THC-Extraction/Infusion Process
*Understand This Clearly*
This most time-consuming process when making organic THC gummies from home is extracting the cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc) from cannabis flowers and then, infusing the THC-extract into a butter or fatty-rich oil.
Should you do this process yourself?
See below and weigh your options before you make your decision.
BENEFITS
1.
Doing the THC-extraction/infusion process yourself will allow you to have more control on how strong your THC gummies will be.
2.
You'll learn a new skill that will allow you to create as many different types of THC edibles as you can imagine.
DOWNFALLS
1.
This process can take a few hours to complete and it's the most difficult part of this entire recipe.
2.
If you accidentally do this process wrong, you'll lose all of your precious cannabis flower; costly mistake.
Cannabinoid Extraction
If you decide to do it yourself, there are economical household tools and machines that you can buy and use to automate the THC-extraction and infusion process.
Visit the link below for instructions and for the machinery/tools available to buy online that are needed.
CANNABUTTER
If you don't care to go through the THC extraction process, the easiest solution is to buy a federally legal hemp-derived Cannabutter or a THC-infused oil online.
Visit the link below for instructions on making cannabutter from home and for links to trustworthy online retailers where you can buy cannabutter online.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic fruit juice of your choice
- 1/2 Cup of a THC-Infused MCT oil
(You may substitute the MCT oil with cannabutter or coconut oil) - 1/4 cup organic agave nectar (Sweetener)
- 3 tablespoons of organic agar powder (replaces unflavored gelatin)
- 3 Tablespoons of Organic Fruit Pectin (replaces flavored gelatin)
- 2 Teaspoons of Organic soy lecithin or sunflower lecithin (Emulsifier)*
- 1 teaspoon of organic lemon juice (Food Preservative)
(You may substitute for 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid or Pure Potassium Sorbate (Mold Inhibitor)
__________________________________________
BONUS: If you want to make organic Sour THC gummies, use 3 teaspoons of Citric acid for this recipe.
*Emulsifier: The purpose for using an “emulsifier” is that Cannabis oils don’t bind well with juice and water-based ingredients. Using an emulsifier will allow the whole ingredient mixture to mix and combine beautifully resulting in the gummy texture and consistency we all know and love to eat.
Kitchen Appliances, Tools, & How To Use Them
1. Small saucepan
Use a small saucepan for cooking the mixture for your THC gummies. Ensure the saucepan is made from safe stainless steel, ceramic, or glass. Avoid using aluminum or non-stick cookware, as these materials can react with acidic ingredients like citric acid.
2. Whisk
Use a whisk to combine the ingredients and prevent any clumps from forming. Ensure the whisk is made from a safe stainless steel or silicone material.
3. Silicone Gummy molds
Available in various shapes and sizes, choose a mold made from a safe material such as silicone, which is easy to clean and reusable. Gummy molds are where you’ll pour your gummy mixture in and the tool that “molds” the gummy into the shape of your choosing.
4. Measuring cups and spoons
Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure that you use the correct ingredients. Ensure the measuring cups and spoons are made from a safe stainless steel or silicone material.
5. Spatula
Use a spatula to scrape the mixture from the saucepan and into the molds, and remove the gummies once they are set. Ensure that the spatula is made from a safe material such as silicone or stainless steel and that it is clean and dry before use.
6. Candy Thermometer (Optional)
Are you ready to make your first batch of weed gummies?
Instructions (Step-By-Step)
Step 1
Prepare your ingredients and kitchen tools. Ensure you have all the ingredients ready and measured before cooking. You will also need a small saucepan, whisk, gummy molds, measuring cups and spoons, and a spatula.
Step 2
Combine the organic fruit juice and agar powder in the saucepan. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients until the agar agar powder is fully dissolved. Make sure that there are no clumps of powder in the mixture.
Step 3
Turn the heat to low and add the organic agave nectar and citric acid to the saucepan. Whisk the mixture together to combine the ingredients.
Step 4
Keep whisking the mixture until it comes to a gentle boil. If you have one already or you decided to buy a Candy Thermometer, you can use it now to ensure that your organic THC Gummy mixture reaches 190°F (88°C).
Step 5
Once it reaches a gentle boil, cook for 2-3 minutes. Make sure to whisk continuously during this time to prevent the mixture from burning or sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the organic THC distillate. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the distillate is fully incorporated and there are no bubbles in the mix; you want it nice and smooth.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into gummy molds. Make sure to pour slowly and carefully to prevent any spills. Use a spatula to scrape the mixture from the saucepan and carefully pour it into the molds.
Step 8
Place the gummy molds in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set. Ensure the molds are on a flat surface in the refrigerator to prevent any spills.
Step 9
Once the gummies are set, remove them from the molds using a spatula. Make sure to gently wiggle the molds to loosen the gummies before removing them.
Step 10
Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to label the container so that you know what’s inside.
Customize & Supercharge: Make Your Organic THC-Infused Gummies Even Healthier!
Add more organic superfoods and supplements to the mixture before pouring it into the gummy molds. Here are some optional all-natural ingredient ideas you could consider:
Chia Seeds
A great source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. They can also help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. To add chia seeds to your THC gummies, mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds after step 4, and whisk well to combine.
Hemp Hearts
Rich in protein, fiber, and essential fatty acids. They can also help to reduce inflammation and improve heart health. To add hemp hearts to your THC gummies, mix 1 tablespoon after step 4 and whisk well to combine.
