Making THC gummies at home is a simple yet cheap way to enjoy edibles. Using store-bought gummies saves time because you don’t have to make them from scratch. Besides, you can also choose how strong you want them to be and even mix in some flavors you like. All you need is a few basic ingredients and tools, and you can turn regular gummies into customized THC gummies.

This guide will walk you through every step of making THC gummies with store-bought candy. We will look at the step-by-step process and will walk you through steps for troubleshooting common issues.

Materials and Ingredients Needed

Selecting the right materials and ingredients is the key to making the best THC gummies.

Store-Bought Gummies: The first and the most important ingredient is a store-bought gummy. You should choose gelatin-based gummies because they melt smoothly and retain their shape and structure. Go for classic gummy bears or worms since they're easy to work with.

THC Infusion Product:  Now that you have bought the gummies, you will need a THC infusion product. The type of THC products you choose will depend on what's available and what you have worked with in the past. THC oil works well with melted gummies because it mixes easily. Tinctures also make a good option because you can adjust the dosage according to your needs. THC distillates are also a good option for those who
want more potent edibles.

Tools and Equipment:  Before making THC gummies you will need the following tools and equipment: 

• A double boiler or a microwave
• A spoon or spatula
• Silicon molds
• A dropper
• An airtight container

Optional Ingredients for THC Infusion: If you want to get creative, you can add optional ingredients like CBD oil or Terpenes to amplify the flavor and provide extra therapeutic benefits. You can mix in food coloring or flavor extracts to make them
exactly like you want.

Preparing the Gummies for THC Infusion

Prepare your ingredients and your workspace before you start infusing gummies with THC. This will help you work with a clear mind without any worry or stress.

• Unwrapping: Start by unwrapping your store-bought gummies and place them in a heatproof bowl. Set up silicon molds that you will need to set your gummies in shape.
  
• Setting up Your Workplace: Organize your tools and ingredients before you start making THC gummies. Keep your double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, THC product, spoon, and molds nearby.
• Calculating THC Dosage: Figure out how much THC you will want in each gummy before you start. To calculate the dosage, check the total THC in your product and divide it by the number of gummies you plan to make.

Step-by-Step Guide to Infusing THC in the Gummies

This process involves melting the gummies and then adding THC products. Following this step-by-step guide will make your gummies turn out perfect.

Step 1:    Melt the Gummies

Place the gummies in a double boiler and heat them over low heat. Stir them constantly to prevent burning and help them melt evenly. If you use a microwave, heat the gummies in short bursts of 10-15 seconds and stir in between

Step 2:    Mix in the THC Product

Once the gummies have melted, you can remove the bowl from the heat. Add your THC product to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to spread the THC evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 3:    Add Optional Ingredients

If you’re adding CBD oil or any flavor extracts, you can mix it in now. Add these ingredients slowly and stir well to combine them.

Step 4:    Pour the mixture into Molds

Use a dropper or spoon to pour the gummy mixture into your silicone molds. Fill each mold evenly. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Step 5:    Setting and Repackaging the Gummies

After infusing THC into the gummies, you need to let them cool and store them properly. Follow the steps below to keep your gummies fresh and safe.

• Cooling and Hardening the Gummies: Let the gummies cool at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. If you want to speed up the process, place the molds in the refrigerator.
• Storing Infused Gummies: Place the gummies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and maintain their potency. Store the container in a cool and dark place because light and heat can affect the potency of THC.

Dosage and Consumption Tips

While making your THC gummies with store-bought gummies, you should also be aware of how much THC you’re consuming per gummy. If you are new to THC gummies you should always start with a low dose.

• Starting with the Right Dose: Begin with 5-10mg of THC per gummy if you’re new to edibles. Eat and wait at least 1-2 hours for the effects of the edibles to kick in.
• Adjusting Dosage for Personal Preferences: If you want stronger or weaker gummies, change the amount of THC you add during the infusion process. Always start small and increase the dosage gradually until you find what works for you.
  

Legal and Safety Considerations

Before making THC gummies, it’s important to check the cannabis laws in your area. Similarly, proper storage and labeling are essential for safety.

• Checking Local Laws:  Cannabis laws vary depending on where you live. Check your local cannabis laws and regulations to ensure you’re allowed to make and possess THC edibles. Some places limit how much THC you can have at one time, so being aware can save you from trouble.
• Safe Storage and Labeling: Store your THC gummies in a safe place where children and pets can’t reach them. Use an airtight container and label it clearly with the dosage. If you share your gummies with others, make sure they know how strong they are to avoid overconsumption.
