    Russian drug dealer tells his story
    Niko Vorobyov was born in Leningrad, Russia, before moving to Great Britain where he started supplying drugs.

    Niko’s talks about his book Dopeworld a bold and intoxicating journey into the world of drugs. From the cocaine farms in South America to the streets of Manila, we trace the emergence of psychoactive substances and our intimate relationship with them. With unparalleled access to drug lords, cartel leaders, street dealers and government officials, Niko Vorobyov attempts to shine a light on the dark underbelly drug world.

    I read that book a couple of months ago and it really is an excellent read. It doesn't glorify drugs at all but goes in to detail how the drug world rolls, from source to punter, price differences etc, the war on drugs the whole 9 yards. It caught my eye in my local library and i think it took me a week to read it. If you're intetersted in drugs good/bad it is educational, enjoy 👍

    For all the negative comments about nico you're ignoring two main points. One James is on fire and very introspective in this episode and two nico isnt claiming to be a drug lord he is a man who joined the drug scene through not knowing his identity dipping his toe in diffrent waters and found a passion in writing about humans relationships with substances. I for one really enjoyed this one.

Also has glorified his stories in his head in my opinion, but good luck to him, whatever makes him happy.
