For the past few weeks, when I’m not changing diapers or pretending I remember the last time I took a shower, I’ve been exclusively focused on cannabis gummy recipe development (because life is still pre-tty awesome as a stay at home mom who writes about edibles).
I’ve made vegan gummies, anti-anxiety-anti-inflammatory-gut-health gummies, and these amazing paleo gummies.
The verdict is in… gummies are the BEST. edible. EVER.
I’ll be making hard candy and lollipops next week and my verdict has been known to change, but I can’t imagine a homemade edible that is this cute, simple and good for you. I just. can’t. even.
I mean, look at these…
Arggh.. Don’t you just want to eat them?
And yeah… I did put them in a little pot gummy bear smoke sesh, because I’m an adult.
Even though all of the cannabis gummies I made “turned out”, I wanted to start by posting this paleo cannabis gummy because they’re so simple, tasty and (dare I say it?) good for you.
I don’t eat a strict paleo diet, but I love these because they’re a whole food and I can’t imagine a better way to consume cannabis.
I used a berry puree for my base and a little honey for sweetener, but you could definitely use stevia or monk fruit sweetener to cut the sugar down or to make these ketogenic.
You can also substitute the puree and water combo for juice if you want to have a more classic gummy texture or get your sugar high on… but we’ll get to all of that in a minute.
I was barely able to take photos of a few of these before they disappeared. I think one of the reasons these vanished so quickly is that I made them with a very low dose of cannabis tincture.
They tasted fantastic and no one was afraid they would get too high, so testers and family members gravitated back towards the fridge for another gummy every couple of hours or so.
I’ve been micro-dosing almost exclusively for over a year (4 years now) and I think this is a great opportunity to share some more information about it so you can decide if it’s worth a try. If you just want the recipe… scroll on down!
Micro-dosing + Edibles
I was inspired to micro-dose these cannabis gummy bears because of this really good point made by Joe Rogan:
Joe Rogan: “How much should I eat of this pot gummy?”
Budtender: “JUST THE LEG!”
While it’s funny, Mr. Rogan’s commentary rings so true.
As an cannabis educator who writes about edibles, I hear so many stories about people getting feel-like-I’m-gonna-die high from one pot brownie.
I also hear from people who avoid edibles entirely because they never know what the effects will be and hate the feeling of couch lock, paranoia, and/or brain fog.
While a solid dose of cannabinoids is what some people need in order to alleviate their symptoms enough to feel good or as a doctor recommendation, many people have found better results using cannabis using much less than they think they need to.
Micro-dosing is both an art and an understudied science. It’s the best way I’ve found to manage pain in the long term and stay clearheaded without getting anxious, but figuring out your perfect micro-dose takes patience and experimentation.
Instead of eating a whole 10-25 mg edible, many have found that using smaller, more regular doses of 2-5mg, balancing ratios, and incorporating raw/acidic cannabinoids makes this plant medicine… well, much more medicinal.
You can find out more about microdosing, ratios and dosage in this post.
I love making low-dose edibles so I can eat enough infused food to feel satisfied without feeling like I could have a meaningful conversation with a dolphin.
These gummies were mellow enough that I could eat at least three big gummy worms over the course of a few hours and be at full function.
If you’d like to be able to eat more or experiment more with micro-dosing, just cut the amount of tincture you add in half or double the rest of the ingredients.
Making Homemade Cannabis Gummies
I made these gummies using an alcohol based cannabis tincture. You could also substitute a 1/2-1 gram of decarboxylated concentrates or hash if you’d like them stronger. Whatever you use, make sure you calculate the dosage first..
I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m going to experiment using cannabis coconut oil one of these days and I’ll get back to you on whether or not that works. If you’ve tried it, let us know what works in the comments below.
I used this grass fed gelatin from Amazon. The gelatin makes these simple cannabis gummies a power house of protein, collagen and amino acids.
And because I always get asked where these came from, I got this kit by the Modern Gummy and it has lasted me several years of heavy use.
Every time I make cannabis gummies, I do two batches (one with cannabis and one virgin one) and that fills the entire kit. One of these recipes would probably fill two of these gummy bear molds.
But if I could only have one mold, I’d get these cannabis gummies. They each contain a tablespoon which makes them easy to dose. They’re also cute and you’ll know they have something special in them, which can make life easier.
