Whether you use tinctures, oil, or cannabis-infused coconut oil, homemade gummies are customizable and delicious.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Basic THC Gummy Ingredients:
- ½ cup cannabis-infused oil or tincture (THC distillate or coconut oil works best)
- ½ cup water or juice (for flavor)
- ½ cup light corn syrup or honey
- 1 oz (about 2 tbsp) unflavored gelatin
- 1 box (3 oz) flavored gelatin (e.g., Jell-O)
- Optional: cannabis terpenes, vitamin C, or CBD oil
- Gummy molds (silicone works best)
- A dropper or squeeze bottle
Step-by-Step Recipe to Make THC Gummies
Step 1: Prep the Mold
Clean and lightly oil your silicone gummy molds. Place them on a flat tray for easy transport.
Step 2: Combine Liquids
In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together the water or juice and the corn syrup. Stir until fully mixed.
Step 3: Add Gelatin
Slowly sprinkle in the unflavored gelatin and flavored gelatin while stirring constantly. Avoid clumps.
Step 4: Add THC Oil
Remove the pan from heat. Stir in your THC tincture or oil thoroughly. Mix well so the THC is evenly distributed.
Step 5: Fill the Molds
Use a dropper or squeeze bottle to carefully fill your gummy molds.
Step 6: Set the Gummies
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator. Let the gummies set for 1–2 hours or until firm.
Step 7: Unmold & Store
Pop the gummies out and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 weeks.
THC Gummy Dosing Tips
How to calculate potency:
If your oil has 1000mg THC total and you make 50 gummies:
- 1000mg ÷ 50 = 20mg THC per gummy
Start with 2.5–5mg per gummy if you’re new. You can always eat more—but you can’t uneat a strong edible!
Pro Tips for Better Gummies
- Stir constantly to avoid lumps or THC separation
- Use lecithin (sunflower or soy) as an emulsifier for better texture and consistency
- Avoid boiling — high heat can destroy THC
- Add citric acid or vitamin C for a sour twist and longer shelf life
- Label your edibles clearly — keep out of reach of kids and pets
Is It Legal to Make THC Gummies at Home?
That depends on where you live. In many U.S. states with legal cannabis, it’s allowed for personal use. However:
- You may need to grow your own cannabis or purchase legally
- It’s illegal to sell THC gummies without a license
- Always check your local cannabis laws
