1. What is THC Calculator For Edibles?

The THC Calculator For Edibles estimates the total THC content in milligrams for cannabis-infused edibles based on the weight of cannabis used, its potency percentage, and the extraction efficiency of the process.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the THC calculation formula:

\[ THC_{mg} = Weight \times Potency \times Extraction Efficiency \]

Where:

\( Weight \) — Weight of cannabis in grams
\( Potency \) — THC percentage (converted to decimal)
\( Extraction Efficiency \) — Efficiency of THC extraction as a decimal (0-1)

Explanation: The formula calculates the total THC content by multiplying the weight of cannabis by its potency percentage (converted to decimal) and the extraction efficiency, then converts to milligrams.

3. Importance of THC Calculation

Details: Accurate THC calculation is crucial for dosing cannabis edibles properly, ensuring consistent effects, and avoiding overconsumption. It helps users create predictable and safe edible products.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the weight of cannabis in grams, potency as a percentage (e.g., 15 for 15%), and extraction efficiency as a decimal (e.g., 0.8 for 80% efficiency). All values must be valid positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is extraction efficiency important?
A: Extraction efficiency accounts for the fact that not all THC is extracted during the infusion process. Different methods (butter, oil, alcohol) have varying efficiency rates.

Q2: What is a typical extraction efficiency value?
A: Most home extraction methods have 60-80% efficiency. Professional methods may achieve up to 90-95% efficiency.

Q3: How do I determine my extraction efficiency?
A: Efficiency can be estimated based on your extraction method and equipment. Laboratory testing provides the most accurate measurement.

Q4: Can this calculator be used for CBD calculations?
A: Yes, the same formula applies for CBD content calculations by substituting CBD percentage for THC percentage.

Q5: Why convert to milligrams?
A: THC content is typically measured in milligrams for accurate dosing, as most edible dosing recommendations are given in mg amounts.