Paleo Berry Cannabis Gummies
In a saucepan, combine the following ingredients over medium-low heat:
2/3 Cup Pureed Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries or Blueberries (if using frozen berries, let them thaw first) [If you have juice and you’d rather use that than the pureed berries, go for it! Just increase the Gelatin by about 1/2 Tablespoon]
1/3 Cup Water
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup or other sweetener)
Add:
2-3 tsp Cannabis Tincture (depending on dosage)
Slowly whisk in:
3 Tablespoons Grass Fed Gelatin
Keep whisking until smooth and all ingredients are incorporated. Turn off heat. Using a dropper, fill your silicon mold with your gummy mixture (you could also a pan lined with parchment paper if you’re in a pinch).
Allow to cool for about 15-30 minutes in the fridge.
Much love,
Corinne

Vegan version with agar agar??
It’s coming 😉
Hi Corinne,
Great info! Thank you!!
I am making gummies with a an Everclear tincture but I want to add Soy Lecithin too but I don’t know how much to use and at what point in the recipe… using 1 oz weed. Any suggestions PLEASE???
Thank you,
Chrissy
Thank you so much for this. I love these gummies. I made a batch of the jello gummies and these, and my partner and I both loved these gummies the best
Thanks for sharing all these great recipes. I have done hard candies and love those so am looking forward to trying these. I tend to lean towards concentrated cannibus oil for cooking as the compassion center where I get my medicine from recommends that for cooking. Have you cooked with that before and what are you thoughts (pros/cons) on it?
Thank you sooo much! This is amazing. It is exactly what I was looking for to create my micro-dose gummies. I am interested in creating a more calculated dosing method to make this drug more easily accessible to the public! I think your blog is amazing and can help a lot of people. Thanks again!
I can’t wait to try these
Great recipe! I can’t wait to try more variations with different flavored juices.
Have been using cannibus gummies of late..they work like crazy medicine!!
Gonna try to make them now..for sure.
Yum yum! I can’t wait to try it out with my Lego molds
yummy gummy in my tummy! 😀 thanks for sharing!
btw, that rogan bit is hilarious ;D you’ve seen the rest, right?
I wonder if it’s possible to eat a couple of these throughout the day if you treat them like alcohol. Drink water and eating, hmmm. Recipes ??
Crossing my fingers for a juicer for Christmas for fresh super green gummies <3 !
I am hoping to be able to make medecine like this
My patients have been asking about these. A must try!
I am going to try this recipe using home made coconut canna oil I made. Have you tried that? If so how did it go?
Hi Mike! I haven’t tried it. I would LOVE to know how it goes. Keep me posted 🙂
Hello Mike, have you tested with Canna oil yet? if so, how did they come out?
Did you try the recipe out with Canna coconut oil yet Mike?
Have you tried a version with either a vegetable glycerine tincture or infused MCT coconut oil made in the MagicalButter machine? I’m curious how the potency of the gummies would compare to using an alcohol tincture.
I haven’t yet but it’s on my to do now 😉 I wonder if the MCT oil would change the consistency of the gummies… Let me know if you get to either of these first and tell me how it goes.
Thanks for reaching out!
Much love,
Corinne
I’ve been using the CO for gummies for a few months now and what I can tell you is, they do melt quickly and if left at room temperature for more than 3 days will mold. Also whisk the crap out of it to incorporate or else it will seperate in the fridge.
Hi, I just made some gummies for the first time and I used cannabis infused mct oil in them and they don’t seem to have separated at all in the fridge. I did use 1/2 teaspoon of lecithin in the mix and 2 tablespoons of the oil and used my straight mixer to blend while still on the heat to make sure it was incorporated evenly. I’ve had 3 over the last 7 hours and have a really nice buzz.
Pingback: Quick + Easy Vegan Cannabis Gummies with Fruit Juice and Agar | Wake & Bake
You seem very inspirational and motivating. Thank you so much for this easy step by step process. Was wondering if i can infuse the honey and coconut oil before? Knowing that the water will want to keep seperate from the oil. Will be testing this As Soon As i get some molds. Sounds very delicious. Thank you so much.
Vegetable glycerine combines water and oil so it will not separate. Add it to your mix and voila!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I have a gram of decarbed concentrate in a syringe, could I replace the tincture with the whole gram?
