Making Cannabis Gummy

 My Cannabis gummy setup:


From left to right: Small saucepan, double boiler, back row; jelly jar with THC oil, pack of Potassium Sorbate, jar of dry Lecithin, Knox Gelatine, blowl to "bloom unflavored gelatine, Jello 3oz box, oranges for juice, front row; whisk, juicer, measuring equipment and gummy molds.

Important: the Cannabis must be Decarboxylated before infusion.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water or juice divided
  • 3-4 packs of unflavored gelatin  
  • ½ cup THC oil (MCT infusion)
  • 2 teaspoons Lecithin powder or liquid
  • 1 teaspoon juice or mold inhibitor 
  • 3 ounces Jello: small box

  • In a small bowl ½ cup juice or water and the unflavored gelatin to bloom.

  • To the top of the double boiler ½ cup THC oil and Lecithin. Bring lower pot to a simmer. Whisk well.

  • To the small saucepan add pack of Jello, ½ cup of juice or water, the mold inhibitor, and the bloomed gelatin. Bring to a boil then add to the top of the double boiler (THC oil, Lecithin mixture), wisk for 10 minutes (very important) or use a immersion blender until well incorporated. 

  • Fill molds, let cool for an hour before removing gummies from molds. 

  • I like to air dry for 10 to 12 hours before putting away in the fridge.  

  • Figuring dosage can be a problem with edibles mostly because of the time delay between consumption and feeling the effect. If you can get a good reading on %THC you can get close with a little math.

  • Find the total THC in the Weed you use to infuse (if you use a Nova or FX the Decarb is close to 100%, oven or other ways Decarb is only about 70%). Infusion with the FX and MCT is about 90% of available THC for first infusion, second pass using the first infusion oil and fresh Weed will infuse ~80% of available THC.

  • This batch of Gummies started with 12g of 27% THC Super Lemon Haze in 12oz of MCT for the first infusion then using the same oil I infused another 12g of the SLH for an expected 5500mg of THC in ½ cup of oil.


If, and it is a big if, my numbers are correct each gummy should have ~100mg of THC. The only way to be sure without sending 'em out to a lab is self titrating, starting slow and then adding a bigger bite as needed.
