INTRODUCTION
Making weed gummies at home can be a fun and creative way to enjoy cannabis edibles. While you can easily purchase THC gummies from stores or online, making your own allows you to control both the dosage and the flavor. Plus, it can be a quicker alternative since you can use rapid-onset THC powder, which may kick in faster compared to store-bought products. Store-bought edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to four hours to take effect, while homemade ones can be faster. Did you check this twd shop
When I first experimented with making my weed gummies, I was inspired by the Dissolvable THC Powder I had come across while trying cannabis drinks in Canada. This water-soluble powder can be added to any liquid, from water to coffee, and it made me wonder if I could use it to make candy. After several attempts, I managed to create a simple recipe that I was satisfied with, and the results were quick to take effect—around 20 minutes for me.
To make weed gummies, you will need some basic ingredients, including water-soluble cannabis powder or extract. This type of cannabis product is necessary because regular cannabis oils are better suited for making oil-based treats like cookies or chocolates. Water-soluble powders or extracts, such as those from brands like Green Organic Dutchman or Veryvell, are ideal for candy-making and are available for purchase from legal online retailers in Canada, like OCS or BC Cannabis Stores. If you’re going to a physical store, it’s a good idea to call ahead to ensure they have these products.
Here’s a simple recipe to make 20 small weed gummies. The recipe is straightforward and takes just 30 minutes from start to finish.
INGREDIENTS AND EQUIPMENT
- 1 package (85g) of Jell-O powder (any flavor you like)
- 2 packets (7g each) of unflavored gelatin (or 2 tbsp)
- 5 tbsp hot water
- Water-soluble cannabis powder or extract (I used a 10-mg THC pack)
- 1/2 tsp citric acid (optional, for sour gummies)
- Silicone candy molds (or cornstarch to make your mold)
- INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the Jell-O powder, gelatin, and hot water in a microwave-safe bowl or cup with a spout. Stir until well combined.
- Microwave the mixture in 10-second intervals until it starts to foam, checking between intervals to prevent it from overflowing.
- Once foamed, stir the mixture until the gelatin is fully dissolved. The mixture should become clear and hot.
- Add your cannabis powder or extract, along with citric acid (if using), and stir until everything is dissolved.
- Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds. If you’re using Veryvell drops, add them directly into each mold before pouring the mixture.
- Freeze for about 20 minutes, or until the gummies are firm enough to remove from the molds. You can eat them immediately or refrigerate them overnight for a firmer texture. Store the gummies in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze them for up to a month.
