1. What is THC Potency?

THC potency refers to the total amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in a cannabis product, typically measured in milligrams (mg). It's calculated based on the THC percentage and the weight of the product.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the THC potency formula:

Where:

• \( THC\% \) — Percentage of THC in the product (0-100%)
• \( Weight \) — Weight of the product in grams
• \( Potency \) — Result in milligrams (mg) of THC

Explanation: The formula converts the percentage to a decimal, multiplies by weight, and converts grams to milligrams (×1000).

3. Importance of THC Calculation

Details: Knowing THC potency helps consumers understand product strength, dose accurately, and comply with local regulations regarding THC limits.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter THC percentage (without % sign) and product weight in grams. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why calculate THC potency?
A: It helps determine the total active THC content for accurate dosing and product comparison.

Q2: What's a typical THC percentage range?
A: Flower typically ranges 10-30%, concentrates 50-90%, and edibles often list total mg per package.

Q3: How does this relate to dosage?
A: Beginners might start with 2.5-5mg THC, while experienced users may take 10-50mg per dose.

Q4: Does this account for decarboxylation?
A: This calculates total potential THC. For edibles, you must decarboxylate raw cannabis first to activate THC.

Q5: How accurate are lab test percentages?
A: Lab results can vary ±15% due to testing methods and sample heterogeneity.