I tried this recipe about a week ago and it was awesome! Instead of tincture, we had a gram of THC distillate that we used. It was pretty good, but the oil kept trying to separate from the rest of it. So the consistency of the dosage throughout the batch seems to vary
Vegetable glycerine combines water and oil so it will not separate. Add it to your mix and voila!
Hey Corinne!
Just was curios how much this recipe would make? Just ordered gummy bear molds! Thank you!! I am so happy I stumbled apon your website!
Using the Mb2 i made a vg tincture with 2 ounces of flower yielding about 1 1/2 cups. Would i be able to use that tincture for this recipe? and would adding soy lecithin help in increasing the effects?
How do you store these and how long do they keep? TIA…

I’ve never used cannabis, but I stumbled across this recipe trying to find a gummy recipe. So good! This is my new favorite gummy recipe! We are adding my echinacea/elderberry tincture to it to help kick a cold. This is the only way my toddler will take her tincture, it’s pretty strong tasting. This recipe covers it perfectly. I have a double batch on the stove right now. We use grape juice.
I am curious of the storage and shelf life as well
Keep in the fridge in a glass canning jar they last forever unless you eat them right away!
Great recipe…can’t wait to try it! Just wondering what the THC percentage is of your marijuana before decarboxylation? Thanks:)
Pingback: A Paleo Cannabis Gummy Recipe… because you should probably never have to grow … | Pacific Beach Marijuana
GREAT information! I have been experimenting with different candies and trying to get the “right” gummy bear consistency. The question I have is : How do you store gummies?
I tried to store them in the refrigerator in a sealed plastic container…Well all the sudden I noticed a liquid on the bottom of the container, like they were melting or something. I got them out and laid them on a paper towel to dry, but now I have hard rubber band texture gummies. I am not about to throw them away because I dont want to waste them, however they are NASTY! I don’t eat them very fast so I need to find a way to store them for longer lasting. What is your advise?
Just delicious! Now I’m making them for all my friends.
I just purchased the Ardent Lift using you discount. Thanks for that! I can’t wait to use it. Next on my list is the Magical Butter Machine. I am going to make these!
hi! if i wanted to make these with hash how would i go about it?
and your posts actually make me lol
thanks!

I would Decarb that hash and add it to the mixture while it’s still warm… if it were me 😉

A lot of people are wondering if you can use canna coconut oil which is what I used and it did seperate in the fridge but it was still so good…I live in a state where it is illegal so I have to make my own and I just started using the Mighty Fast diffuser, I’m guessing it’s similar to the magic butter machine…I’m going to try using vegetable glycerin next time because I would for it not to seperate when I put it in the fridge…I would post a picture if I could…but they taste great, they aren’t super strong so I’m going to use more herb next time for my oil.
Citrus is a possible migraine trigger. Do you know what would happen if I left out the 1T of lemon juice? Thoughts on a substitution? Thanks
Hi Corinne,
Am I ok to substitute Cannabis Tincture with a cannabis oil extract ? I’m not sure the difference between the two. The carrier oil is a coconut oil.
I purchased this oil extract from Tilray. “Our Hybrid Drops are an oil extract suitable for oral ingestion and/or for use in food products. Drops come in a 25 mL bottle, and include a 1 mL dropper to assist with dosing
Each mL contains approximately 15.0 mg total THC & 0.0 mg total CBD. Each bottle contains approximately 375.0 mg total THC & 0.0 mg total CBD – THC & CBD levels vary by lot
For the purposes of calculating monthly allotment only, each Drops bottle is equivalent to 7 grams of whole flower (Equivalency: 3.6mL = 1g dried cannabis)”
Also, if I am able to use the oil extract and follow the rest of your recipe, how many ml do you suggest adding?
Thanks!
Additional to my previous comment, pretty sure I figured out the math if I am able to use the cannabis oil extract. I think if I wanted 5mg thc in each gummy, I would use 16.32ml for the mixture and if I wanted 10mg in each gummy, I would use 32.16ml?
Thank you for all of the great information and recipes! Im wondering can you use regular gelatin, like jello gelatin?
Hi, did you ever try these with jello gelatin?
Hi Lenese!
Never have, but these are so simple that I make them several times a week. let me know if you use jello and how it goes 🙂
Much love,
Corinne
If Im using a (very strong) VG tincture, should I still add sweetner or should the sugar from the berry puree combined with the sweetness in the VG tincture be enough?
