So glad to hear you found it informative! Incase you missed it the most recent episode of the Mounsey Minute series I am doing on Media Monarchy with James Evan Pilato (and with the help of Cassie, his better half) aired today https://mediamonarchy.com/20241113morningmonarchy/ and it focused on Cannabis centered subject matter :)

'Cross-pollination' of posts is always welcomed and appreciated, thanks for enriching and spreading the seeds of knowledge my friend ;)

I bought the Infuzium 420 machine for cannabis gummies, (have yet to make them), tinctures and infusing culinary herbs in to oils and butters as I love to cook.

Cannabis gummies are wonderful for reducing pain.

awesome article.

are the gummies made with this method the kind that squish easily and stick to the teeth (like the fake fruit slice candies or Swedish fish) or do they have some chewiness/resilience?

I'm looking for a method to produce gummies of the second type. I've noticed that jello gets towards the texture and consistency I want if I use significantly less water than the recipes call for and I've hypothesized that dehydrating gummies after fabrication might also help get rid of the soft/sticky issue.

any tips based on your experiences?

Hey man, I have experimented with "air curing" the gummies after cooling them for up to 24 hours and found they get more of that "chewiness/resilience" but to be honest I am less focused on their consistency and more interested in the medicinal efficacy (so I often shortcut and just bag em and put em in the freezer without curing).

I originally made the gummies as I know some of my family members buy the processed sugar and chemical filled government licenced ones from stores so I made my own organic low-sugar nutrient dense version (laced with spike protein detoxing ingredients) and gave them as x-mas gifts to try and covertly help them out (as they would have likely called me a conspiracy theorist if I told them they should be drinking white pine needle tea et) as many of them decided to get the mRNA injections (and most of them were in denial about how dangerous said injections were, and are, at the time). I find that the coconut oil made gummies are not stick to teeth consistency but more smooth and jello-ish once thawed (I store them in the freezer typically).

Another reason (aside from laziness and indifference to texture) why I do not air cure is that cannabinoids are denatured by oxidation (so over time the amount of THC, CBD, THC-a and CBD-a and all the other cannabinoids decrease in potency the longer the containing substance is exposed to oxygen.

That said, I suggest using lemon juice and/or ascorbic acid and citric acid (it mitigates the chance of mold with long room temp exposure) and then air curing at room temp for 12- 24 hours to get a more resilient and chewiness if that is of central importance.

Thanks for the comment man.

great advice, thank you. I'll give it a try... gummies are one of my favorite candies but I can't find any decent ones on the market. either they're toxic chemical formulations or more natural ingredients but squishy-squashy-sticky instead of gummy.

the neutraceutical aspect isn't my focus but it still wouldn't hurt to have those on hand too.
