mellows

Mellows is a California-based artisan confectionery brand specializing in handcrafted, cannabis-infused marshmallows. Founded in 2015 by Stephanie Hua, a professionally trained chef with a background in food writing and photography, the company was built on the premise of merging culinary craftsmanship with the emerging cannabis edibles market. Stephanie is also the author of 'Edibles: Small Bites for the Modern Cannabis Kitchen,' published by Chronicle Books in November 2018, underscoring the brand's deep roots in culinary expertise and cannabis education.

The company produces a diverse and rotating lineup of gourmet marshmallow flavors, including Birthday Cake, Brown Butter Sage, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry Shortcake, Peanut Butter Pretzel, Orange Dreamsicle, S'mores, Raspberry Rose Lychee, Black Sesame, and Chocolate Malt. Each flavor is developed with an emphasis on culinary creativity and genuine taste quality, distinguishing Mellows from mass-market cannabis edibles that often prioritize potency over flavor.

A core pillar of the Mellows brand is its commitment to low-dose formulation. Each piece is dosed at 5 mg of cannabis, a deliberate choice designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of consumers — from the cannabis-curious newcomer to the experienced microdosing enthusiast. This approachable dosage model empowers consumers to calibrate their own experience, consuming one piece for a mild effect or multiple pieces for a stronger one. This philosophy positions Mellows as an accessible, responsible entry point into the cannabis edibles category.

Beyond taste and dosage, Mellows places a strong emphasis on product aesthetics and the overall unboxing experience. The brand believes that presentation is integral to enjoyment, and significant attention is paid to the packaging design to reflect the handcrafted nature and premium quality of the product inside. The company operates under California Department of Public Health license CDPH-10003503, confirming its status as a licensed cannabis edibles manufacturer in the state of California.

Mellows targets adult consumers who appreciate artisan food products and are interested in cannabis as a lifestyle and wellness component. The brand occupies a premium niche within the licensed cannabis edibles space, combining fine confectionery traditions with compliant, thoughtfully dosed cannabis infusion.
