RICHMOND (CBS SF) -- The founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream say they would consider selling a cannabis-infused flavor, when it's completely legal.

Jerry Greenfield, who founded the company with Cohen wasn't completely on board with the idea, but didn't dismiss the suggestion, saying he and Cohen "have had previous experiences with substances."
