How To Make CBD Gummies at Home: DIY

CBD Gummies

CBD gummies are a popular CBD edible that embeds the goodness of the cannabinoid in candy form. Recent studies indicate that CBD could be the solution to treat several physical and mental health problems, such as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, anxiety, insomnia, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, swelling, nausea, vomiting.

Compared to other dosage forms, such as smoking, vaping, sublingual edibles offer several advantages like the slow and steady onset of effects. Gummies might take anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. Also, based on the strength of CBD, the consequences can last for more than a couple of hours, which is ideal for longtime relief. Also, regular dosing becomes easy, given you can chew a piece of gummy any time of the day. The method is also comparatively subtle and safe to use.

Preparing CBD Gummies At Home

Define The Dosage 

Dosage is an important aspect of any CBD edible. Choosing the right concentration or strength of CBD oil is necessary to ensure you enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the cannabinoid. 

So, before you start preparing the gummies, let us go through the basis for calculating the strength and dosage of your CBD gummies. 

A small bottle of CBD oil or tincture contains about 30ml oil or 30, 1 ml servings. If the label identifies the strength of the oil to be 1000mg, then the dosage of CBD per ml, in this case, would be 

1000/30 = 33mg per ml 

Similarly, you can find CBD oil of strengths 500mg, 2000mg, or 3000 mg to change the cannabinoid strength per ml of the oil.

To calculate the CBD dosage per gummy, let us assume that we use 2 ml of CBD oil of strength 1000mg for a batch of 100 gummies. 

So 4 * 33 mg per ml = 132 mg per ml / 100 gummies = 1.32 mg CBD per gummy. 

You can use these formulas to determine how many gummies you can consume in a day to match your recommended dosage limits.
