‘Mr Nice’?

Marks died from cancer at the age of 70 in 2016.

But away from the spotlight who was the real Howard Marks?

“He’s not an evil guy. He enjoyed smoking and it got out of hand,” said his childhood friend Marty.

He added: “He was a dealer junkie, he couldn’t give up the deals… it was feeding his narcissism.”

Lovato recalls a man “obsessed with his own myth”.

Perhaps surprisingly he speaks of Marks with fondness.

“I have a sense of loss with regard to Howard,” he said.

“For a time period we were uniquely tied to one another and even though he was a crook, he had no moral values, blah blah blah, he had some very redeeming values as well.

“I’m regretful that he’s gone.”

Episode one of Hunting Mr Nice is on BBC One Wales and BBC Two at 21:00 GMT on 21st November and available on iPlayer on the same day
