People try to put ownership on things: 'That's mine, that's my joke.' No such thing. Like if you tripped or stumbled and people go, 'Oh, that's Charlie Chaplin.' You know what I mean?

I've evolved into not only an activist, but an educator. I want to show people how, when, and why they should smoke pot.
