If you’ve ever wished you could enoy your favourite Seedsman strain without lighting up, THC gummies might be your new best mate. These bite-sized edibles are discreet, delicious, and pack a powerful punch when made properly. Making your own THC gummies at home is easier than you might think – and incredibly rewarding.
This guide will walk you through what THC gummies are, why they’re a favourite among cannabis lovers, and we've even thrown in an easy-to-follow recipe that shows you how to make your own from scratch using your top Seedsman strains.
What Are THC Gummies?
THC gummies are chewy edibles – think Jelly Babies for grown-ups – infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in cannabis that gives you that euphoric high. Unlike smoking or vaping, gummies offer a smoke-free discreet, and tasty way to consume cannabis.
They’re popular for a reason: THC gummies provide a long-lasting high, often more intense and body-focused than inhalation methods. They’re perfect for chilling at home, winding down after a stressful day, or even helping with sleep and pain relief (depending on the strain you use to make them).
Since the effects of edibles can take a while to kick in – sometimes up to two hours – and the effects of edibles also last longer than smoking, it's important to be mindful of your dosage, especially when making them yourself. Remember the key mantra of edibles consumption – start low and go slow.
Why Make THC Gummies At Home?
Store-bought edibles are convenient, but they can be pricey and may contain additives or artificial ingreidents you’d rather avoid. Making your own THC gummies gives you full control over the potency, flavour, ingredients, and effects. It’s also a fun DIY project that allows you to experiment with different cannabis strains and tailor your edibles to your exact preferences.
When you choose your own strain (like one of your favourites from Seedsman), you can design gummies that are energising, relaxings uplifting – whatever vibe you’re after.
Making THC Gummies – What You’ll Need
Before we jump into the recipe, gather your ingredients and tools. Here’s a basic list for making a batch of approximately 20-30 THC gummies:
Ingredients
- ½ cup of cannabis-infused coconut oil or tincture (see infusion instructions below)
- 1 packet flavoured gelatin (85g – like raspberry, lemon, strawberry)
- 2 tablespoons unflavoured gelatin (to help the THC gummies set firmly)
- ½ cup of water or fruit juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Equipment
- Moulds (preferably silicone)
- A dropper or small spoon for pouring the mix into the moulds (a dropper or pipette will give you greater accuracy and reduce waste)
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups
- Strainer or cheesecloth (for your oil infusion)
- Silicone spatula
Step 1: Make Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil or Tincture
The key to effective THC gummies is a good infusion. Here’s how to make a basic cannabis-infused coconut oil:
Ingredients
7-10 grams of decarboxylated cannabis (your Seedsman strain of choice)
1 cup of coconut oil
Method
- Decarboxylate your cannabis by baking it in the overn at 115C (240F) for 30-40 minutes. This activates the THC.
- In a saucepan, gently simmer your cannabis with coconut oil on a low heat (Around 70-90C or 160-200F) for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Avoid overheating to preserve THC.
- Strain the oil to separate the plant matter from the liquid using cheesecloth or a fine strainer and let it cool.
Alternatively, you can use a store-bought cannabis tincture if you want to skip the infusion step.
Step 2: Make the THC Gummies
Once your cannabis oil is ready, you’re just minutes away from homemade THC gummies.
Method:
- In a saucepan, mix your water or juice with the unflavoure and flavoured gelatins. Let the mixture bloom for a few minutes (this helps to avoid lumps)
- Gently heat the miixture on low, stirring consistently until smooth.
- Add your cannabis-infused coconut oil and whisk thorooughly until it’s fully combined and glossy. If using a tincture, add it at this stage instead.
- Add honey or sweetener if desired, and continue mixing for 1-2 minutes.
- Use a dropper or spoon to carefully fill your moulds. Work quickly – the mixture can start to set fast.
- Place the moulds in the fridge and let them set for a minimum of 1 hour.
Dosage Tips For THC Gummies
The potency of your THC gummies depends on the strength of your infusion and how much you use. If you’re unsure , start with a small dose (5-10mg of THC per gummy is common). You can calculate approximate potency by knowing your strain’s THC percentage and how much you’ve used in the oil.
Always label your edibles clearly and keep them away from children and pets.
Customising Your THC Gummies
Once you’ve mastered the basics, it’s easy to get creative. Here are some ways to personalise your THC gummies:
Flavours: Swap juice types or use natural flavour extracts
Shapes: Try fun silicone moulds: Bears, hearts – you can even find silicone moulds in the shape of cannabis leaves.
Effects: Try using different Seedsman strains to tailor your experience (more on this below).
Add CBD: Balance your THC high with a bit of CBD for a smoother, more roudned effect.
Making your own THC gummies is a fun project you can do by yourself or with a friend. Half the fun is in the creation, but the best bit is definitely sampling them. Remember to dose cautiously – give it plenty of time for the effects to kick in and resist the temptation to scoff a handful of these things; the potency is next-level if you’re not used to THC edibles.
