The process of creating infused edibles in a gummy candy format involves combining a cannabis extract with a gelatin-based recipe. This preparation requires careful attention to ingredient ratios, temperature control, and infusion techniques to ensure consistent potency and desired texture. A common starting point includes combining gelatin, water, flavoring, sweetener, and the chosen cannabis extract, such as distillate or infused oil.
The appeal of crafting these edibles lies in the controlled dosing and discreet consumption they offer. Individuals can tailor the strength of each gummy to their specific needs and preferences, unlike some commercially available products with varying potencies. Historically, homemade edibles have provided a means for those seeking alternative consumption methods to manage conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, or insomnia with greater customization.