How many gummy trays does this recipe make
how long is the shelf life for the gummy bears
in the fridge, they’re good for at least a week, but they’ve never lasted longer than that here, so I’m not completely sure 😉
I’d like to add a comment as a runner who has suddenly developed IBS-like symptoms and who is getting treatment, but still has a marathon coming up. Sadly, they don’t condone a “weed break” on marathons so I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to handle dosing. I do actually sometimes run with a joint when I’m having a bad day and I need to get my run on. One of the benefits of micro-dosing, I am finding, is that I can run and not “run” if you catch my drift, and I think you do. It’s not a matter of wanting to get an artificial runner’s high but wanting to keep my digestive system at a steady state, which I can.
I live with chronic daily migraine and discovered the magic of cannabis for treating that and thus for treating this awesome new development 😉 because of that. Running has always been my go-to treatment for the head pain and my mental health treatment too, so when I started developing this digestive situation which is so much more than “Dang, I have a tummy ache” but resulted in an almost 20 pound weight loss in 3 months (I look great, but feel horrible), and included inability to absorb nutrients, and not being able to run I finally decided I needed to take back my life. I am working with doctors, but also been working on my own “gels” or gummies to fuel my runs. I think I’m going to do with some ginger, turmeric, and pepper base because they are anti-inflammatory and follow your recipe for the amounts! Thanks!
Thanks for your comments. Let us know how they turn out!
I am super impressed you can keep up your running despite chronic migraine. It’s a trigger for me. I haven’t found a way to use cannabis yet to manage my chronic daily migraine. Any tips? Are we allowed to share that here? (I also have IBS.)
I make gummies with jello, juice, honey, water, coconut oil (infused of course) giggle…they are soooo delish! I store them in freezer and they last forever! Well…I guess they would if I didn’t eat them-lol
Hello Would you mind sharing the proportions of your recipe? Thanks
yes, i too would like to know how to incorporate the coconut oil in the yummies!
Hi there! I use infused coconut oil in my gummy recipe, but it probably isnt Paleo.
1 packet of jello
4 1/2 packets unflavored gelatin, such as knox or something similar
1 cup of very cold water
1/4 cup infused coconut oil (made with sunflower lecithin)
1/4-1/2 tsp lorann flavoring extracts/oil
1/4-1/2 tsp loranns mold inhibitor
The sunflower lecithin helps to get everything all mixed in without separating, its an emulsifier. Soy Lecithin can be used but its a common allergen and can cause stomach upset in large doses for some people. It helps the oil to absorb and spread out, but it also helps to get the affects of the medicine faster. I also let them ‘dry out’ for a few days on a baking sheet.
I made these with fresh organic ginger made into a simple syrup with organic sugar. I didn’t add other sweetener and no lemon juice. My goal was a fuel to run with (as stated above). I haven’t tested them running, but they turned out gorgeous and taste amazing.
I will be testing them tomorrow on a run to see how they go!
I am new at this and using the calculator it came up with 14 tsp. of tincture to create 10.5 mg per gummy. Your recipe says 2-3 tsp. I want something that helps me sleep and works with physical pain and want to use product I grow. I am doing the green dragon tincture. Does anyone else have experience and know if more tsps. are necessary?
What kind of tincture did you use? mine is the green dragon tincture made with everclear. Can i use this tincture? If so how is it used?
i have tried to make these can you please help me my ones keep turning out like jelly not like sweets more like jelly an ice cream if you get me haha can you please tell me where i am going wrong
Can these be made with cbd oil? I use hempworx.
Absolutely! Good luck!
Has anyone experimented making this with canna coconut oil instead of tincture? I’ve never made tincture before but will be making the canna coconut oil today
How did this work out for you?
Hi!
i cannot WAIT to make these! how many mg of thc per bear?
how would i calculate how strong my tincture is?
Thanks! 🙂
We recommend using a tCheck if you really want an accurate potency. Otherwise you can use the Dosage Calculator at the top of the page.
So I made a green dragon tincture as well as Honey infusion (both made with trim).. I plan to use both in this recipe. My question is how strong are your gummies? Using the dosage calculator (with plant material set at 15% thc) the tincture is atound 37mg thc per teaspoon and the honey is 34mg thc per teaspoon. When I calculate the recipe for gummies im at 3.2mg thc per serving (honey) & 3.5mg thc per serving (tincture) if i add that up im at 6.7mg thc per gummy. Does that sound accurate? Can I add more of either to make a stronger gummy without affecting the overall outcome of the gummies?
