Edible Dosage Calculator

It’s simple: just input how much cannabis you’re using, how much butter or oil you’re using, and the THC and CBD percentages for your strain of choice (if you know them). The calculator will then tell you the potency of your final product and each serving.

An edibles calculator helps you know what to expect from your homemade treats. Because edibles travel first to your stomach and then to your liver before getting into your bloodstream and brain, the liver converts THC into 11 hydroxy-THC, a stronger form. Therefore, it’s important to be informed about the dosage you take before your embark on your edible journey.

The potency of edibles can be determined by a number of factors, including the consumer’s metabolism, body mass index, and tolerance. THC is also fat soluble, so if you eat a food that’s heavy in fat, it may affect the speed that the edible is absorbed in your body,

While your edible dosage depends on your tolerance and preference, our best advice to determine how much of an edible you should take is to start low and go slow. Take a small dose of the edible and wait at least two hours for it to kick in before upping the dose.

For THC and THCA potency, enter the THC percentage listed on the packaging that your dispensary provided you. If the packaging does not list the THC percentage, you can typically find the average percentage of common strains by searching online.

If you’re using cannabis concentrates to make your edibles, the potencies may differ depending on how these concentrates were made. Concentrates that were made using solvents like butane or ethanol, tend to have lower potencies than solventless dabs.

No, you can use whatever butter you like. However, we recommend using unsalted butter to control the salt content of your final product. Cannabinoids are lipophiles and they bind very easily with fats and oils such as butter, lecithin, vinegar, and even alcohol. Whatever you use for your infusion, make sure that the cannabinoids will be able to bind to it.

While this calculator helps you make THC edibles at home, you can buy THC edibles at most licensed dispensaries in your area.

While you can overdose on edibles, a THC overdose is not fatal. Instead, you’ll experience symptoms like paranoia, nausea, extreme dizziness, dry mouth, and impaired cognitive function.

Edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to kick in, depending on several factors. That’s why we recommend you wait at least two hours before taking more edibles.

The effects of edibles generally last anywhere from 6-8 hours. However, depending on various factors, including dose and potency, edible highs may last up to 12 hours or longer.

Tips for dosing with edibles include starting with a low dose and waiting at least two hours before taking more. Also, when making edibles at home, use an edible dosage calculator to calculate the potency of your final product. Also, make sure to take your edibles on a full stomach (fatty foods can help with absorption), and drink plenty of water to help your body process the effects.
