There is no question that Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream has always had some pretty creative flavors, like Karamel Sutra and Candy Bar Pie…yum! But when the company’s founders recently revealed on HuffPo Live that they would be open to the idea of selling a cannabis-infused ice cream, we took notice.

Yep, co-founder Jerry Greenfield said, “If it were my decision, we’d be doing it.” Unluckily for us, actual Ben & Jerry aren’t involved in the business decision-making process anymore; they’re just, in their words, the “pretty faces” for the brand. But, that doesn’t mean their ideas shouldn’t be heard.
