What is Potency?
Potency refers to the concentration of active compounds, primarily THC and CBD, in a cannabis product. It's typically measured in milligrams (mg) per serving.
How to Find Potency Information
Look for the 'Potency' or 'THC/CBD Content' section on the label. This will list the total amount of THC and CBD in the product.
Understanding Serving Sizes
Each serving size is usually listed on the label. This helps you understand how much of the product you're consuming.