Also my tincture has been steeping for two weeks and it’s not nearly as dark as yours. Mine looks lime green when i suck it into a dropper. So I haven’t strained it yet in order to hopefully keep getting stronger. Does it matter that I used trim? Will it get to that deep green color at some point?
Sorry for the abundance of questions but I wanna get this right!
How did yours turn out? I’ve been trying to figure out dosage myself. I don’t want to micro dose I just want a regular recreational dose, but I’m having a really hard time tracking down that kind of info. Specifically how many tsp I should use.
My molds came out runny… what did I do wrong? Thanks
I followed the recipe and the gummies never firmed up. What did I do wrong. We tried several times but each time they were too “wet”
I used this recipe today for the first time, and substituted infused coconut oil…It worked out perfectly! I used the same amount of coconut oil as tincture. I made two batches, one using fruit juice (Cherry) and the other using brewed tea (Sport Tea). Both batches came out without any separation, I think the key here is letting the gelatine “bloom”. I actually made an error and only used 3tbsp instead of the suggested 3.5 for juice….still turned out great…not sure what I would lose or gain with the additional .5 of gelatine.
Hi ?, mine come out wonderful , but how
Do you keep them from Molding ?? HELP !!
I just started using cbd gummies and the result has been amazing, all pains gone!
I made canna gummies with everclear tincture and no sugar jello rcipe firmed up nicely I put them in the freezer to store and when i checked them oh 24 hrs later there were ice crystals in the bags (150) gummies I let them dry on a towel and they dehydrated to 1/10 their size and dried up I took two of the tiny litlle suckers and was wasted all day what I am guessing is that the everclear and water evaporated and left the thc in the gummies my main concern is long term storage i think i will try a vacuum seal next time
Hi Mikey, Have you tried storing your gummies in a vacuum seal yet? I like to know if they keep their shape and don’t just smush all together. Thanks in advance Magrock
I was thinking of putting one drop of tincture in each gummy bear while they are in the mold…that way I would know how much is in each one
Can this recipe turn into fruit roll ups?
Thanks for this nice post on cbd gummies, I like cbd gummies because of its amazing health benefits and it;s completely non-psychoactive
Do you have a vegan cannabis coconut oil gummy bear recipe?
i have been trying to incorporate the oil but it just doesnt seem to bind, any ideas?
thanks!
Unfortunately Oil and Agar Agar aren’t friends 🙁 You can try using tinctures, evaporated tinctures or concentrates to make gummies instead 🙂
Much love,
Corinne
You can use pectin instead, its much firmer than agar and not so wet.
Thanks for this post on cbd gummies, Can I use this for my dogs?
This was so informative. I’m very new to this but suffer from chronic nerve pain and I want to get completely away from the smoking aspect. Can I make a tincture using the magical baking box? Just the box for now since it’s pretty cheap, I was hoping this would work while I figure things out just wondering if a tincture was possible in it and how? Thanks for anything! Great site.
Did you ever try using coconut oil instead of tincture?
Can I use Cannabutter for this recipe?
Hi Corrine! With your recipe and the modern gummy bear molds , how many trays will this fill? How many milligrams of THC will be in each bear? Thanks!
Thanks for this great post on cbd gummies, very informative!
Your post is really making me to like cbd gummies. Very informative!
How long do you leave it on the heat? It doesn’t say whether to bring it to a boil, oo how to determine when it’s ready to put into the molds.
Heat for about 15 20 minutes on a double boiler at full boil, i have had 0 problems like this.
Heat for about 15 20 minutes on a double boiler at full boil, i have had 0 problems like this. Another tip for gummy candy is to whisk until the gelatin will no longer seperate or rest from the solution. You will get a better feel each time you make some.
Hi Corinne, I am also new to this. I recently purchased the nova through your website and was happy with the ease of the process. I am currently infusing coconut oil using your recipe, however, my slow cooker only has two settings, high and low. After 4 hours on low, I checked the temp of the mix and it was 250f. Yikes, Much hotter than you recommend. I unplugged it and am letting it cool. Should I have left the cover off? I know I should purchase the magic butter machine but I’m a retired lady who is on a budget. Maybe in the future though. Did I ruin my good buds>
Hi! Did you use the magical butter machine for your tincture? Did you use their tincture recipe or did you use the concentrate oil? As im, the 2-3 tsp is the tincture or oil concentrate?
