1. What is THC Dosage Calculation?

THC dosage calculation helps determine the amount of THC per serving in homemade edibles. This is crucial for consistent dosing and safe consumption of cannabis-infused products.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Total\ THC \) — Total milligrams of THC in your infusion
• \( Servings \) — Number of portions/servings

Explanation: This calculation divides the total available THC equally among all servings to determine the dose per serving.

3. Importance of Accurate THC Dosage

Details: Proper dosing ensures predictable effects, prevents overconsumption, and allows for consistent experiences. This is especially important for medical cannabis users who need precise dosing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total THC content in milligrams (typically calculated from the percentage of THC in your starting material) and the number of servings you plan to make. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I determine total THC content?
A: Multiply the weight of cannabis in grams by its THC percentage (as decimal), then by 1000 (to convert to mg). Example: 3.5g of 20% THC = 3.5 × 0.20 × 1000 = 700mg total THC.

Q2: What's a standard edible dose?
A: Beginners: 2.5-5mg, Regular users: 10-20mg, Experienced users: 20-50mg. Doses above 50mg can be very strong for most people.

Q3: Does this account for THC loss during decarb/infusion?
A: No, this assumes 100% efficiency. In practice, account for ~10-30% loss depending on your method.

Q4: Can I use this for CBD edibles?
A: Yes, the same calculation applies to CBD or any other cannabinoid you're measuring.

Q5: How should I label my edibles?
A: Always label with total THC per serving, date made, and ingredients. Store safely away from children/pets.
