📖 History & Role

🛠️ Creation Blueprint

1. Decarb & Infuse:
   • Activate 10 g 20 % THC craft‑grow flower at 240 °F / 115 °C for 40 min.
   • Infuse into 140 mL MCT oil @ 180 °F for 2 h with 2 g lecithin for bio‑availability. Final potency ≈ 1400 mg THC.
   • Blend with 2800 mg broad‑spectrum CBD/CBG distillate (1 : 2 THC/CBD ratio). Keep warm 120 °F.
2. Pectin Gummy Base: Bring 600 mL water, 200 g allulose, 80 g erythritol to 220 °F; add 24 g citrus pectin pre‑mixed with 6 g calcium lactate.
3. Cool & Dose: At 180 °F stir in infused oil (40 mL = 400 mg THC, 800 mg CBD), turmeric extract 4 g, boswellia 3 g, ginger extract 2 g, black‑pepper 0.4 g, vitamin D₃ 200 000 IU powder (enough for 1000 IU/pc), terpene blend 0.5 mL.
4. Mold & Set: Pipe into 3 mL silicone molds; cure 24 h at 60 °F; toss in monk‑fruit powder to prevent stick.
5. Package & Label: Child‑resistant jars; QR code to ISO‑17025 lab COA; “Contains cannabis—keep out of reach of children”; THC icon per Illinois regs; nutrition facts (≤ 2 g sugar).

🎯 Use‑Case Flow

• Chronic Flare Plan: Track pain 1–10 → titrate dose nightly up to 20 mg THC as tolerated (medical SKU under clinician guidance).
