Ingredients
- Delta 9 THC distillate: Ensure it is sourced from a legal and reputable supplier.
- Unflavored gelatin: This helps to give the gummies their chewy texture.
- Fruit juice or flavored drink mix: For flavor.
- Sweetener: Sugar, honey, or agave syrup.

Equipment
- Saucepan
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Dropper or syringe (for precise dosing)
Instructions
- Preparation: Ensure your workspace is clean and all your ingredients and equipment are ready.
- Mixing Gelatin: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of fruit juice or flavored drink mix with 1/4 cup of water. Gradually sprinkle 2 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin into the liquid while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Heating: Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat it over low heat. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved, and the mixture becomes smooth. Avoid boiling.
- Sweetening: Add your chosen sweetener to the mixture. The amount depends on your taste preference, typically around 1/2 cup of sugar or an equivalent amount of honey or agave syrup. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Adding Delta 9 THC: Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Add the Delta 9 THC distillate using a dropper or syringe, ensuring even distribution. The dosage will depend on the desired potency and the strength of your distillate.
- Pouring into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds. Use the dropper or syringe to ensure precise dosing for each gummy.
- Setting: Refrigerate the molds for at least 1 hour or until the gummies are firm.
- Storage: Once set, remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
