Mega Million and synthetic marijuana.

PictureSynthetic marijuana?
Happy Friday the 13th. I am glad to see that it fell on a Friday this month. Some interesting items in the news. The #Mega Million jackpot is at $400 million. I have heard all the arguments on why no one should play the lottery. Some say it is a bad investment, because the odds are against you. Other will say that only the poor play. I disagree. Playing the lottery is a form of entertainment, and if you don’t put in a large amount of money, it is a cheap form of entertainment. I was a not believer for years. My wife loved to play. She once won $5000. When she died, I thought I would buy one ticket in her honor. That is when I discovered the entertainment value of the lottery. You buy one ticket and for one week, you can fantasize how you might spend the winnings if you win. If you don’t buy a ticket there is no fantasizing. For one or two dollars a week it is harmless entertainment, and cheaper than most other forms of entertainment. It is certainly better than synthetic marijuana* (I am told).     

The #CDC says that synthetic #marijuana may have sickened 221 people in #Colorado. I don’t smoke pot, but synthetic marijuana sounds like decaf coffee. I don’t get it. Marijuana is legal in Colorado while synthetic marijuana is not. Why would anyone use synthetic marijuana? Some people who used the synthetic stuff suffered high blood pressure, agitation or confusion. Here is a clue: If you buy synthetic marijuana in a state that has legalized the use of real marijuana, you are confused. (Click to tweet)   

WARNING! Reading blogs may cause eyestrain, deep thoughts (rarely), raised eyebrows, furrowing of the forehead, gnashing of teeth, and shaking of the head. If you think you have any of these symptoms, return to my blog the next day for another dose. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.
