Sweets

Cannabis sweets in this category include chocolates, cookies, lollipops, and chewing gums, mostly from the Czech brand Euphoria. Cannabis appears in various forms: as seeds, flour, seed oil, just aroma, or extract with cannabidiol. This determines what you are actually buying, so we start with the composition.

Seeds, flour, oil or aroma

Hemp seeds are in the Weed Buddies chocolates, where they make up 4% of the composition, and in the Cookies of Mind oat cookies. Hemp flour is in the Euphoria Pure Cannabis brownie, at 5% of the baking mixture. Hemp seed oil is in the Cannabis Airlines lollipop with bubble gum flavor and in the Euphoria Cannabis chewing gum, which also has a cannabis aroma.

The Euphoria Cola lollipop has cannabis only as an aroma, with no seeds in the composition. The lollipop with cannabis and strawberry cheesecake flavor contains 1% organic hemp seed oil. Cold-pressed seed oil is a food raw material, not an extract from flowers.

CBD Gums: how to read the content

Two Euphoria gums with CBD, with blackcurrant and cannabis mint flavors, contain 100 mg of cannabidiol per entire package. There are 12 pieces in the box with a total net weight of 17 g, so the number in the name refers to the package, not one gum. Both are sugar-free and sweetened with natural sweeteners.

The Topical gums with lemon balm contain 15 mg of broad spectrum CBD and 120 mg of lemon balm leaf extract in one gum, and there are 18 in the package. This is a dietary supplement with a recommended portion of one or two gums per day, at most three. It is sweetened with isomalt, sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol, and steviol glycosides.

Chocolate, cookies, and lollipops: base composition

The Weed Buddies chocolates in a 100 g package contain at least 45% cocoa mass, and alongside hemp seeds, there are coconut flakes and rice balls, each at 10%. The brownie in a 55 g package is a cookie based on sugar, wheat flour, eggs, and chocolate. The Cookies of Mind cookies have an oat base and a 48 g package.

The Cola and strawberry lollipops consist mainly of sugar and glucose syrup with acidity regulator, aroma, and colorants. The Cola lollipop weighs 12 g, while the strawberry one, with chewing gum inside, weighs 25 g. The Euphoria Cannabis gum is sold in a package of 9 pieces weighing 21 g.

Allergens and for whom

The brownie contains gluten, eggs, milk, and soy, while the Weed Buddies chocolates contain soy. For the Cola lollipop and the strawberry lollipop, manufacturers indicate the possible presence of milk, soy, and gluten, and for the Cola lollipop, also nuts. If you are on an elimination diet, always check the full list on the label.

The strawberry lollipop has a warning that it is not recommended for children under 4 years old due to the risk of choking. The brownie and both CBD gums are marked as products for adults. Keep them out of reach of children.

Cannabis sweets: what else to check on the label

For some products, the manufacturer declares no THC: this is the case for the Cookies of Mind cookies, the Cola lollipop, and both CBD gums. If a product contains cannabidiol, check whether the number of milligrams is given per piece or for the entire package.

Also pay attention to the expiration date. The CBD gums have a shelf life of up to 36 months, the Cannabis Airlines lollipop up to two years from production, and the Cookies of Mind cookies up to 12 months. Store all sweets in a dry place, away from heat sources, as chocolate can bloom and sugar mass can soften.

Other cannabis food products can be found in the Food category, and if you prefer to make sweets yourself, check the recipe for cannabis chocolate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do sweets with hemp seeds contain CBD?

This should not be assumed. Seeds, flour, and seed oil are food ingredients, while cannabidiol is provided separately, in milligrams. Seeds are for example in the Weed Buddies chocolates. In this category, the CBD content is declared by the Euphoria gums with CBD and the Topical gums with lemon balm.

Is 100 mg of CBD the content of one gum?

No. In the Euphoria gums with CBD, 100 mg refers to the entire package of 12 pieces with a net weight of 17 g. It is different in the Topical gums, where the manufacturer states 15 mg of CBD per gum. Therefore, always check whether the note refers to a piece or the entire package for each CBD gum.

Does the Cola lollipop contain hemp seeds?

No. Cannabis is only present as a cannabis aroma, alongside cola aroma, sugar, glucose syrup, citric acid, and two colorants. The manufacturer declares that the lollipop does not contain THC. The lollipop weighs 12 g, and the manufacturer indicates the possible presence of milk, soy, gluten, and nuts.

Which sweets are sugar-free?
