Portrait of KJ Worley, founder of Buddha Gums

The Founder

"The rituals we keep deserve beautiful objects."

KJ Worley — former scholarship athlete, former endangered-species biologist — went looking for a dry mouth remedy worthy of the cannabis ritual and found nothing. So she made it. Amla, tulsi, and clove in a black tin.

Questions

The fine print.

Is Buddha Gums sugar-free?
Yes. Sweetened with xylitol — a birch-derived, sugar-free alternative that's kind to teeth and to the palate. Unlike sugar, xylitol cannot be metabolized by cavity-causing bacteria, helping support a healthier oral environment. Dry mouth is more than uncomfortable. Saliva is the mouth's natural defense against bacteria and decay; without enough of it, the risk of cavities, gum irritation, and bad breath rises.Sources: California Dental Association consumer summary on xylitol and oral health; American Dental Association overview of dry mouth (xerostomia) and oral health risks.
Why amla, tulsi, and clove?
Cannabis dry mouth isn't just about thirst — heat and THC can compound it by drying oral tissues further and stressing gum health over time. Amla, tulsi, and clove are the three botanicals at the heart of the formula, chosen for their long history of use in oral care and ritual wellness.Sources: American Dental Association, 'Cannabis: Oral Health Effects'; Bellocchio et al., 'Cannabinoids Drugs and Oral Health—From Recreational Side-Effects to Medicinal Purposes: A Systematic Review' (Int J Mol Sci, 2021); Anwar et al., 'Herbal remedies for oral and dental health: a comprehensive review of their multifaceted mechanisms' (PMC, 2025); 'Ayurveda in Dentistry: A Review' (PMC).
Does it help with dry mouth?
It was composed for it. Clove and tulsi refresh, amla brightens, and xylitol keeps the palate clean and moving. The act of chewing itself stimulates saliva production — making it far more effective than a mint for relieving dry mouth.
Is there THC or CBD in Buddha Gums?
No. No THC, no CBD, no cannabinoids of any kind.
Why $22 a tin?
Because it isn't ordinary gum. Most gums are heat-processed, which degrades active ingredients; Buddha Gums is cold-pressed in small batches at Per Os Biosciences in Maryland, using patented technology that keeps amla, tulsi, and clove bioactive. The ingredients are the rockstars here — sourced botanicals with centuries of use in oral care — and each Founder's Batch tin is numbered, 33 pieces strong, and made in the USA.
Where is it made?
Small batches in Maryland, at Per Os Biosciences. Most gums are heat-processed; Buddha Gums uses patented cold-pressed technology to maintain bioactives. Made in the USA.
