Marijuana candies are as easy to make as weed cakes. But, there’s still a misconception that they’re tougher to perfect than brownies. That’s not true though. Just like you need to make cannabutter for making weed brownies, similarly, you need to make cannabis tincture to make marijuana candies.

How To Make Cannabis Tincture?

The first step to making cannabis candies is perfecting the art of making cannabis tincture. It’s not an amateur’s job, but, if you have some sort of experience in making cannabutter, you should be good. For first-timers, it’s better you make the tincture under the guidance of someone who has done it before. That said, you only need the following ingredients to make Cannabis tincture.

  • High-quality Weed strain
  • Alcohol

Steps to Make Weed Tincture

Remember, you can always buy edible weed tincture, but if you’re making it at home, follow the steps below.

  • Ground the weed strain you’ve picked.
  • Heat the strain in an oven at 255° F for about 30 minutes.
  • Let it cool down and keep it inside an airtight jar full of alcohol.
  • Let the mixture settle in the jar for about 2 weeks before you can open it.
  • Use a cheesecloth to filter the liquid from the residue.

The liquid you get is your homemade cannabis tincture.

And, now that you have the tincture, it’s time to learn how to make marijuana candies – primarily lollipops and gummy candies.
