A TikTok user has shared the moment she was interviewed on the news after 'smoking a blunt at 7am', having given a slightly bizarre vox pop about the importance of charity. Watch below:
Nyesia Lewis (@pilotjonesssss) was being interviewed by Detroit's 7 Action News about a charity's haunted hayride being cancelled over park fees in Brownstown Township, Michigan.

According to a news article at the time, the annual event was cancelled following policy changes at a local park, leaving locals 'upset and wondering why'.
One such local was Lewis, who ended up being interviewed by the news outlet on the matter - although she wasn't able to make a whole lot of sense.
In the clip, she says: "Charity is charity. I think that you can't have, like, enough charity, so... They should have it."
Explaining the reason behind her strange diatribe, Lewis said in the video's caption: "When I got interviewed on the news after smoking a blunt at 7am."

Someone else joked: "When you're trying to reach the word count on the essay."
A third quipped: "Guys I think charity might be charity."

Another added: "Charity is def charity."
The haunted hayride was organised by the Brownstown Firefighters, with all proceeds going to charity.
The firefighters' union posted a statement on its website, saying: "The Brownstown Fire Fighters regretfully announce that our annual Haunted Hayride will not take place this year. Due to new park administration and policy, a daily park pass would be required for entry. The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority (HCMA) has waived the park entry fee - for the past 20 years."

7 Action News spoke to officials in charge of Huron Clinton Metroparks at the time, and was told that new management had taken over and there was a new rule that no entrance fees would be waived for any charity events to make it fair for all charities.
Other residents were able to be a little more eloquent about their frustrations, with one named Danielle Napper telling the outlet: "The money goes to charity. It's a good event.
"The kids enjoy it. I look forward to it. The kids look forward to it. We support the city and their foundations and that. I think it's pretty sad."
She added: "I think they should be waived. They do a lot for the city. I'm very sad and disappointed that it's not going to happen."
