1. What is Edible Potency?

Edible potency refers to the concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in each serving of a cannabis-infused product. It's measured in milligrams of THC per serving (mg/serving) and helps consumers understand the strength of the product.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple potency formula:

Where:

• \( THC \) — Total milligrams of THC in the product
• \( Serving\ Size \) — Number of servings in the product

Explanation: This calculation divides the total THC content by the number of servings to determine how much THC is in each individual serving.

3. Importance of Potency Calculation

Details: Knowing the potency of edibles is crucial for proper dosing, avoiding overconsumption, and achieving consistent effects. It helps both medical and recreational users control their THC intake.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total THC content in milligrams and the number of servings in the product. Both values must be greater than zero for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a typical potency range for edibles?
A: Commercial edibles typically range from 5-10 mg per serving (low dose) to 50-100 mg per serving (high dose). Beginners should start with 2.5-5 mg.

Q2: How does potency affect onset time?
A: Potency doesn't directly affect onset time, but higher doses may seem to take effect faster due to more noticeable effects when they do appear.

Q3: Can I calculate potency without lab testing?
A: For homemade edibles, potency estimates are less accurate without lab testing due to variables in THC extraction and distribution.

Q4: Why is accurate potency important?
A: Accurate potency helps prevent overconsumption, which can lead to uncomfortable experiences like anxiety or paranoia.

Q5: How should I store edibles to maintain potency?
A: Store in airtight containers in cool, dark places to prevent THC degradation over time.
