What is THC?
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It's responsible for the 'high' feeling associated with cannabis use.
Calculating THC Content
THC content in edibles is typically measured in milligrams (mg). To calculate the THC content per serving, you need to know the total THC in the edible and the number of servings it contains.
Average THC Content in Edibles
The average THC content in edibles can vary widely. Some common types of edibles include gummies, chocolates, and baked goods. Here are some general guidelines:
What is a Standard Edible Dose?
- Gummies: 5-10 mg per piece
- Chocolates: 5-10 mg per piece
- Baked Goods: 5-15 mg per serving
Important Considerations
It's important to start with a low dose, especially if you're new to edibles. THC can take longer to take effect than smoking, so wait at least an hour before consuming more.
