Making edibles yourself is worthwhile in many ways. First and foremost, you gain full control over the quality and ingredients of your cannabis edibles. Industrially manufactured products such as cannabis gummy bears, brownies or THC gummy bears often contain artificial flavors, too much sugar or preservatives. When you make your own edibles, you decide what goes into your sweets or edibles.

Another advantage: you can tailor edibles exactly to your needs - be it as vegan edibles, low-calorie fruit gums, aromatic cannabutter or relaxing drinks. At the same time, you benefit from an exact dosage, which is often imprecise with store-bought products. With THC edibles in particular, careful and individual dosing is crucial to avoid undesirable effects such as excessive highs.

By using cannabis flowers, cannabis extracts or concentrates, you can also benefit from the so-called entourage effect. Cannabinoids such as CBD and THC work synergistically with terpenes and flavonoids. This effect is particularly long-lasting with edibles, as the effect sets in slowly and lasts for a long time.

Consuming cannabis via edibles also offers practical advantages: Edibles do not burden the respiratory tract and can be enjoyed discreetly and conveniently - whether at home, on the go or as a well-dosed evening ritual.

After all, making your own edibles is simply fun. Creating your own cannabutter, gummy bears or space cookies deepens your knowledge of the cannabis plant and its numerous effects.

To make your own edibles you will need:

• Cannabis flowers, cannabis oil or CBD crystals

• A high-quality fat (e.g. butter, coconut oil, MCT oil or cream)

• Other ingredients depending on the recipe (chocolate, fruit juices, gelatine, etc.)

• Oven and cookware

Cannabis oil (e.g. CBD or THC oil) makes production much easier, as it is already decarboxylated and can be easily dosed. This makes edibles a success even for beginners.

• Cannabis flowers - perfect for cannabutter and brownies

• CBD oil - ideal for fruit gums, drinks and dressings

• CBD crystals - tasteless, for confectionery and drinks

• Concentrates - for experienced users

• Oven

• Pot or slow cooker

• Airtight container

• Sieve, cheesecloth or filter

• Kitchen scales & thermometer

• Mixer or whisk

• Molds & glasses

1. Roughly chop the flowers

2. Spread on a baking tray

3. Heat at 110-115 °C for 30-40 minutes

4. Occasionally turn

Ensure temperatures below 140 °C to obtain terpenes.

1. Melt 250 g butter

2. Add 5-10 g of decarboxylated flowers

3. 80-90 °C, simmer for 1-2 hours

4. Strain

5. Store in the refrigerator

1. Heat 250 ml coconut or MCT oil

2. Add CBD crystals or flowers

3. Leave to infuse for 1 hour at below 100 °C

4. Strain & store in a dark place

• Start with 5-10 mg THC/CBD

• Wait 2 hours before topping up

• Note: 4-8 hours effect possible

Calculation example:
500 mg THC in cannabutter → 25 cookies → 20 mg/biscuit

CBD cookies are the perfect introduction to the world of homemade edibles. They are easy to prepare and offer a pleasant way to integrate CBD into everyday life. The fat contained in the butter ensures that the cannabinoids are optimally absorbed. You can use either CBD oil or homemade cannabutter to make them. The even dosage makes CBD cookies particularly beginner-friendly - and a delicious snack for in between meals.

Fruit gums are one of the most popular forms of edibles - not only because of their taste, but also because of their practical dosage. They are ideal for on the go, in the office or as a small portion in the evening. You can make them yourself with natural fruit juice, gelatine or a plant-based alternative, as well as a little honey or agave syrup. You can use either CBD oil or isolated CBD crystals as the active ingredient base, which mix well with the liquid ingredients. Tip: The combination of vitamin C-rich juice and CBD can support your immune system - without any additives.

If you like it uncomplicated, no-bake CBD chocolate is just the thing for you. It is quick to prepare, tastes intensely chocolaty and can be portioned perfectly. To make it, melt high-quality dark chocolate in a bain-marie and add your CBD oil or cannabutter once it has cooled to around 35-40 °C. You can then pour the mixture into silicone molds and leave to set in the refrigerator. Due to the high fat content of the chocolate, the CBD is absorbed particularly well - ideal as a small reward after a long day.
