Why Make THC Gummies at Home?

Homemade weed gummies give you full control over the potency, flavour, and ingredients. They’re also discreet, easy to dose, and can be a healthier alternative to smoking or vaping cannabis.

Here are a few benefits of making THC gummies at home:

• Cost-effective: Store-bought edibles can get pricey.
• Customizable: Choose your flavours, shapes, and cannabinoid ratios.
• Potency control: Tailor the dosage to your preference.
• Fun & rewarding: Making edibles can be a great kitchen activity.

 

What You Need to Make THC Gummies

Before we dive into the THC gummies recipe, let’s go over the basic tools and ingredients you’ll need.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup cannabis-infused oil or tincture (THC coconut oil or THC tincture work great)
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 packet (85g) flavoured gelatin (like Jell-O)
• 2 tbsp unflavoured gelatin (for firmness)
• 2-3 tsp lecithin (sunflower or soy – helps bind oil and water)
• Optional: Vitamin C powder, fruit puree, or sugar for coating

Tools:

• Saucepan
• Whisk or spoon
• Gummy moulds (silicone moulds work best)
• Dropper or syringe (for easy mould filling)
• Refrigerator

 

Step-by-Step: How to Make THC Gummies

Step 1: Prepare Your Cannabis Infusion

The key to any good edible is properly prepared THC oil or tincture. You can either buy a ready-made THC infusion from a licensed provider or make it yourself.

To make your own THC coconut oil:

1. Decarboxylate your cannabis: Bake ground weed at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes.
2. Infuse with oil: Simmer decarbed weed with coconut oil (1 cup per 7–10g) for 2–3 hours in a double boiler.
3. Strain: Use a cheesecloth to remove plant material and save the infused oil.

Pro tip: Always label homemade oils and store safely away from kids or pets.

Step 2: Mix Ingredients

1. Pour water and lecithin into a saucepan over low heat.
2. Add your THC oil or tincture and mix thoroughly until it emulsifies.
3. Gradually sprinkle in the flavoured gelatin and unflavoured gelatin, whisking constantly to avoid clumps.
4. Stir the mixture continuously for 5–10 minutes until fully dissolved and smooth (do NOT boil).

Step 3: Mould the Gummies

1. Once the mixture is smooth, use a dropper or syringe to quickly fill your gummy moulds.
2. Tap moulds gently to remove air bubbles.
3. Place moulds in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or until gummies are firm).

Step 4: Store and Enjoy

• Once set, pop the gummies out of the moulds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Homemade THC gummies can last up to 2 weeks refrigerated, or 2–3 months if frozen.

Optional: Toss gummies in a light sugar coating to prevent sticking.

 

Dosing Homemade THC Gummies

One of the trickiest parts of making weed gummies is figuring out the potency. Here’s a simple way to estimate your dosage:

1. Determine THC content of your cannabis (e.g., 20% THC = 200mg per gram).
2. Multiply by the number of grams used (e.g., 7g x 200mg = 1400mg THC in total).
3. Divide total THC by the number of gummies made (e.g., 1400mg ÷ 70 gummies = 20mg per gummy).

Start low and go slow! If you’re new to edibles, begin with 5–10mg THC and wait at least 2 hours before deciding if you need more.

 

THC Gummies Recipe: Quick Summary

Here’s a quick reference for the classic THC gummies recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup THC oil or tincture
• 1/2 cup cold water

• 2 tbsp unflavoured gelatin
• 2–3 tsp lecithin

Steps:

1. Mix water, lecithin, and THC oil over low heat.
2. Add gelatin gradually, stirring constantly.
3. Once smooth, fill moulds.
4. Refrigerate until firm.
5. Store in fridge or freezer.

 

Common Mistakes When Making Edibles

Making edibles, especially weed gummies, is a bit of an art. Here are some mistakes to avoid:

• Overheating THC: High temps can degrade cannabinoids.
• Skipping lecithin: Without it, your oil and water will separate.
• Uneven dosing: Always stir well before moulding.
• Boiling the mix: Heat can destroy both flavour and potency.

 

Tips for Better THC Gummies

Want to level up your homemade edibles game? Try these pro tips:

• Flavour tweaks: Add natural fruit juice, citrus zest, or mint extract.
• CBD option: Replace or blend THC with CBD tincture for a balanced high.
• Vegan version: Use agar agar instead of gelatin.
• Extra strength: Use concentrated distillate oil for higher potency.

Is It Legal to Make THC Gummies at Home in Canada?

Yes — under the Cannabis Act, adults in Canada are allowed to make cannabis edibles at home for personal use. However, there are a few important rules to follow:

• You must be 19 or older (18 in some provinces).
