( CNN ) Do n't bogart that spoon , man . Lem me get a hit off that cone , dude . Pass the bowl ... of ice cream ? Could Ben and Jerry 's , the counterculture snack empire gone mainstream , be planning a marijuana-infused ice cream ? `` Makes sense to me . You know , combine your pleasures , '' co-founder Ben Cohen said in an interview with HuffPost Live that 's been buzzing among marijuana aficionados since it aired last month . Like attitudes about marijuana itself , the story went mainstream this week . It makes some sense . Co-founder Jerry Greenfield noted that the duo has some experience with , uh , substances . And the company already gives a nod to the marijuana culture with flavor names such as `` Half Baked . '' Marijuana is becoming more mainstream , too . Four states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana , and attitudes nationwide have been changing in favor of pot , which remains banned by federal law . In January 2014 , a CNN/ORC poll found that 55 % of Americans favored the legalization of marijuana . Only 16 % thought that in 1987 , CNN reported at the time . In Colorado , where recreational marijuana use is legal under state law , edibles containing weed now make up nearly half the market for pot products , according to the Denver Post . Alas , pot fans , Cohen and Greenfield no longer control the company . They sold it to Unilever Inc. for $ 326 million in 2000 . `` If It were my decision , I 'd be doing it , '' Greenfield told HuffPost Live . `` But fortunately , we have wiser heads at the company that figure those things out . '' A spokeswoman for the company told AdWeek magazine that there are n't any current plans for pot ice cream , but she left the door open to the possibility . `` Ben & Jerry 's has n't given serious consideration to the possibility of cannabis-infused ice cream , '' spokeswoman Kelly Mohr told AdWeek . `` Perhaps it 's high time . '' Of course , all this does make you wonder : What would you munch on if you got the munchies from a bowl of Ben & Jerry 's ? Is weed legal in your state ?