Has anyone substituted the grass fed gelatos for vegetable gelatos (powder)? If so is it still 3tbsp? And what about jello mix?
Hey Corrine, I was recently diagnosed with Candida 🙁 I read that you have made anti inflammatory and gut healing gummies so I would love the recipe if you can!!!! I’m bummed I’m having to completey change my eating habits, esp bc I have a sweet tooth so that would be a cool way to still indulge my cravings while also dosing. Thank you so much!!!!
Did you get to the coconut oil version?
Am looking.
Thanks
Hi and thank you. I’m an older woman who smoked pot back in college in the 70’s but quit when life got busier with work and kids. Two years ago when it became legal, I decided I’d give growing a try. Why not? I of course grew more than my husband and I as well as friends etc could smoke so I’ve followed many or your recipes. Love the coconut oil butter, mix it with bittersweet chocolate for a delicious treat. I didn’t have as much success with gummies. I never thought about the fact that they would get moldy if not consumed rather quickly. I threw out a large bag yesterday so personally, I’ll stick with the chocolate which I keep in the freezer. Thanks for all of your knowledge!
I went theought the comments trying to find out how many gummies the recipe makes and couldnt find it. Here is my results:
1 recipe makes 205 gummies if you use the amazon bear molds (53 on a sheet 5 sheets in a box comes with the eyedroper for each)
I like that gummy size (1cm x 2cm) as it makes about a 1mg THC gummy for the weed I used.
Hey Corinne,
I found you AFTER I tried the coconut oil version. All those people must be full of BS because we all learned in grade school that OIL does NOT mix with WATER (or juice). I’m pretty scientific and a decent cook. I don’t recommend that other method, but after reading just a bit on your site, I’m pretty sure that an alcohol based tincture will work so much better. I’ll let you know…
Dave in PA
I’m wondering if you have any guidance on dosage. I’m interested in making gummies for recreational use not micro dosing, but I’m having a really hard time finding anything about how many tsp I should use to get a certain number of mg per gummy. I realize that it depends on the product you start with the make the tincture, but even a ballpark would be helpful.
Hi Sarah, I just made some today for the first time and I used 2 Tablespoons of my MCT Oil that had been soaking with buds after having been decarbed then heated for 18 hours at 170 degrees. I strain some out as needed to use. I think these are a good dose for me anyway. Not sure of what the dose is because this is from cannabis my husband grew last summer and we don’t have the money to get it’s strength tested. So try 2 Tablespoons on your first batch if not strong enough try 3 in your second batch and see if that’s what you are looking for. I had 1 this afternoon when they were set and then after dinner I was putting them in a baggie and decided to have another one and then around 10 I got another one, I have an awesome buzz right now it’s 11:45. Good health and good luck.

Storage ? Anybody have a good that worked??? Otherwise I am going to vac pack them into mason jars, like everything else cannibis I make…anybody have another suggestion??? Thank You 🙂
If you use coconut oil be sure to purify it first and have some help strirring and maybe lecithin to keep it suspended.
I’m wondering if anyone has a recipe for gummies using infused coconut oil.
Think I can replace the gelatin with pectin?
Hello Corinne!
Awesome recipe! Before I attempt making gummy anything – do you use oil based tincture or alcohol based tincture? Thanks so much for all the love you bring to the world!
I’ve still only ever used alcohol and concentrates. If you try oil, post your results here 🙂
Hello
I use soy lecithin soaked in fruit juice in a weed infused coconut oil gummy recipe. The lecithin stops the oil/juice separation when the gummies set. Without lecithin there are 2 distinct layers in each gummy.
I also use my infused strained weed leftovers from infused oil making in cookies/brownie/muffin recipes.
The infused weed/oil mixture is placed into a kitchen sieve and left to drain. I don’t try and squeeze every drop of oil out. 1 cup of oil to start, 3/4 cup infused oil is what is usually strained off, with very few solids. I use an Ardent to infuse 1 cup coconut oil with 1 oz of my homegrown.
I base all my dosing on15% THC. With your calculator and my guessing, my gummies seem to average 50 mg THC per each. I’m basing that on the effects of 50 mg candies purchased from a retailer. The effects of my homemade ones are very similar to store bought 50 mg candies. I use the mj leaf molds purchased from Amazon.
