Infuse Store Bought Gummies with Cannabis — 4 Easy Steps

Step 3 — Dry and Flip

Wait at least 30 minutes (ideally 1 hour) for the tincture to fully absorb and dry on the first side. Then flip each gummy over and apply tincture to the second side using the cannabis gummy bears pipette method. This lets each gummy absorb a full dose on both sides, doubling the capacity.

Step 4 — Refrigerate and Wait

Once both sides are coated, cover the plate and refrigerate. Store in a dark, UV-protected container — UV light can degrade cannabinoids. Let the gummies cure for at least 2 hours before consuming. They are ready when the tincture is fully absorbed and the surface feels dry again.

Tips for Best Results

• Always use sugar-coated gummies — plain or gelatin-only gummies will not absorb tincture the same way. Sour gummies with sugar coating work great.
• Go slow with dosing — it is easy to add more tincture, but impossible to remove it. Start low and increase.
• Refrigerate for storage — keep finished cannabis gummies refrigerated in a sealed container away from light.
• Label your gummies — always clearly mark cannabis-infused gummies to prevent accidental consumption.
• Onset is 30 to 90 minutes — these are edibles and take time to kick in. Be patient before re-dosing.

About the Green Dragon Tincture

The cannabis gummies green dragon tincture base used here is a high-proof cannabis alcohol extract. It is strong and the alcohol flavor will be present in the finished gummy. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can make a stove-top version of Green Dragon where the alcohol is partially evaporated — this reduces the alcohol taste but requires more careful handling. Either version works for the infusion.
