Issue #385 - Sunday, September 1, 2019
Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- We made cannabis gummies! It was fun, productive, and they ended up being some of our favorite edibles ever. Today, we're going to show you how to make them, and I'm absolutely positive you're going to love them!
- Part of reason cannabis gummies are so great is their high levels of potency which comes from using hash oil. You could get gummies by making your hash oil the old-school way (which works), or you could take the easy/fun/awesome route...
- It seems that whenever I mention how many pictures are coming in, you all send in a ton more! We're featuring two growers with excellent photos today, but we're getting so many fantastic pics that we might need to do a whole newsletter full of them!

How to Make Cannabis Gummies
(Weed Gummy Bears)
|
If you know how to make cannabis tinctures and hash oil, you can turn almost any food into a weed edible. Of all the edibles I’ve tried, my favorite is the cannabis gummy (aka the “Weed Gummy” or “Ganja Gummy”) for a few reasons.
For starters, weed gummies are small, they’re easy to eat, they don’t make a mess, and you can make them in countless flavors. And since they’re made using hash oil, you can make tune their potency to be insanely-high, delicate and subtle, or anywhere in between.
You can sit a cannabis gummy on the counter at room temperature and it won’t melt because it isn’t just Jell-O. That makes these gummies much easier to pack up and take elsewhere since they can last without being refrigerated.
Plus, they’re just plain fun-looking. I mean, look at these while saying “Ganja Gummy” out loud and I bet your day will get 5% better.

What’s So Great About Making Cannabis Gummies?
Gummies have recently surpassed high-potency weed brownies as my favorite edible. [Edit: It’s my favorite now, too! ~Nebula]
I love being able to make drastic changes to the gummies’ flavor with little effort (more on that in the FAQs toward the end). Plus, people love them! When you make cannabis gummies, they don’t tend to last very long, especially with other people around. I had to call dibs on the 4 in the picture below so Nebula wouldn’t eat them before I got the shot!
I convinced Nebula not to eat these ones so I could take pictures. It was a shaky truce.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that you can’t legally purchase strong cannabis gummies in the state of California. By CA law, any edible has to be delineated with only 10mg per portion. That means that the most potent edibles in CA are the ones you make at home. While the law is a bit backward in my opinion, it does highlight the importance of making your own edibles.
On top of that, you can’t get cannabis gummies in fun shapes at all (by law) if you live in California, Colorado, or Washington. So if you want potent, fun-shaped gummies, it’s all about doing it yourself!
The Magical Butter Machine can take a lot of the work out of making gummies.
I’ve tried many recipes for making gummies, but this recipe (based on the one from the folks who make the Magical Butter Machine) is easily the best one of them all. Big thanks to MagicalButter.com for their great recipe!
Important Reminder:
Please do not keep your weed gummies in a place where a young person could get their hands on them. They look like regular candy and any kid (or pet) that finds them will likely eat them immediately!
Which Extract Do I Start With?
Cannabis gummies are made using hash oil. This makes it so that you get high levels of potency without as much of the strong “weed flavor” that generally accompanies edibles. However, the extract you start with will further increase or decrease that undesirable “green” flavor. There are two main choices when it comes to your starting extract:
Starting with tincture (good method)
Starting with hash oil (best method)
- Well made hash oil has very little green matter in it, so the taste is a lot more enjoyable. If you have the weed, time, and patience, I strongly recommend making gummies with pure hash oil. See these steps for info on how to make high-grade hash oil which is great for making gummies. You can also use the Source Extractor to effortlessly create high -grade hash oil with these instructions. Note: Pure hash oil also comes from a tincture, but the method of making that tincture makes a world of difference.
Uh oh, we're about to get into the nitty-gritty of how to make gummies with step-by-step instructions!

Great Ganja Gummies Come From
High-Grade Hash Oil!

Nebula and I have been doing a lot of experimentation with edibles in the past weeks. We've tried making gummies, cannabis soda, hard candies, simple syrup, and even pesto!
Not everything worked, but one thing we've realized is that hash oil is the best extract to use for making edibles (yes, even better than cannabutter)!
If you want the awesome edibles, you need to start with awesome hash oil!
Here are three methods for producing your own hash oil that we've thoroughly tested ourselves:
1. Old-School Tincture to Old-School Double-Boil
- Make a tincture by hand
- Boil it down to hash oil with a double-boiler

"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water
