'Freaks and Wastoids' is yet another amazing photo spread from Justin Carrasquillo. The photographer has taken some incredible shots of individuals all enjoying the finer things in life, like drugs here and there.

The artist manages to capture perfect moments with these 'Freaks and Wastoids' as they indulge in a little of [the green stuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-of-weed). The [smoke clouds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossil) that emerge from these models' mouths are rather impressive, almost as if they've been doing this type of 'modeling' for years!
