This is a cool turning-lemons-into-lemonade type of story:
A woman in California named Susan Braig -- a breast-cancer survivor -- is taking old pills and tablets and other drugs and mounting them on jewelry and selling them. An artist and former grant writer, she made a tiara out of her unused chemotherapy drugs and went from there.
There's a sad downside, unfortunately: she needs to sell the jewelry to pay for medical costs leftover from her cancer treatment.
The jewelry is nice looking; you can check out the Facebook page for her company, Designer Drugs Jewelry, to see some samples. Her story has been picked up by a bunch of outlets, and she's getting some inquiries on Facebook about how to buy her stuff. She says it's only available through appointments or at craft shows. I think she might end up having to expand her availability soon....

Great story. Hopefully, she doesn't sell her jewelry here in Massachusetts. Not that I don't admire her originality and Entrepeneurial spirit.
No, sadly she would probably be arrested and jailed for illegal distribution of controlled substances. Such is life in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. If it creates jobs, revenue, or General economic growth, we'll find a way to tax it,outlaw it, or give it away to those who are either too stupid, inept or lazy to actually go out and get a job. One of my uncles told me that a long time ago.
