THC syrup is becoming one of the best ways to consume cannabis ingested, which on the other hand is becoming more popular every day because the properties of cannabinoids are used more and it does not have the drawbacks of smoking. In this article we are going to see what THC syrup is, how it is made and consumed, and the benefits it does not provide, among other things. Continue reading to learn more about this revolutionary product.

⭐ What is THC syrup?

 

Although some people call it Cannalean THC syrup, it is not to be confused with the famous Lean drink that is made by mixing cough syrup with Sprite or Seven Up. THC infused syrup is a sweet drink that combines water with sugar, cannabis , glycerin and flavorings, but other ingredients can also be added, and although it could be used as a THC cough syrup in a way, it is usually consumed to reap the benefits of cannabinoids or directly to get high.

Drinking THC syrup can be easily dosed and consumed directly, but it can also be used to add the precious cannabinoids of our favorite plant to any recipe and quickly sweeten and liven up a coffee, infusion, milk or whatever you prefer. The biggest advantage of this drink is that it can be prepared in a very short time, and not many ingredients are needed.

⛳ How to make THC syrup?

In this article we are going to look at how THC infused simple syrup is made, to make it easy to make and easy for everyone to make, but really it can be made in many ways. There is also a non-psychoactive medicinal variation which is CBD syrup, made with cannabidiol-rich flowers instead of THC buds, but is otherwise made the same

Ingredients and preparation time

*Cooking time: 10 minutes
*Total preparation time: 70-75 minutes

✨ THC Syrup Recipe

• The first step is to decarboxylate marijuana, since when consuming it, the cannabinoids must first be activated. You can take a look at this article to see the decarboxylation process, but basically it involves wrapping the buds in aluminum foil and heating them in the oven for 50 minutes at around 105º C. It is recommended to stir the buds a little in the middle of the process so that they decarboxylate evenly.

• Pour the water into a saucepan or casserole and put it on the fire, once it is hot you can add the sugar and the flavorings, and from here you have to stir until it dissolves completely.

• Once the sugar has dissolved, add the buds or the cannabis concentrate, and continue stirring for another 30 minutes with the heat at medium power (without boiling).

• After this time we lower the heat a little and add the vegetable glycerin, we continue stirring for 6 or 7 more minutes while we see how the mixture thickens, and turn off the heat. In the case of being too liquid, you can continue heating and stirring until the texture is to our liking.

• Let it cool for a few minutes, meanwhile we can prepare a cloth strainer to filter the liquid and separate the vegetable remains

• We place the strainer over a container and carefully filter all the content, making sure that no vegetable remains are strained.

👌 How to use THC syrup?

Without a doubt, this is one of the most versatile cannabis extracts because it can be used in many different ways, although the simplest is sublingually by dripping the THC syrup. To better control the dose, the ideal is to pour a part of the syrup into a dropper or bottle with a dropper, and just open your mouth, lift your tongue, and drop the drops you want in the area below the tongue.

Can you vape THC syrup? It could be vaporized but it is not the best way to consume it because it contains a large part of water. Normally E-liquids are made from a mixture of cannabis, vegetable glycerin, and a part of propylene glycol, but they do not contain water like our recipe, so it is better to drink it directly or mix it with your favorite drink or food.

Many people consume it mixed with coffee or tea, since in addition to adding the components of cannabis we will be sweetening it, and in this way we avoid adding sugar to sweeten the infusion. It can also be applied in fruit juices, milk, soft drinks, or even plain water, and you just have to add the drops you want and stir the mixture, nothing faster than this. And the best thing is that it can also be combined with sauces, syrups, and other condiments to improve any recipe, or even add several drops to a salad, soup, or any meal.

Does THC syrup have to be refrigerated?

Yes, it is recommended to keep it in the fridge so that changes in temperature do not affect the mixture. Thanks to the large amount of sugar it contains, THC syrup can last a long time without problems, but it will always keep better if it is kept refrigerated. It is not a bad idea to separate all the content into several small droppers, and only take out of the fridge the one that we are using at that moment, while the others are kept without changes in temperature.

📲 THC Syrup Dosage Chart

*This graph is made with THC syrup made with 8 grams of marijuana buds with 10% THC, for other concentrations of cannabinoids it will be necessary to calculate the specific dosages.

🚀 How many ml of THC syrup should I use?

That depends on the user’s tolerance and the desired effect, but this graph indicates the doses for cannabis users, whether regular or occasional, and it is always better to measure the dose in mg of THC than in ml of syrup. If you have never used marijuana, I recommend starting with a lower dose, from 1 to 2.5 mg can be ideal. In the case of consuming from time to time and having a low tolerance to THC, it is best not to exceed 8 mg, although 5 mg can be enough unless you want to have a strong experience.

Regular users with a medium tolerance can take between 8 and 20 mg, and those with a high tolerance will be satiated with doses between 20 and 35 mg. Higher dosages are reserved for those experienced individuals who have too high a tolerance to feel the full effects of lower dosages, such as those who consume cannabis edibles or edibles on a daily basis.

✅ Benefits of THC Syrup

There is THC syrup for sale in several states of the USA and Canada, because this product is more common in North America than in the rest of the world, but we are sure that it will soon be seen in the European and South American markets.

As a general rule, it could be said that the price of THC syrup with a concentration of 1000 mg ranges between 25 and 50 dollars, although this is very relative as I said before.

If you allow me a recommendation, I will tell you that for the short time it takes to prepare this recipe and the few ingredients it contains, you are interested in making your own homemade THC syrup, since you can add the aroma and flavor that you prefer and do it with the concentration of THC that most interests you.
