Ingredients for Cannabis Gummies
To begin learning how to make cannabis gummies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cannabis-infused coconut oil (you can make this by infusing coconut oil with decarboxylated cannabis flowers)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 packet of flavored JELL-O
- 1 teaspoon of sunflower lecithin (this helps blend oil and water)
- Optional: citric acid for tartness

Step-by-Step: How to Make Cannabis Gummies
1. Prepare the Oil
Ensure your cannabis-infused coconut oil is ready before you begin making the gummies. The cannabis should be decarboxylated to activate the THC or CBD. You can decarb your cannabis in the oven at 240°F (115°C) for 30-40 minutes before infusing it into coconut oil.
2. Mix the Gelatin and Water
In a saucepan, combine the water and gelatin over low heat. Stir continuously until the gelatin dissolves fully, then add the flavored JELL-O mix. Stir until smooth.
3. Add the Cannabis Oil and Lecithin
Once the mixture is smooth, slowly whisk in your cannabis-infused coconut oil and sunflower lecithin. This ensures even distribution of the cannabinoids throughout the gummies.
4. Pour the Mixture into Molds
Using a dropper or spoon, pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds. Place the molds in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the gummies to set properly.
5. Store and Dose Your Gummies
Once set, pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container. It’s essential to store them in the fridge to maintain freshness. Be sure to label them and store them out of reach of children and pets.
How to Dose Cannabis Gummies
When you learn how to make cannabis gummies, proper dosing is critical. Homemade edibles can be potent, so it’s best to start with a small dose, such as 5-10 mg of THC per gummy, and wait at least 2 hours before consuming more. Always be patient with edibles, as they take longer to kick in compared to smoking or vaping.
Benefits of Making Cannabis Gummies

- Controlled Dosage: Making your gummies allows you to control how much THC or CBD is in each serving.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Cannabis gummies can last several hours, making them ideal for people seeking prolonged relief from pain or anxiety
