Making Cannabis Infused Lollipops is fun & easy to do, as long as you follow a few simple steps. These marijuana lollipops are so easy to make, you’ll want to make them on a regular basis. The key to making cannabis infused lollipops is temperature. While this is a very simple edibles recipe, requiring only 5 ingredients, it’s not something you can set and forget. You have to be present and keep a close eye on your thermometer throughout the process. There’s a thing in candy making called “Hard Crack Stage” and it simply means that you have to heat your organic sugar, corn syrup and water up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the heat source. Getting it to this temperature, makes your candy hard. Makes sense, right?

The tricky part with making marijuana infused lollipops is that you have to let it cool down to about 250 degrees Fahrenheit so you don’t lose out on all of the incredible healing compounds in your cannabis tincture. This makes it a little messier to deal with since the liquid candy has already cooled and gets a bit sticky around this temperature.

You’ll probably have little hard candy trails all over your molds and counter when all is said and done. The upside is that you can just wait until it hardens and eat it. I didn’t have any issues with stubborn hard candy that I couldn’t pry off, but you’ll want to make sure that you work on non-stick surfaces. If you’re worried about making a mess, just lay down a sheet of parchment paper underneath your candy or lollipop molds.

t’s all in the mold. You can use your gummy bear molds from making Cannabis Gummies, or you can find molds specifically for hard candy making here. I prefer working with silicon since it’s reusable and it’s easy to remove your candy from silicon molds, but player’s choice!

You’ll have to make a cannabis tincture first or use decarboxylated hash (I haven’t tried this yet, but will update this post as soon as I do). Be careful when using alcohol-based tincture and make sure you are far away from your heat source when stirring it into your candy mixture. Because… Booze + Heat = Fire.

HAT ARE WEED LOLLIPOPS AND WHERE TO BUY THEM?

Weed lollipops are candies infused with marijuana, and that includes psychoactive compounds like THC. It may seem like we’re stating the obvious, but it’s important to distinguish true weed lollipops from hemp lollipops. Hemp lollipops don’t contain any THC, so those are generally legal around the world. As a result, they’re easier to find than psychoactive cannabis confections. But, they won’t get you high.

Weed lollipops, on the other hand, are a rarer commodity. If you’re lucky, you’ll find them in a coffeeshop in the Netherlands. Otherwise, your best bet is to make them at home.

The good news? It’s super easy, and we’re going to tell you exactly how. Twice.

SO, DO WEED LOLLIPOPS GET YOU HIGH?

The answer is yes. As is the case with other edibles, the high tends to come on slowly and last for a few hours. You should always be cautious when trying any edible for the first time. We recommend taking a few licks, waiting around 45–60 minutes, and going from there. Once you know how a particular batch affects you, you can roll with it a little more freely.
