Weed gummies are fun and are one of the most popular ways to consume weed. The gummies are lighter and more edible than cookies and brownies. You can move with them seamlessly, and they stay fresh for longer than other baked goods. Since they come in many flavors and ranges of dosages, users usually get diverse options that fit unique needs.

Most weed users today are going the DIY route to create gummies right in their kitchen and enjoy these benefits. Getting the ingredients can be tricky, so newbies need guidance on gathering the right ingredients for the process. You may probably experience a few bumps initially, but making DIY weed gummies is seamless with the right ingredients and procedure. In this guide, we cover everything you ought to know about DIY weed gummies. Let's get started!

What Are Weed Gummies?

Weed gummies refer to fruit-flavored candies infused with THC. The gummies have various kinds of flavors in a range of doses. The amount of THC used depends on the user preference, with the most popular low dose being 5mg of THC or less per serving. Using the gummy is also simple, as you only need to pick up a single gummy and chow down. The effects usually pick up in an hour or two.

The popularity of weed gummies stems from their versatility and convenience. They can last for several months, contrary to weed cookies that go stale shortly after you open the package. In this case, occasional edible users can get a package of gummies to last several months without generating waste. This also makes the best weed edible to travel with.

The Benefits of Making Weed Gummies

An increasing number of weed users are looking for ways to make weed gummies at home for several reasons. The major drive is that weed gummies bought from dispensaries usually have dosage limits. Users with higher THC tolerance will find this experience frustrating and costly. The best way to enjoy weed gummies customized for their taste is by using DIY procedures.

Equally important, the method used to consume weed usually results in different experiences. Consuming weed gummies has a longer onset time than smoking due to the duration it takes to enter the bloodstream. However, it results in several benefits over smoking, pushing most weed users today to transition to these chewy little edibles. These include:

• Potent effects: The body metabolizes the gummy differently from other ways to consume weed. It usually results in a more intense experience for consumers. This occurs since gummies are processed in the liver, and the stomach metabolizes to create compounds called 11-hydroxy-THC, a highly potent cannabinoid.
• Healthier option: Smoking is not the best or a healthier option for people with lung and respiratory issues. Consuming gummies is the best way to consume weed while sticking to your dietary restrictions.
• Discreet: Most people fear using weed due to the negativity surrounding it. If clouds of smoke and the pungent odor of smoking weed do not sit well with you, gummies offer a perfect alternative. You only need to place it in your jaw, kept away, and consume it slowly.  
• Long-lasting effects: Gummies can last an average of 4-6 hours and sometimes longer in low-tolerance users.
• Variety of flavors: The flavors of weed gummies are endless. You can make any flavor that suits your needs.
• Precisely dosed: Gummies offer a perfect way to get the right amount of cannabinoids that fit your needs and tolerance. Making them at home allows you to tailor the experience further and achieve the potency you need.
