How to Infuse CBD Into Gummies
Would you like to infuse a little CBD or THC into some sweets? How about infusing CBD into gummies? How about if I told you that you could make your very own CBD gummies for pain with 1000mg per bag. Would you be interested then? Yummmm I know I would be. Lets dive right in!
Gummies offer an effective way to deliver high-quality CBD at an easy, consistent dosage. Plus, you can easily customize their use according to individual needs by changing up the amount of tincture used. In this article we’ll show how you can infuse store-bought gummies with cannabis oil infused with your own custom ingredients such as flavorings or additional cannabinoids for the perfect treat for yourself or others!
Infusing store-bought gum is one of the easiest and simplest ways to create edibles at home, offering endless combinations of shapes, sizes and flavors – perfect for beginners just starting out cooking with cannabis! For this process, all that’s required are cannabis oil (coconut is most suitable), unflavored gelatin and fruit juice – this can be easily found at most dispensaries or home decarboxylated plant material, while unflavored gelatin is readily available from most grocery stores and fruit juice can come in any color or flavor!
Before beginning your gummy candy baking endeavors, be sure to line your silicone molds with baking sheet or parchment paper linings – this will make transferring them from their pan into the fridge/freezer easier after setting. Furthermore, pre-measuring ingredients so you know how many batches each will yield so you can adjust accordingly and accordingly alter recipes as necessary.
At first, combine the gummy mixture and raw honey in the top pan of a double boiler, and heat gently until all of the honey has been dissolved and the liquid feels warm to touch. Whisk in gelatin until completely dissolved before slowly pouring cannabis oil through a funnel or dropper, using either for accurate measurement. Pour evenly into gummy molds for storage in either your refrigerator or freezer for best results.
Once your gummies have chilled, remove them from their silicone molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge – they should last 2-3 weeks!
Start with a low dosage
If you’re creating these gummies to help with pain or anxiety, we advise starting off with the lowest dosage – 20mg per gummy is typically effective. From there you can add more or less CBD oil or tincture based on individual requirements in future batches.
Contrary to cannabis products containing THC, hemp-derived CBD does not cause the “high” associated with THC-rich cannabis strains. Instead, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system to decrease inflammation and anxiety while stimulating serotonin release for an overall sense of calm.
Check with your doctor
Be mindful when taking any medication – either over-the-counter or prescribed – that CBD may increase levels of certain blood thinning drugs in your system, such as Tylenol(r). When making changes to your regimen, speak to your healthcare provider first before making any adjustments.
