Is it legal to make your own chewing gum from chicle?

[Guest guest]

Hello-

I really miss chewing gum, and also have acid reflux so am hoping I can do

something to keep my breath ok when I go on dates Haha, just being honest.

So - is there any legal gum?? If not, is chicle legal? It's the sap from

sapodilla trees, so I don't know if it's a polysaccharide. You can buy it plain

from Glee Gum company here http://www.gleegum.com/refill-kit-ingredients.htm

I hope it's legal!

It's a gum. All gums are illegal. Did you know chewing gum was

originally spruce pitch?
