S'mores delivers a sweet symphony of fluffy marshmallows, crushed graham crackers and rich velvety chocolate made with cacao beans from small farms in Ecuador, Ghana and Ivory Coast,” (1).
In each package, there are 10 pieces of chocolate which each S’more’s contains 10 mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), as well as various aromatic terpenes. KANHA mentions that their S’more’s product is quadruple tested by independent labs where they test the hybrid cannabis oil to “ensure precision dosage and zero pesticides” (1). The S’mores product highlights KANHA’s nanotech which provides complete cannabinoid absorption and fast-acting effects.

"Whether you want to enjoy it by a campfire or as an everyday indulgence, S'mores is the ultimate summer treat for chocolate enthusiasts who love cannabis and outdoor adventure."
The company’s debut into the chocolate industry isn’t just something to celebrate by itself. Their new product corresponds with the 100-year anniversary of S’mores.
