Infuse Store Bought Gummies with Cannabis — 4 Easy Steps

Learning how to infuse store bought gummies with cannabis is one of the easiest ways to make cannabis edibles without any cooking. All you need is a bag of sugar-coated gummy bears, some Green Dragon tincture, and a pipette. The sugar coating on the gummies acts as a sponge that absorbs the tincture, locking cannabinoids into each gummy in just a few hours.

What You Need to Infuse Store Bought Gummies with Cannabis

This cannabis gummies green dragon tincture method requires just a few items:

• Sugar-coated gummy bears — the sugar coating is essential; plain gummies will not absorb the tincture properly
• Green Dragon cannabis tincture — a high-proof alcohol cannabis extract (see the Green Dragon tincture video for how to make it)
• Pipette or dropper — for precise dosing (1ml per pipette fill is a good reference dose)
• Plate or tray — to lay the gummies flat while drying

Infuse Store Bought Gummies with Cannabis — 4 Easy Steps

Step 1 — Know Your Dose

Before infusing, establish your dosage using the green dragon gummy infusion dosage you know works for you. If 1ml of your Green Dragon gets you adequately medicated, use that as your reference. For a batch of 12 gummies split between 2 people, aim for about 2.5ml total (roughly 2.5 pipettes of 1ml each). Adjust based on your tincture strength.

Step 2 — Apply Tincture to One Side

Lay your sugar coated gummies cannabis infusion targets flat on their backs on a plate. Fill the pipette to your target amount and apply small drops to each gummy. The sugar coating will soak up the tincture — don’t over-apply. If you see liquid pooling on the plate around the gummy, you’ve exceeded its absorption capacity. Stop and wait for it to dry before adding more.

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.
