What they’re saying

“I was a world-famous graffiti writer. I was excited to work with Weedmaps because I've used it and they really asked me just to do my thing. I tend to get inspired by the world in general around me, or even things like skateboarding. I do get really inspired when I see a good skateboarding clip. Out loud to myself, I'll be like, 'F*ck yeah!'”
