Buyers beware. Falsely labeled products are misleading consumers. There are not 300 mg per gummy, as indicated on this label. There are 10 mg per gummy and 300 mg in the entire container.
What’s the worst kind of pain? At the top of the list is debilitating chronic pain that, despite painkillers and other treatments, is unrelenting day after day. Chronic pain gradually destroys the soul. A study of suicide cases between 2003 and 2014 found evidence that as many as 10% of cases involved chronic pain. Now, with the availability of marijuana for medical treatment in Canada and most US states, is new hope being corrupted by false advertising?
No one should suffer pain that can be safely managed. The addition of medical marijuana as a treatment option has helped many. But despite heavy regulation, there are unscrupulous entrepreneurs ready to make a quick buck, and they are banking on your trust. What hurts, is that they are taking your money while also betraying your hope for pain relief.
People enduring chronic pain have probably heard their doctor say, “You have intractable pain and there is no cure.” Given new availability of medical marijuana, it should not be surprising that many have wanted to try it.
Chewable gummies are particularly attractive because they are so easy to take. You can find dozens of products online marketed as “300mg CBD Gummies”. CBD is short for cannabidiol, derived from the hemp plant. Hemp contains less THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana plants. While research continues, there is substantial evidence that CBD can help with both musculoskeletal and nerve pain.
But the marketing and labeling of these gummies is a despicable mess.
Let’s focus on the dosage. Getting the dosage right for any medication is important, and for hemp or marijuana it can be tricky. So, it’s good advice to consult your doctor. Don’t rely on the misleading information found on websites promoting these products. Typical dosages for CBD can range from less than 10 to more 300 milligrams daily. That’s a big range. Finding the dosage that meets the needs of different people usually means starting with a low dose and gradually increasing by about 5 milligrams daily until the desired effect is achieved. Most research to date suggests it’s safe to take up to 1,500 mg daily.
So back to those CBD gummies. It is very important to know what dose is in a single gummy. We shopped around to find out.
Misleading and downright fraudulent information abounds. Dozens of products mislead consumers into thinking there are 300 mg of CBD per gummy. Not true. This is the total CBD in each bottle of 30 gummies. Other products falsely state on the label “300 MG Per Gummy” when in fact there are only 10 mg in each gummy. Indeed, a single gummy at 300 mg of CBD is an extremely high starting dose! Just two gummies would be 600 mg of CBD. It’s absurd. A phone call to these producers confirmed the outright error, and yet, these products remain on the market. Some companies have received warnings, but seemingly with no consequence.
For unsuspecting consumers seeking pain relief, this amounts to gross negligence by producers and regulators alike. Product websites show people cured of pain. But there’s scant information to clarify dosages and guide consumers on how to use this kind of medication in the treatment of pain. How can this be allowed by health authorities?
P.T. Barnum, the circus promoter, said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Entrepreneurs make a lot of money with such deceptive slick promotion. How many people in chronic pain with limited funds are fooled by ads about quick relief of pain and are still suffering. It’s shameful, and people in pain deserve better.

Any updates on this? Just received my 2 bottles today. Nothing like the website
SCAMMERS!!! Ordered free Gummies from Dragon’s Den I thought. The company included oil & cream. Charged 2 separate charges. Contacted company as per bottle above. Bianca was her name. No refunds & these charges would be ongoing. Requested to speak to a Manager. They were all in a meeting & I’m still waiting. Reported them to the authorities. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM!!!!! SCAM ARTIST?
Do not buy this product they are scammers. I thought this product was 19.99 and they billed me over 300 us money.
I like so many others ordered these Gummies, from an ad on Facebook. Said it was from the Dragon Den’s, to help stop smoking. I have been leery about using the product. After reading all the comments I think I have been dooped too! Took one gummy today and am hoping no side effects. Will never understand how these people sleep at night, ripping people off!
Absolutely the biggest scam going ..all I asked for was the free sample and was billed over 150 dollars …they are Liars..crooks and if you didn’t know it says 300mg and your made to believe per dose when it’s for the whole bottle …you could actually take the whole bottle with out any effect. They wouldn’t refund anything till I said lawyer and all of a sudden they started to make me offers to get rid of me ….stay away and tell your friends
We have been scammed friends!!get a new card #!I just lost 354.00!
This company is a scam. They sent me a CBD sample and charge me 117.00 also sent some cream that I did not order and charged shipping for that. I talked to 2 different people at “customer service”. Long story short I will not be taking these Gummies and I have contacted my credit card company to see if I can get the charges reversed. Watch out for repeated charges on your card.
I’ve been robbed bought the exact bottle shown in picture . I have 6 bottles and some dumb anti wrinkle cream I never bought I’m out 350 dollars for what…… a product I thought I knew about now I wonder about. Any suggestions trying to get a hold of anyone want my money back .ty
Hi Rebecca, guess what I got the same thing and I called 1 844 963 4247 ext 171, unfortunately the trial time you had has expired like myself but sticking to your guns and wanting to return every single bottle is not what they really. I held fast and I got a 50% money back, better then nothing and kept the whole shipment. Your still one up on them because the dummies helps with pain, for me is a good thing so now I need to try them out. Hoping Ive help you
Helped me my disabled son and my daughter in law. Tried cbd before but these help a myriad of issues. I’d like to find out more about this as my life has improved since I started eating these.
Also if you think these are no good, would you be able to recommend another one you think is good?

I purchased these to quit smoking it’s not even the ones I ordered totally different gummies that I ordered payed 364.for something that doesn’t even work I wrote the company and got no response back I’m not impressed at all
I received these gummies today. I couldn’t find any information online or with the picture that looks like the bottle that they came in (different than the website). I found this page by entering the NPN #. I feel like these are not what they say that they are and I’ve lost almost 400$!
My husband received these as well just today in the mail. I am leery about allowing them to even be opened as if the label is this misleading and none of the information about this business is traceable, are these gummies even safe to consume? The label contact information does not trace back to anything and the phone number on the label brings you to a BBB page on another business all together. The address is not able to be found and does not match the original location of this “business”. The label on the bottle has contact information, the package in which is was shipped had a sender address/return address, and there was a packing slip also had contact information for returns. The bottle label contact information does not match the contact information on the package or shipping label. My husband said that the phone number on the order is also not the same as either of the phone numbers on the label or package. The bottle has an NPN, which I did look up and the information on the government website for NPN database does not line up with the product received. The NPN on the label when searched brings up Cannabis Sativa in an oral oil form and it is a peppermint flavoured oil. These are not oil and are not peppermint. They are labelled as lemon, although they are likely different flavours based on colours. I’m not sure if these are even safe to consume let alone if they contain any CBD. At this point I don’t even know what we can do.
I’m in the same boat recieved mine today . I’m scared. Did you get any leads . Please let me know ty
When I wanted to purchase the gummies on website it was in a different packaging but when I received the gummies this is the gummies that I received. I feel cheated
