The buzz
A medical marijuana shop in California is selling pot-flavored ice cream. Creme De Canna in Los Angeles offers the marijuana-infused treat in three flavors — Banannabis Foster, Straw-Mari Cheesecake and TRIPle Chocolate Brownie — with more on the way. Which makes you wonder, when you eat a bowl rather than smoke it, do you still get the munchies?
The number
70
Minutes per day that people spend consuming news from TV, radio, newspapers and the Internet, according to survey results released this week by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. The time spent on traditional media is consistent with a decade ago, the report said, but people are spending 13 additional minutes online.
