Need help making OIL, Then Gummies?!

[NJFARMER]

I have 28 grams of 20% THC Cannabis.

Is there a proper recipe to infuse this one ounce of cannabis into coconut oil/avocado oil.

How much oil do i use? How do i infuse exactly? Do I decarb the weed first?

My ultimate goal is to make a strong oil to make gummies.

 

[SnappyJack]

You go man!... 20 thc... Wowser!

Sorry... I don't mess with oil... I thinks.... I may be alergic to avocados

But this post just pop to the top.. for now... maybe somebody help you out....

From what I've read u need to decarb it first
What you'll need
Rimmed baking tray
Baking paper
Crockpot, double boiler, or saucepan
Cheesecloth or strainer
Cooking twine to tie the cheesecloth

Step 1
Break up any cannabis flower or “buds” into smaller pieces.

Step 2
Layer the pieces onto a rimmed baking tray lined with baking paper/parchment. Place the baking tray into the center of a preheated oven set to 240°F-248°F (115°C-120°C) for 30-40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes.

Step 3
Allow the cannabis to cool to room temperature. It should appear darker in color – usually light brown or yellow, and not as green as fresh cannabis.

Step 4
Once cooled, coarsely grind the cannabis and store it in an airtight container.

Step 5
Combine the cannabis and coconut oil using one of the following methods:

Stirring occasionally in a slow cooker or crockpot on low for four to six hours.
In a double boiler on low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally – a simple heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of boiling water will suffice.
On the stove in a saucepan on low heat for 3 hours, stirring regularly. This method is the fastest but most susceptible to scorching. You can add a small amount of water to the oil to prevent scorching.
Note that the oil temperature should never exceed 245°F (118°C).

Step 6
Strain your canna-oil through a cheesecloth or strainer to remove the plant material.

It says an 8th with 1/2cup of coconut oil or olive oil
I'm not 100% but I think the ratio to bud should be higher for stronger stuff but not sure google says u can let it sit longer for higher potency
It also says lecithin can increase the bioavailability of thc making it more potent and effective not 100% just what google says

THANK you both so much. I appreciate it. My husband and I both have our own health issues. This enables us to save money while taking care of our health.

Follow up questions ...

my goal is numerous cannabis gummies, EACH having roughly 10 grams of THC (aka like a reasonable dose you'd get at a dispensary)

I have used a proper cannabis ratio calculator to learn 14 g or half ounce decarbed cannabis with nearly 20% THC INTO one cup of ghee will yield 60 gummies that each have roughly 10 mg of thc. In order to do this I need to add four tablespoons of butter into the gummy recipe.

Clearly if I make gummies there is a lot of other stuff in the recipe. Not sure if when I pour the recipe into 60-1 tsp gummies if they will even fit in there? Thoughts on this are very appreciated.

For those who have made gummies, does this math seem reasonably accurate?


Lastly I have weird concern that the ghee may not "accept" all the THC because it will get oversaturated, resulting in a waste of money. Do you think I'll be ok?
a lot of gummy recipes say "a third cup of cannabutter" or something but I dont know what their personal cannabutter strength is.....

thank you so much

The recipes I've seen call for a half cup of unsalted butter which is 2 bars and an 8th to 7g of weed so a cup would be half so yes it would accept it
About the gummies I think it will fit I'm honestly not sure have never made gummies just brownies and cookies

Mb for ur measurements for oil it's 7-14g to 1 cup oil

 

[Docgrows]

Oil is what I make for edibles and I take it plain as well. Decarb one ounce of bud at 230 degrees for 45 minutes, crush described bud up pretty fine and put in a little more than 16 oz coconut or olive oil in a pot with buds. Simmer over low heat( under 200 ) for an hour. Let cool and strain. I use an Infusium 420 machine, easy peasy! You’ll yield 16 oz of oil. Brownies call for 1/2 cup, so you’ll be putting half in a batch. I cut them into 15 squares and make 4 pieces from each square. Wife takes 1/4 of a square, I need 1/2 of one, but I make mine even stronger with 2 oz bud.

 

[Ninjadogma]

Finding this thread after I did some playing in the kitchen. Some homemade gummies I made. I used 2 ounces of about 12% THC weed and 2 cups of oil and got about a cup and a half back after straining. I will use that 2 ounces of pulp for brownies since it's good THC.

Here's my typical recipe.

My decarb: Pressure cooked for 45 minutes with jar of weed sitting in water.

