Guide to Soft Power Sweets

Soft Power Sweets proves that cannabis edibles can be genuinely delicious. As the cannabis arm of Lagusta’s Luscious — the oldest vegan chocolate company in America — this New Paltz, New York brand brings decades of confectionery expertise to every caramel and chocolate bar it produces.

The Soft Power Sweets Story

Soft Power Sweets did not start in the cannabis industry. It started in a chocolate kitchen. Lagusta’s Luscious has been crafting artisan vegan chocolates and confections for years, building a reputation as one of the finest small-batch chocolate makers in the country — and the oldest vegan chocolate company in America. When New York’s legal cannabis market opened, the transition from world-class confections to world-class cannabis confections was natural.

The brand’s name draws from Noam Chomsky’s concept of “soft power” — the idea that influence can come through attraction and persuasion rather than force. It is a fitting philosophy for a company that believes the best cannabis edibles should win you over through flavor and craft, not just milligrams.

Every ingredient is chosen with intention. The cannabis comes from Hepworth Farms, a seventh-generation organic farm in the Hudson Valley. The chocolate is sourced from Republica del Cacao, an award-winning producer of fine cacao from South America. Everything is 100% vegan. The combination earned Soft Power Sweets the number one Chocolate Edible award at the NYS Cannabis Cup — validation from the industry that craft and cannabis belong together.

What Makes Soft Power Sweets Different

Confectionery Expertise First

Most cannabis edible brands are cannabis companies that learned to make food. Soft Power Sweets is a food company — an acclaimed one — that expanded into cannabis. That distinction matters in every bite. The chocolate is properly tempered. The caramels have the right chew. The flavor development reflects years of recipe refinement, not a distillate-forward afterthought.

Sourcing Integrity

Hepworth Farms is not a random cannabis supplier. It is a seventh-generation organic farm with deep roots in the Hudson Valley’s agricultural community. Republica del Cacao’s chocolate is traceable to specific growing regions in Ecuador and Colombia. Every ingredient has a story and a standard behind it.

100% Vegan

All Soft Power Sweets products are fully vegan, made without dairy, gelatin, or any animal-derived ingredients. They are also gluten-free. For consumers with dietary restrictions, these are edibles you can enjoy without compromise — and they taste better than most conventional options.
