Hi Roberta, thank you for your kind review! 🌟 We’re so glad your order arrived quickly and that you’re enjoying the Slumber Blend along with the Curb AM & PM blends. It means so much to know they’ve been a great fit for you — we’re truly grateful for your support! — Tracy & Dean, Essential Candy 💛🍬
Great product still very happy with it. The soft gummy bears do help me sleep with no side effects. Only issue is; do not run out of product again. I was forced to look for alternatives, even renewed my Medical Marijuana card. I did find another product but was not as good tasting nor as effective as your product.

Hi Ernest, thank you for your thoughtful review and for being such a loyal customer! 💛 We truly appreciate your patience during the times when our CBD gummies were delayed. The increasing government regulations around CBD made it harder for us to keep them consistently in stock, and ultimately we decided to step away from gummies so we could focus on the rest of our line without it impacting our business. While the gummies are no longer available, our Slumber Blend lozenges have been a wonderful alternative for many of our customers looking for restful sleep support. We’d love for you to give them a try, and please know we’re always here to help guide you to blends that may be a good fit. Your support means so much to us! — Tracy & Dean, Essential Candy 🌿🍬

Thank you Victoria for your feedback. We work very hard to provide the perfect size piece that lasts an average of 5-6 minutes. Unfortunately at this time we are not able to increase the size of our hard candies. Should anything change in the future, we will be sure to let you know. Be Well and Stay Sweet 🍬
Flavorful and interesting