I’ll make a recipe only post.
My gummies aren’t setting – is there something I did wrong? I used mango nectar and Agar Agar powder. I also used about a tsp of coconut oil with the rosin. They are just applesauce consistency….
Geez Mike it’s been almost 4 years…Have you tried making them with canna coconut oil yet? I’m trying today!
The biggest key to edibles is the decarboxylation of your weed first! You won’t activate the THC enough without it and waste your bud! Then I infused the coconut oil and made the gummies last night. I used an 1/8 of Rainbow trainwreck. Based on an infusion of 81% for coconut oil ( just google oil infusion for THC ) I got about 3 grams THC per small gummy with the molds I got on Amazon. They are awesome, nice mellow buzz and very relaxing and happy feeling. I am goin got try olive oil next time as it has a higher percentage of THC infusion.I am decarbing using the Ardent Lift Decarboxylator. I have only had it for 3 days and I am an edible making Machine! Making butter now and some Snickerdoodles with Jack Herer Strain are for dinner ?
I hope we mentioned decarb in this post! If not, I need to update this. Thanks for sharing!!
Forgot to mention, with the small Bear ? size molds I bought. I got about 180 gummies. Way cheaper and more potent than store bought! That was with 1/8 medical cannabis and it had the mg of THC on the label. I am trying to stop smoking and only do edibles. So far so good ?
I’ve made 30 batches of gummies using lecithin and mold inhibitor.
I’ve made gummies with nectar before and had the same problem. I think I had to double the amount of gelling agent; something is messing with the setting process. You also might need to boil the nectar to break down enzymes (I know pineapple juice/nectar must be boiled first in order to set).
Hi Corinne! Love this recipe. I really want to try it. Does it work with an oil tincture? Thank you!
I had your infused honey on hand so that’s what I used for the honey in your gummy bear recipe (in place of the tincture) they are delicious and a good way to micro dose.
OMG, Denise that’s a great idea!!!
Hi Nancy, wondering what hard candy recipe you use? I tried to make hard candy but it was too grainy texture.
How many gummies does this make if I use the smaller 50/sheet mold?
Hi Bill!
Maddie here (Corinne’s assistant)
In this post, Corinne says that this recipe will probably fill two of the larger molds, and those have 63 cavities in each. I’m not sure how much this would fill a 50 cavity mold.
If you’re wanting to find out potency, just make sure to use the dosage calculator and plug in the amount of servings you’ll have. You can do that HERE

what is that hotplate or saute pan I see in the photo with the Magical Butter machine? I don’t see that device for sale anywhere?
Render down your everclear tincture as far as you can. (do not do this over an open flame – VERY dangerous). Create your no-sugar jello recipe – or use 4 Tbs of gelatin with 1 cup juice concentrate (i use tart cherry or black cherry). Once your gelatin blossoms, heat it up to 140-160 degrees F. When it is smooth consistency – add your tincture. Continue at that heat until the alcohol smell is almost gone. (constantly mixing). Once the alcohol smell is gone – turn off the heat and decant the mixture into your molds. I create a soft crack mixture of 1 cup karo and 1 cup coconut sugar which adds to the “gummy” consistency and sweetens them up. I’m making CBG, CBD and THC gummies for all my friends. Using alcohol tincture works the best for me as you can accurately define your dosage and either dose up or microdose.
tincture is really easy. Decarb your flower (CBD, CBG, THC) and then put it in the freezer overnight. An ounce fits well in a 16 oz mason jar. Let it cool for 24 hours and then cover your decarb’d flower with 195 proof or higher alcohol (everclear or you can get Kosher alcohol online pretty cost effectively) Make sure your alcohol has been in the freezer also. Let them sit for 24+ hours then strain the alcohol through a coffee filter. You should get a green or golden liquid that will make awesome gummies. Make sure you check your dosing.
Have you tried the gummies using cannabis coconut oil yet?
Hey Karen,
We have tried, but have yet to have perfected a recipe that isn’t super oily :/
Do you think arrowroot powder would work in place of the soy lethictin?
Hmmm… That’s a great question!
I’m not sure though, maybe you can give it a try and let us know!

Great recipe, when boiling the mixture do you have to get up to a certain temp like with hard candies? Or just a steady boil? Thanks a bunch for all the great content.
Just a little bubbling should be just fine 🙂
With love,
