Weird BUT true

-

It’s Netflix and really chill. The on-demand streaming company is hawking marijuana strains based on its original shows such as “Orange is the New Black” and “Arrested Developmen­t.”

Prototypes of the cannabis varietals have names like “Poussey Riot” and “Banana Stand Kush” and are meant to be paired with the programs they reference.

They were sold at a pop-up event in West Hollywood, Calif., over the weekend and will soon hit the market elsewhere.

Winning really puts the fun in fungi.

A shopping trip to pick up mushrooms led a New York man to buy a lottery ticket that won him $5 million.

John Lewis, 56, of Saranac Lake stopped at a grocery store before work and, on a whim, bought a $10 Set For Life scratch-off ticket from a vending machine.

“I never put money in those things,” he said. “What possessed me to . . .I will never know.”

This junkie doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

A man stuffed heroin into his fake leg and tried to smuggle it into a Florida jail, according to cops.

Officers found the dope — along with a syringe — inside William Conley’s prosthetic limb after he refused to take it off at the Marion County jail, police said.

WhiteHouse.com is finally getting into politics instead of porn.

The creator of the adult video site — not to be mistaken for WhiteHouse.gov — is now using the platform to protest President Trump, sharing news articles and posting polls about whether he should be impeached. Just don’t expect a hug. A Japanese tech firm has developed a “Buddhist priest” robot designed to give blessings at funerals.

The plastic automaton, named Pepper, can step in when a human priest isn’t available, says SoftBank, the robot’s designer. It will cost about $450 to rent one when they hit the market.
