Each been reportedly contains 10mg of CBD, which Klein says makes it easy for customers to administer the right dose (and while it may be cost-ineffective to keep snacking, at least we know that eating too much CBD — unlike sugar, or contaminants that show up in some products — isn’t an issue, health-wise).

The company’s original, sugar-free, and sour beans are currently out of stock, but would-be customers can contact Spectrum Confections to inquire about ordering.
