Weed Lifestyle

Ben & Jerry on Board With Cannabis Ice Cream, Source: http://higherperspective.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/bj.pngBen & Jerry’s ice cream is known for its wide variety of unique flavors such as Phish Food, White Russian, Hazed and Confused, and even a Jimmy Fallon inspired flavor, The Tonight Dough. In a recent interview with HuffPost Live, the two fun loving ice cream icons revealed that they would totally be up for making cannabis infused ice cream in the areas where it’s legal.

“Makes sense to me,” Cohen told the host of HuffPost Live in response to a fan’s suggestion that Ben & Jerry’s make weed infused ice cream. “Combine your pleasures.”

Jerry Greenfield was a little more reserved in his enthusiasm but he agreed that he would endorse the idea. “Ben and I have had previous experiences with substances,” revealed Jerry Greenfield, after a little hesitation. “I think legalizing marijuana is a wonderful thing, rather than putting people in jail for not hurting anybody else, and I’m very supportive of that.”

Ben and Jerry’s has made a nod to weed culture before, featuring ice cram flavors like Satisfy My Bowl, Half Baked, and Dave Matthews Band Magic Brownies Encore Edition.

We may see the company release weed infused ice cream in the future, but unfortunately the decision is not up to the companies namesakes as they sold their company to Unilver in 2001.

“It’s not my decision. If it were my decision, I’d be doing it, but fortunately we have wiser heads at the company that figure those things out,” said Greenfield. Well, weed may very well have an exciting future in the ice cream biz, but for now weedists can always just buy Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and enjoy it after a bowl of their own devising.