Acai Powder
High in antioxidants, which can help to protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is also rich in fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. To add acai powder to your THC gummies, mix 1 teaspoon of acai powder into the mixture after step 4 and whisk well to combine.
Vitamin C
An essential nutrient that can help boost your immune system, improve skin health, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. To add vitamin C to your THC gummies, mix 1/2 teaspoon of organic vitamin C powder into the mixture after step 4, and whisk well to combine.
Turmeric
A spice containing a compound called curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. To add turmeric to your THC gummies, mix 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder into the mixture after step 4, and whisk well to combine.
Lion’s Main Liquid Extract (Functional Mushroom)
Functional mushroom extracts = brain food! Functional mushrooms provide various health benefits, including immune system support, improved cognitive function, and reduced inflammation. Incorporating a liquid extract of functional mushrooms into your organic THC gummies recipe could be a great way to boost their nutritional value and potential health benefits.
These are just a few examples of how you can enrich and supercharge your organic THC gummies recipe to make it even healthier. Just have fun and experiment with different superfoods and supplements to find your favorite combination!
A PRO-GUMMY-MAKING TIP!
The same mistake you can make with an entire batch, you can also make by trying it out with a handful of gummies. Don’t waste all your precious THC extract or cannabutter when experimenting!
Stay Safe: Best Practices For First Timers
Follow the recipe carefully: When making THC gummies, it’s important to follow the recipe carefully to ensure you get the correct ratios and timing. Don’t try to modify the recipe or skip any steps, as this can affect the quality and safety of your gummies.
Use high-quality ingredients: To ensure that your THC gummies are safe and healthy, use high-quality organic ingredients. Avoid using any ingredients that contain additives, preservatives, or other chemicals.
Use a candy thermometer: If you’re not experienced with cooking candies or gummies, it’s a good idea to use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the correct temperature. This will help to prevent burning or overcooking the mixture, which can affect the texture and taste of the gummies.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby: While it’s unlikely that a fire will break out when making THC gummies, it’s always a good idea to keep a fire extinguisher nearby, just in case. Make sure that you know how to use it properly.
Store THC products securely: Keep THC distillate and other cannabis products away from children and pets.
Start with a low dose: If you’re new to THC gummies or cannabis in general, it’s important to start with a low dose and work your way up gradually. THC affects everyone differently, so knowing your tolerance and limiting your consumption is important.
Label your products: Once you’ve made your THC gummies, label them clearly so that you know what’s inside. If you share them with others, tell them they contain THC and advise them to start with a low dose.
Clean up thoroughly: When you’re finished making your THC gummies, clean up thoroughly to avoid any accidental ingestion or contamination. Wash your hands and any utensils or surfaces that came into contact with the THC distillate or gummy mixture.
Store THC gummies in a cool, dry place: THC gummies can melt or lose potency when exposed to heat, moisture, or light. Store your gummies in a cool, dry place to ensure that they stay fresh and effective.
Use child-resistant packaging: Once your THC gummies are ready, store them in child-resistant packaging to prevent accidental ingestion by children or pets.
Don’t drive or operate heavy machinery after consuming THC gummies: THC can impair your judgment and reaction time, so avoiding driving or operating heavy machinery after consuming THC gummies is important. Wait until the effects have worn off before doing anything that requires focus and attention.
Consult a doctor if you have any medical conditions: If you have any medical conditions or are taking any medications, it’s important to consult a doctor before consuming THC gummies. THC can interact with certain medications and medical conditions, so it is important to know if it is safe to consume.
Here are a few additional tips and tricks that You might find helpful:
Use organic fruit juice: To give your THC gummies a delicious fruity flavor, use organic fruit juice instead of artificial flavorings. Choose a juice that complements the flavor of the THC distillate, such as orange juice, apple juice, or grape juice.
Experiment with different molds: While silicone candy molds are the most popular option for making THC gummies, you can also experiment with other types of molds to create unique shapes and designs. To create different shapes and sizes, try using silicone ice cube trays, mini muffin tins, or even gummy bear molds.
Add a touch of salt: A small amount of sea salt can help to enhance the flavor of your THC gummies and balance out the sweetness. Add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture after step 4, and whisk well to combine.
Infuse with other herbs and spices: Besides the superfoods and supplements mentioned earlier, you can infuse your THC gummies with other herbs and spices to add flavor and health benefits. For example, add ginger powder for digestive support, cinnamon for blood sugar control, or lavender for relaxation.
Store gummies in the freezer for long-term storage: While THC gummies can last for several weeks at room temperature, you can also store them in the freezer for longer-term storage. Simply place the gummies in an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to several months.
Consider the THC dosage carefully: Depending on your preferences and experience with THC, you may want to adjust the dosage of your gummies accordingly. Use a THC distillate labeled with the potency and adjust the amount used in the recipe based on the desired dosage per gummy.
If you follow these tips and experiment with different ingredients and techniques, readers can create a truly unique and delicious organic THC gummy recipe that will certainly not disappoint.

Another quick comment …
It’s not clear though I think I figured it out after buying both if you need both agar, agar, and the fruit pectin. They are both listed in the ingredients however, only one is listed in the directions.
Thanks for this recipe… I’m about to try it today. Is it me, or did you not mention when to add soy lecithin?
