Calculating Potency
Unless you invest in an at-home THC tester, there’s no way to know exactly how potent your infusion is. You can, however, do a calculation to get a rough estimate of potency.
• Multiply grams of flower used by 1,000 to convert to milligrams
• Example: 3.5g x 1,000 = 3,500mg
• Multiply the milligrams used by the percentage of THC and/or CBD (or more accurately, THCA and/or CBDA) in your flower. If you don’t know the potency of your cannabis, the average “high-THC” strain is around 18-22% THC; we typically assume that mystery strains have 20% THC. This will tell you the total potential milligrams of THC in your infusion.
• Example: 3,500mg x 0.2 = 700mg
• Multiply your total potential milligrams by 90%. Only about 75-87.7% of THCA converts into THC during decarboxylation, so multiplying by 90% helps prevent underestimating how much THC is in your infusion.
• Example: 700mg x 0.9 = 630mg
• Divide the total number of mg by your serving size.
• Example: Let’s say you infused ½ cup of butter (24 teaspoons). 630mg divided by 24 teaspoons = 26.25mg THC per teaspoon