My infusion: one ounce of weed and a cup of warm coconut oil in a jar, placed in slow cooker bath of water once temperature hits 175 and then simmered for at least 2 hours

My gummies: A cup of infused coconut oil, a cup of water, a tablespoon of soy lecithin, 4 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin and one 6 ounce pack of Jello flavored gelatin mix. Put water and oil in a pan over low heat to get the oil and water mixed together add the flavored and unflavored gelatin and stir over low heat for about 10 minutes. Then pour into a shallow pan, put pan in freezer and cut into about 30 even sized squares.

Notes on the gummies - The soy lecithin helps keep ingredients from settling before setting. If you want to make your gummies with a candy mold, you'll want to use a dropper to put the mix in each candy mold and you will want the lecithin to keep ingredients from settling. But if you're just pouring it into a pan you don't need the lecithin.

I just noticed my gummies look like a bowl of ahi tuna. I assure you they're cherry flavored.

Make rso then use that as a concentrate for edibles. You can make this then
You can use your choice of oil and do a second wash. I do not in everclear but might in lesser solvents.
if you use an oven check the temp i set my oven -50 where i want it.
i reduce it to rso to start.

How to Make a Cannabis Tincture: Easy Cold Alcohol Extraction

Come learn how to make your own homemade cannabis tincture using a simple cold alcohol (ethanol) extraction method.

I followed a much simpler process on my last batch based on another member’s recipe. It’s a gritty experience, but I’m not eating these gummies for their taste and texture. I appreciate the simplicity!

Decarb cannabis in the oven (I do 35 minutes at 230 in my oven)
Grind VERY finely in an herb grinder (the finer the better)
Mix ground herb directly in jello recipe (I used the Magic Butter Machine gummy mixes)
Pour in molds and let gel

Pros:
No THC loss in the “extraction” process because you’re consuming the decarbed weed directly
No oil or alcohol needed
No need to spend time and effort extracting in oil or alcohol
Cons:
It’s a little “Gritty” when chewed…..so small gummies are better.

Edit: I added Lecithin too when mixing the jello.

 

[mancorn]

How much THC in each gummy?! I normally can get 96 gummies from a 6oz pack of jello. (1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup of carrier oil.)

1g (1000mg) * 12%THC * 75% (=>CDN) * 80% (extraction) = 72mg THC per gram of weed.

If I want each gummies to be 5mg that’s 96 gummies * 5mg ea = 480mg of THC/72 THC per gram = 6.7g of decarbed source material. Think you’ll have a 12% mass loss from the decarbing so ~7.5g wet.

You’re using close to 8x the material and looks to be about half the number of gummies (50 ?) So you’re making 80mg gummies? I know everyone different when it comes to edibles, so maybe you have a high tolerance. But that would be a strong dose if you’re sharing.

That fiber must be working wonders.
A little gritty? My gummies at that point would look like Egyptian monuments

Have never heard of the mixes and took a look. Yikes $20 a pack!

A box of 6 oz Jello is less that $2. I add another oz of unflavored gelatin but that’s only another dollar (and couple teaspoons of citric acid). For $3 it’s the same thing.

I try to make mine as close to 100mg per "serving/treat). This is usually in rice krispy or brownie form. Roughly 2"x2.5

How to make weed gummies

Cannabis infused gummies are among the most delicious edibles. Making your own thc gummies is also surprisingly uncomplicated

Yeah that would be considered a very high dose. In my state a single serving can’t be more than 10mg, with the entire package no more than 100mg. Obviously you know your tolerance level, so if you’re just making them for personal consumption no biggie. But that would probably put me in the hospital.

My homegrown weed isn't lab tested so determining THC content per piece is just an educated guess based on my experience dosing. Each piece is about 60mg, so the THC content of the trim I used was somewhere around 10%. When I make a batch I have to try one and then I can give a ballpark estimate. Same for brownies. I use my leftover pulp for brownies so nothing goes to waste.

Oh, just a side note to those of you who are making edibles out of weed pulp, beware of farts that smell like weed. I never get it from the extracted oil but with pulp, let's just say my wife definitely knows when I had a brownie the night before.

One of the things that pissed me off about California going legal with recreational is I could no longer buy 500mg brownies. When they went recreational is when they decided a single dose was 10mg and packages were limited to 100mg. We were much better off before Prop 64.

My daily uptake is somewhere around 100mg. 60mg in edibles and the rest is my nightcap with a bong. For medicinal purposes, but with recreational value. I've had friends convinced they needed to go to the ER after as little as 40mg.

I’m always one for the more treats the better. My gummies are damn good so would eat them even if the didn’t get you high. But I guess eating 5 Rice Krispy treats might be too much. But on the flip side, if your dog ate one they might have a fighting change of staying out of the psycho ward.
