The King of Nepal: Life Before the Drug Wars

Chronicling a former drug smuggler's 50-year journey through the evolving drug trade, the narrative explores the transition from a time of legal hashish in Nepal and open drug sales in Asia to the rise of a multibillion-dollar black market. It highlights the impact of government interventions and financial incentives that outlawed cannabis cultivation, leading to the collapse of established networks and the emergence of violent criminal societies. The book vividly recounts the characters and schemes involved in navigating customs and regulations throughout this tumultuous era.
