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.
