Share
Cannabis-infused gummies are a popular and discreet way to enjoy the benefits of THC or CBD. Whether you're seeking relaxation, pain relief, or a gentle mood lift, making your own pot gummies allows you to control the dosage and ingredients.
This guide will walk you through the process of creating your own cannabis gummies at home.
Understanding Cannabis Gummies
Cannabis gummies are edible candies infused with cannabis extracts. They offer a smoke-free alternative to consuming cannabis and are favored for their convenience and long-lasting effects.
Ingredients and Tools You'll Need
Ingredients:
-
½ cup cannabis-infused coconut oil or tincture
-
½ cup water
-
1 package flavored gelatin (e.g., JELL-O)
-
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
-
1 teaspoon sunflower or soy lecithin (helps bind oil and water)
-
Optional: citric acid or sugar for coating
Tools:
-
Saucepan
-
Whisk
-
Gummy molds
-
Dropper or spoon
-
Refrigerator
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cannabis-Infused Oil
If you don't have cannabis-infused oil, you'll need to make it first. This involves decarboxylating your cannabis to activate the THC or CBD, then infusing it into coconut oil over low heat. Ensure you strain out any plant material before using the oil in your gummies.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the water, cannabis-infused oil, and lecithin. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
3. Add Gelatin
Slowly add both the flavored and unflavored gelatin to the mixture, whisking continuously to prevent clumps. Continue stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour into Molds
Using a dropper or spoon, carefully fill your gummy molds with the mixture. Work quickly, as the mixture can start to set at room temperature.
5. Set the Gummies
Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and allow them to set for at least 2 hours. Once firm, remove the gummies from the molds.
6. Optional: Coat the Gummies
If desired, lightly coat the gummies with citric acid or sugar for added flavor and to prevent sticking. Ensure the gummies are dry before coating.
