Jelly Bean Inventor


Launches CBD
Infused Jelly Beans

B. Le Grand
The original inventor and creator of the Jelly Bean,
David Klein, announced that his company Spectrum
Confections will sell CBD-infused jelly bean candies.
They will offer 38 flavors in three variety types, original,
sugar-free and sour. Each jelly bean will contain
10mg of CBD. Jelly Belly, the company that produces
non-infused jelly beans, will not be involved. Some of
their gourmet flavors include toasted marshmallow,
strawberry cheesecake and mango.
Klein is applying for a patent for his CBD-infused jelly
beans recipe. He originally invented the gourmet jelly
bean in 1976. Four years later in 1980, he sold Jelly
Belly, but continued with a career in the candy industry.
Within less than a decade Jelly Belly became a
dominating force in candy brands, becoming famously
known as President Ronald Regan’s favorite candy.
“You can tell a lot about a fellas character by his way
of eating jelly beans,” President Regan wrote in his
book, in regards to whether he eats one color at a
time or he grabs a handful.
Any retailers or potential buyers of the CBD Jelly Beans
must provide their own CBD. Spectrum Confections
doesn’t actually process any CBD. To counteract
the aftertaste of CBD oil, which can be off-putting,
the original beans are dusted in dextrose, a sugary
substance, and the sugar-free beans are dusted in
Maltitol, another powdery sugar replacement.
“CBD isn’t always the best taste,” a representative
of Spectrum Confections told CBS News. “Therefore
adding this layer of flavor creates an immediate
masking. The CBD is not in the powder.”
They are currently out of stock, but requests can be
made on their website in bags of 800 or more pieces
of the beans.
I wonder what Nancy Regan would think of this.

Mystery Baking Co. 100mg Big Cookies
Double Chocolate-Chip & Snickerdoodle
Melvin Nuggeez

If you’re like me, you like to start your day,


EVERY day, with a morning spark up. I dunno,
something about that feeling of dank smoke
filling my lungs is better than a strong cup of
coffee. However, this doesn’t always bode well
with some folks. Your boss will be the first one
to tell you how loud your clothes and hair are
and, even if he’s “cool”, will probably send you
home for the day. Thankfully, the nice people
from the MYSTERY BAKING COMPANY have
an elegant solution for those of us who need
to get right before the day begins. Their 100MG
BIG COOKIE is a perfect morning edible that
is as delicious as it is euphoric. I had both the
Double Chocolate-Chip Snickerdoodles. These
edibles even pair up well with a cup of coffee!

This cookie is BIG so take your dosage


according to your own tolerance, quarters are
what I’d recommend. I am a daily smoker so
my tolerance is pretty high, but this big cookie
was enough to get me in that good, good
place. And the best part was, I was still able
to conduct my day-to-day activities without
any hints of paranoia or other forms of bad
tripping. No judgement from the squares cuz
they couldn’t smell smoke on my clothes, just
a nice, mellow day getting my shit done.

Edibles Magazine™ Issue 54


MYSTERY BAKING COMPANY has a winner
here with their BIG COOKIE. It’s a great edible
for anyone, from seldom-smokers to hardcore
blazers. If you happen to come across these treats
at your dispensary, I highly recommend them.

Poo Found in
Madrid Pot
B. Le Grand
The first scientific study of cannabis hash sold on the streets of
Madrid reveals that the vast majority contains traces of bacteria from
human feces, and poses a serious health risk to those who smoke it.
"Overall, our results showed that most (88.3%) of the hashish
samples were not suitable for consumption," concluded the study
reported in the journal Forensic Science International. "Hence,
illegal street vending of hashish constitutes a public health issue."

DRIVETHRUBUD.COM
The forensic study of 90 samples of cannabis hash sourced from
dealers on the street in different neighborhoods across Madrid, was
conducted by a team at Complutense University.
Manuel Pérez Moreno, a pharmacist at the Faculty of Veterinary

BUTTONS, COMICS, DECALS,


Medicine and co-author of the study, was the one tasked with
sourcing the product for testing. He explained that when buying from
dealers off the street, the drug typically came in two forms: acorns,
which are small hash balls, and ingots, brick-like hash.
They found that 93% of the acorns were contaminated with E. coli
compared with 29.4% of the ingots, in addition to other foreign
microbiological contaminants found. Escherichia coli (E. coli) POSTERS, T-SHIRTS…
420 GIFT STUFF
bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and animals.
Most varieties of E. coli are harmless or cause relatively short spell
of diarrhea. But there are a few particularly nasty strains, such as E.
coli O157:H7, can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea
and vomiting.
The report stated the average amount of fecal bacteria in each gram
of hash is 500 times higher than the maximum limit set by the U.S.
legislation for cannabis or by European regulation for fruit or tea.
The study also found that 10% of samples contained aspergillus,
a type of mold that is usually harmless but can trigger serious
infections if those with weakened immune systems, underlying lung
disease or asthma, inhale their spores.
Perez told El Pais that the contamination was due to the way in which
the drug was smuggled into Spain: the hash is rolled into small balls
(acorns), wrapped in cellophane and ingested.
"Once they arrive in Spain, they take laxatives to expel the acorns.
And that’s what goes on sale," said the pharmacist who added that
40% of the sample acorns actually smelled of feces.
“The problem comes not just with inhalation but preparing the drug
in order to smoke it. Hashish is being manipulated in the hands
constantly, " explained Perez. "The filters of the joints are hollow. Not
only do you suck the smoke, you also suck particles."
Current laws in Spain limit consumption to private locations, like one
of the many private cannabis clubs that have been opened during
the last decade.
Just short of a third, 31%, of the Spanish population between ages 15
to 64 admit to using cannabis at some point in their lives, according
to a recent report from the Ministry of Health. But a growing number
of people are turning to the drug for medical reasons, and the
findings of this latest study reveals the dangers that buying off the
street poses for them.
"In recent years there has been an increase in the number of people
with cancer who smoke cannabis with the intention of reducing
the side effects of chemotherapy. These patients have weakened
immune systems, so an infection caused by the consumption of
contaminated or adulterated hashish could be fatal," the authors of
the study warn.
