The 21-year-old Nova Scotia native has been hailed as a hero based on sheer fashion sense and charisma alone.
Buzzfeed locked down an interview with Weed Kid that somehow increased the mystique of the blunt-friendly Maritimer. The thirsty should take note, Weed Kid’s already got a main squeeze.
“I am seeing a girl and I don’t got to say her name because she knows who she is. ” he revealed to the site. “I’m loyal, that’s all I got to say.”

Weed Kid stressed to Buzzfeed that he’s much more complex than a pot stereotype.
“Just because someone dresses in something like this and because I look like a kid with all marijuana stuff on and gold teeth, like, that doesn’t mean you can’t be a successful and very appropriate person,” he explains. “I think it needs to be said that the stereotypical burnt out stoner that exists in a lot of people’s minds is not real. There can be really productive successful people that, hey, also toke.”
