Calculating THC Content

Calculating the THC content for a recipe involves determining the total amount of THC in your cannabis product and then dividing it by the number of servings or portions. To calculate the THC per serving, you'll need to consider the following factors:

1. **THC Percentage:** You should know the THC percentage of your cannabis product. This information is typically available on the product packaging or can be obtained from a lab test if you are making your own cannabis-infused product. For example, if your cannabis flower is labeled as having 15% THC, this means it contains 15 mg of THC per gram.

2. **Amount of Cannabis Used:** Measure how much cannabis you are using in your recipe. This could be in grams, ounces, or another unit of measurement.

3. **Number of Servings:** Determine the number of servings or portions your recipe will yield. For instance, if you are making a batch of brownies and plan to cut them into 16 pieces, you have 16 servings.

Now, here's how to calculate the THC per serving:

**THC per Serving (in milligrams) = (THC Percentage / 100) x (Amount of Cannabis Used in grams) / (Number of Servings)**

Let's use an example to illustrate:

1. THC Percentage: 15%

2. Amount of Cannabis Used: 5 grams

3. Number of Servings: 16 brownies

**THC per Serving = (15 / 100) x (5 grams) / (16 servings) = (0.15) x (5 grams) / (16 servings) = 0.075 grams (or 75 milligrams) per serving.**

So, each brownie in this example would contain approximately 75 milligrams of THC.

It's important to note that this calculation provides an estimate, as the actual THC content can vary based on factors like the accuracy of your measurements, the efficiency of the decarboxylation process, and how evenly the THC is distributed throughout your recipe. Additionally, individual tolerance to THC varies, so be cautious when serving edibles with calculated THC content, especially if you are unsure about your tolerance or the potency of your cannabis product. Always start with a lower dose and wait to feel the effects before consuming more.
