From: | To: |
Marijuana edible potency refers to the concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) per serving in cannabis-infused food products. It helps consumers understand the strength of each serving for proper dosing and consumption.
The calculator uses the potency formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the total THC content by the number of servings to determine the potency per serving.
Details: Accurate potency calculation is crucial for safe consumption, proper dosing, regulatory compliance, and consumer awareness of cannabis edible products.
Tips: Enter the total THC amount in milligrams and the number of servings. All values must be valid (THC amount > 0, servings ≥ 1).
Q1: Why is potency calculation important for edibles?
A: Proper potency calculation ensures consistent dosing, helps avoid overconsumption, and provides accurate product labeling for consumers.
Q2: What are typical potency ranges for edibles?
A: Potency typically ranges from 5-10 mg per serving for beginners to 50-100 mg+ per serving for experienced users, though regulations vary by jurisdiction.
Q3: How is total THC amount determined?
A: Total THC is usually calculated based on the cannabis material used, its THC percentage, and extraction efficiency during the infusion process.
Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: This calculation assumes even distribution of THC throughout the product. Actual potency may vary if the THC is not uniformly distributed.
Q5: Should this be used for commercial products?
A: For commercial production, laboratory testing is recommended to verify actual THC content and ensure accurate potency labeling.
