When Earth and the species that inhabit it are on the brink of extinction, these are the types of videos that will make the highlight reel of humanity.

Not me, that’s for sure. So I stuffed that evil initial reaction away & made up my mind: these strangers are smoking weed & weed only and are having the time of their life doing so.
