Ben and Jerry think a weed-infused flavor of their eponymous ice cream would be great

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, better known to you as the guys who created Ben & Jerry's ice cream, sat down with HuffPost Live to talk about ice cream — and marijuana. A commenter suggested that the company should create a "cannabis edibles flavor," to which Cohen declared, "Makes sense to me. Combine your pleasures!"

Unfortunately for residents of states where weed is legal, Cohen's co-founder was a little more hesitant, noting that while the men have "had previous experiences with substances," and that "legalizing marijuana is a wonderful thing," Ben and Jerry actually have no control over Ben & Jerry's new flavor creations.

"We have wiser heads at the company that figure those things out," Greenfield said. "We actually don't run anything. Ben always says, 'We're just pretty faces,' and even that's a little bit of a stretch."
