A few months ago I asked here how the dispensaries make the hard candy, and the answer was that the overall process of making hard candy is quite simple, and if you want cannabis candy you just need to add in the tincture or honey oil or whatever, while the candy can still be stirred.
One dispensary that we occasionally use has hard candies which are very powerful. In fact, the staff there warn you about that, and advise you to suck on one for a few minutes and then wrap it up again for later. For typical patients, based on my very limited experience, I'd say a quarter to a half will work very well, although in the case of severe pain they might want more. As far as I can tell, the cannabinoids are impregnated throughout the interior of the candy, because the "last half" works as well as the "first half".
But, as it turns out, these candies start out as ordinary commercially available Jolly Rancher fruit flavored candy. So somehow they get the cannabinoids into them after they've been manufactured. How would they do that? If you "dope"--no pun intended--a Lifesaver or other hard candy with, let's say, tincture of cannabis, will the tincture naturally diffuse itself throughout the interior of the candy?
