Marijuana Ice Cream Kills It!…Plus, New Video: Paul Discusses His Own Passive Aggressive Behavior and How to Kill It

paulcrik September 23, 2010 112

Medical marijuana is now legal in many states, which is giving entrepreneurial people the opportunity to make the business of getting “high” both pleasant and more socially acceptable. Jonathan Kolodinski of Santa Cruz California is making gourmet, pot infused ice-cream in flavors like “bananabis foster” and “straw-mari cheesecake.” In order to purchase a $15 pint – which is equivalent to eight joints – you need to present a medical marijuana card. At a time when many businesses are struggling, Kolodinski’s ice-cream, called “Soquel’s creme de canna,” seems to have hit at just the right time – putting what for some is a taboo necessity in the guise of a common guilty pleasure. As marijuana continues to become more and more socially acceptable (and legal), it’s likely we’ll see a myriad of tasty, fatty dessert-ish commercial treats infused with edible medical grade THC.

I’ve always said guilt is one of the least useful emotions, but “Soquel’s creme de canna” is making me eat my words here. In a culture of sin tax and stigma, it’s good to see the guilt that comes with downing a bit of saturated fat countered by some positive, creative effects. By taking their “prescriptions” in the form of ice-cream, patients might even deflect the judgments often cast on their efforts to maintain good health and/or manage pain through smoking. This quote from writer Brenna Coleman seems fitting – “Perhaps the (rocky) road to becoming this developed, conscious society is long and twisted, with a little bit of the indecent, obscene, and profane along the way.” That’s Killin’ It!

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
